Love Poem for Emily Maitlis of BBC's Newsnight

Your tired bedroom eyes on the TV screen
Are the origin of desire;
Kohl-rimmed, jaded, staring out
From a perfect face balanced on a swan-like wrist.
I pull the pint away from my dry lips
And drink in something stronger for a split-second,
The windows of your soul stoking something in me
Close to madness. Emily, I love you
More than Brian Wilson.

G.W.

    I'm taken aback by this poem from Grahame - a first, I think?

    Have you seen this bit of stuff he's slobbering over in verse? She's no Bruni. More of a Bruno.
