Summer’s verdant leaves /
Whisper to the shaggy grass: /
Birds love us the best.
Summer’s verdant leaves /
Whisper to the shaggy grass: /
Birds love us the best.

Love’s an empty town /
With only the clown around /
Tears of joy greet you.

The stargazer grieves /
for the love he left behind /
fading into daylight.
There once was a writer of Romance /
Who had a stance on love at first glance. /
It was hard for him to believe /
Or even try to conceive /
That it could be done while still wearing your pants.

Let us hang the Moon /
Tonight and forever: /
You, me, Sun, and Love.

Whipped cream mountain kiss, /
Berries touching a waffle, /
Subtly love comes.

Love hangs on a cross, /
the object of endless quests. /
The hero does not.

The wind and the truth /
whirl with autumn’s brittle edge. /
Leaves and love are brown.

O’ this problematic /
of all that is quite antic /
stands in ways dramatic /
at the lover’s front door. /
But it would be most ecstatic /
and even a touch fantastic /
to touch your life elastic /
once upon a time once more. /
Though time be a bit erratic /
and full of senseless static /
like a radio set to bombastic /
’tis you my heart adores. /
And though life is all to plastic /
with desires trifling spastic /
my mind trips the light romantic /
in wishing for amour. /
So, redact moments miasmic /
and reach for ones orgasmic /
and travel beyond the didactic /
until we reach each other’s door. /

He stole her best years.
All he left her was his love:
flawed and cracked; she smiled.
