Let me say A poet out of love is realistic A canvas is as much as petty fantasy As four letter words better left unspoken My guitar strings have all broken In this moment, I am stranded With a world of potential to change my perspective Like self stimulation, or brave epileptics, No. I understand what you mean When you say a poet out of love Is a journey never taken I don't doubt the depth and splendor of your love Wordless A sure sign that you know pain. But therein lies the rub-- We will always be to blame We will never truly escape And so I do let love do its silly little dance in my heart And sometimes lions roar They do But I must remind myself and be ready, Even if there are two sides of nothing.
