A LOVE SONG

My aim is noble

and steady as a flame

Stark obessions

reveal my earthly pain,

 

I am beyond all reason

believe I am no saint.

Love is a complex fiction

especially when it drains.

 

Twilight discovers truth and clarity.

Love really takes no brains.

A **** and ****** on my block,

a hideous bombing in Irag.

 

My love, she grabs and screams "Obey."

I pinch and push her far away.

"Let's celebrate our mundane life,

otherwise Love, pick up that knife."
