The Never Ending War

I’m not the one from which she wants flowers.

 

Yet I’m content,

 

Thinking of her

 

At night, in my showers.

 

 

During the day,

 

I’ll go about normally,

 

Throwing a wink,

 

Denial- nonchalantly.

 

 

For my mind sees

 

What my body cannot,

 

And he envisions her

 

From her head to her knees.

 

 

There are many,

 

They're not kind,

 

They cause war

 

Between body and mind.

 

 

But you must remember the body is blind.
