Third Eye Candy
when i fell in love i had no word for runaway faster but hang in there.
i had all my problems in mint condition
like a  monkey’s paw in candle wax
but slept with Hope and *** and Perdition.
As your Lips were spoken for… or five and then some.
a whirling dervish of incomplete
Love.

I kept to the Plan.
Loved only you with -
my unspoken tongue.
kept to our barn
where our herd
Heard only the Punch
of our Judy.

Blue
where a Vice
is Anointed
and You. where
a Me
is disappointed

Like a Pro.
another wave of the
pandemic is on its
way
there's no respite from
its returning
play
  
none of us can let our
alert guard
down  
ever we've got to keep a watchful
eye on our yard's
crown  
  
it's like a nightmare
that recurs again and
again
and we've yet to erase
the vision of its repeat
refrain
  
the tide of the virus
comes back with its
manifest
which gives unto us all
little hiatus or
rest
