Nothing Could Ever Be This Love

You wanna give with ties that bind

Thinking that I would never find

Your bonds have blues and hues, cues

Had I known, I’d not take it true

I could never quite be of this

But you wanted a shake of it

Nothing that is and nothing can be of

Nothing could ever be this love

There’s no connecting right thereof

Nothing could ever be this love

The tides were tough in your stead

And laying on me was your thread

To explain away your heart

When the discord was your art

And play away at my feet

When I’d never asked your feat

Nor asked any of any your qualms

Nothing could ever be this love

You laid them straight in arms

Nothing could ever be this love

I’d wished for transparency 

For I’d trusted it given me

But I cannot find it now, I cannot find it now

Nothing could ever be this love

Nothing could ever be this love

Nothing could ever be this love

Nothing could ever be this love

I Keep Writing Poems

I keep writing poems

You keep placing bombs

I want all my meanings 

To be close to love psalms

You want to fry all

Your cooking pot to roost

You want all the bygones

Keep focus on your roast 

You have no deeper thoughts

Than what you have to boost 

I’d never felt more shambles

Than some offering of the too

When a witness has to ramble

To make sense of the root

And explain away the silliness 

Of grown men for the truth

Who only brags to offer 

When none more is to  boot
