Bend in steel
heart’s feel, soul’s peel
force of emotions
elations, demotions
sacrifice, devotions,
all wasted, if I lost
self absorbed love
at vanity’s cost
Has to be you
where I need to be true
not me and my marathon
hike and climb,
open or sublime,
the ladder of affection
self satisfaction!
get off this path
true love dissatisfaction
destruction, demolition
is what is required
heart enquired,
but found none
and that is a fact
enough of the act
drown or leave
never to be seen
nothing in between
Capisce old chum
blown up drum,
in whisky and rum
