And After All, All These, My Pretty Rose

And after all, all these, my love I adore you and will always love you, my dove After so much hubbub and confusion After so much chaos and tribulation After so many wacky discussions After so many funny contentions After so many false accusations After so many weak oppositions After so many vain humiliations After so many terrible deeds After so many wills After so many avowals After so many strange rainbows After so many real lies After so many misunderstandings After so many crazy pleadings After so many futile quarrels After so many useless looks After so many hodgepodge and perils After so many manias and childish gestures After so much insults and chimeras After so much contempt and paramilitary wars After so many litany roars After so many laconic reactions After so many bitter uproars After so many backward speeches After so many elegiac poems After so many demonic emblems After so many incredible crevasses After so many days and nights of irksomeness After so many drunken and diseased sweats After so many fast and furtive tears After so many things that I wouldn't dare to detail And after so many others that I wouldn’t like to list I love you, I want you and I will continue to love you Love is a madness swollen with inexplicable lust Words and lyrics are sometimes incapable tools To properly define the destiny and the exegeses of the soul No one is perfect except a woman's imagination Men are always wrong. Strong men never own The appropriate reason whatever the season After all, all these, my pretty rose The firmament wouldn't turn tenebrous The spring wind has come to garland Mother Nature Birds fly and sing. What a joyous adventure The future will tell the rest. Like a scribe in verve, I can't wait to write And after all these, I love you and I want to confirm all my chitchats. P.S.
