Else

Always something . . . else
determines my demise!
I want to love you ~ time excels
and regulates concise!

Determines thy behalf and mine
    conspicuous excise,
are we not free to find ourselves
    to merit our rely?

I love thee so - I cannot shelf
   this feeling, not comply,
and so it is the gain is else,
   while Thee and I apply!

With rules set out, our lives are whet
        to usable reply ~
Yes Sir, No Ma'am, I find the plan
   of others takes my why!

It is true love, I want for strove
       all matters only try ~
Some simple faith from up above,
     Let all else . . . live or die!
