Free Cee As I Strolled Past the Past

AS I STROLLED PAST THE PAST I saw a soul so seductive A wild woman with wile Meeting her would have been counter-productive Because I am a fool given to guile She strolled by me with a stimulating smile Yet I simply frowned in response My life wouldn’t become hers to defile For I am akin to a candle searching for a sconce I am a candle being burned at both ends As the flame heads for the center of wax I have too many enemies but precious few friends And love is something reality redundantly redacts I watched the woman walk wondrously by But I’ve known too many ladies who lie They voice falsehoods and then say “goodbye” As weariness and woefulness grow nigh They come nearer to me than I need them to be While the seductive tempt me with a grin I don’t want to know why they want to know me Because only a fool would want the scurrilous to begin © 2012….copyright PHREEPOETREE ....~free cee!~
