Free Cee Damocles Damns Cheese
DAMOCLES DAMNS CHEESE
I made every day soothingly slumber some
To bring naught the night so soon
Days I prayed with no moon soon to come
Since the sunshine’s sword of separation arrived late afternoon
I let never one day simply skip by
I cherished the color emerald in your eyes
then I committed to memory each dawning sky
And how one smile of yours could clear the most obstinate and objectionable of skies
I enveloped every day with both of my tenacious arms
Expert extremities bent explicitly on exquisite expectations
Each moment of sunshine further fanned the flame of your charms
But there was always the threat and specter of that sword of separation
Damn Damocles and damn the sword he wielded in vain
His sword wasn’t anything compared to separation’s blade forged to inflict incalculable pain
Damocles might have had a lover or two with whom he spent time
But the sword of separation never severed his soul from the sublime
By detriment’s design
As it did mine
