Free Cee Six To Five At Five To Six

SIX TO FIVE AT FIVE TO SIX
           SIX TO FIVE AT FIVE TO SIX
How quickly “i couldn't love you any  more” becomes “I couldn't love you anymore”
because love is supposed to be beautiful and exciting
it should be an easy flight and never a chore
and doesn't include words such as “arguing”, “threatening” and/or “fighting

“i couldn't love you any more”
I remember reciting those words when they were true
then you called me a bastard and I called you a bore
until “i couldn't love you anymore” took precedence due to you

love was never meant to become dull or droll
laughter should greet the sun and a smile at night should bid it adieu 
love should never be a contest or a matter of power and control
while each dawn should find forever a love which feels brand new

“i couldn't love you any more” means I love you as deeply as love ever grows
love should make one feel joyous, jovial and spry
“i couldn't love you anymore” brings a one act play called love to a close
six words turns into five and that urges one to cry

Jeffry, firstly I love this, it is very clever the way you change the perception simply by adding a space, altering the whole meaning of the poem, secondly many thanks for your kind comments, I appreciate your talent, and boy you are talented, write on my friend....David
