Written for Franks final contest. I hope you enjoy my entry Frank.
I wish love could be a river Flowing through the trees Sparkling like crystal waters So I can drink her as I please But this love she's complicated She often brings me to my knees My need is like a fever That feels like a disease At times she make me strong I feel like the mighty oak Other times she wraps so tightly In her embrace I start to choke At times she feels so solid And then she turns to smoke When I think in terms of forever She laughs like it's a joke Yes, I want her to be a river Flowing through the trees Sparkling like crystal waters So I can drink her as I please But love she's complicated She often brings me to my knees My need is like a fever That feels like a disease When the years turned into shouts Love didn't love me any more What was broke just couldn't be fixed Love kept me locked outside her door She once had made me happy Then in two my heart was tore I had wished upon her forever Instead she abandoned me on the shore Then I went down to the ocean There I found love near the sand She was not mine to control Her nature I could not command Love, she's far too complicated Her I may never fully understand When I try to hold her to tightly She slips easily from my hand So I dive into her ocean Feel her cure my heart's dis-ease She becomes my endless pleasure She says "Do with me as you please" Time is no longer important I travel her ocean like a breeze Love she was always forever Now I enjoy her with such ease So if you want love to be a river Flowing through the trees Sparkling like crystal waters So you can drink her as you please Try not to hold her tightly if you wish to cure your hearts dis-ease Love she can gift you forever or leave you broken on your knees!
