Horoscope, Kaleidoscope, Microscope and Telescope

Grope slopes of love doves through your palpitation periscope
Sacrifice the price of neglect notoriety, preserve the verve of hope
Multiply and gratify the clue and value of courtesy
Divide glides, prides and slides of mock mercy.   

Grope slopes of love doves through your happiness horoscope
Sacrifice the price of a quick kiss, preserve the nerve of hope
Modify sly cries and dignify the cure of heartbreaks
Deride delusions and illusions of miscued mistakes.

Grope slopes of love doves through your tenderness telescope
Sacrifice the price of peace paucity, preserve reserves of hope
Magnify mollification and glorify the clue and value of happiness
Dismiss dogmas of domination, demand the dismissal of sadness.

Grope slopes of love doves through your casual kaleidoscope
Sacrifice the price of ubris ulullations, preserve rights and sights of hope
Modernize merit mandates and dates that picture pristine queens
Don docility and cater for crates and fates of mates in their teens.

This is quite the "write". The way you connect words are the way Johnny Cash sings a song; no one can follow you. Drop the mike, John. Drop the mike.

Bleak and honest. This poem makes the reader think, is this what we want? What can we do? You may have motivated some of us to action, Yinka. Well said.

This poem reminds me of Tina and Ike Turner's song "What's love got to do with it?"This is a realistic word portrait of a long-time love.
