I Know Love Well

Yes I know love, I know her well For I'm a hunter who excels Who knows his prey by sound and smell And signs that tell, and signs that tell. I've hunted love so long it seems I'd know her even in my dreams I've seen her victims she demeans And those she weans, and those she weans. My trophy mounts stare tauntingly Their cold dead eyes laugh mockingly "Yes, you got us but where is she?" They laugh at me, they laugh at me. I hear them now inside my head They're daring me to push ahead To have her fur spread o'er my bed Her arms widespread, her arms widespread. Yes I know love, that is you see I've tracked her now relentlessly But like the unicorn that flees She runs from me, she runs from me. Timothy I. Brumley
