Off the Cuff

I roll these words in the mere moment off the cuff.... without posy (prims) to say hello, (ad-lib is the Lion) A Beggar in the mud.... for a lighter brush; with less darkness in verse, She has fallen.... from grace, I shudder ---- how wan the dying rose! Her petals lilt, (my wings plucked with shadow.....) I've given all, but not enough, love is absolute(ly)..... without delay in affection I shall try to return with a rainbow or two.... **(Wrote this 'off the cuff' for lack of material....)

Its those words which come out unexpectedly without knowing when or how that bleed so sincierely from the heart.. As so the dying rose'petals lilt and wither unexpectedly..but another Spring follows with a new bloom of blossoms and rainbows..Beautiful poem!
