People and Things
WHAT I LOVE - First Rispetto
Upon a perusal of things that I love
An elemental truth I have come upon
There’s nothing beautiful, below or above
Not connected in some way to a person
Life is about people, whether gent or femme
The scent of my love or a poetic gem
Even nature means nothing if you can’t share
The beauty with somebody for whom you care
WHAT I HATE - Second Rispetto
Upon introspection of that which I hate
Another splinter has been lodged in my mind
There is nothing that I loathe, early or late
That exists outside the scope of all mankind
All is connected to a broad or a bloke
Pounding music from a car, second-hand smoke
The ticking clock because it’s a reminder
I’ll soon be a thing, not someone to hold her
