Puppy Love Ain'T No Saviour

Advance and dance towards destiny Galumph Defy the lie and cry of scrutiny Triumph Over hurdles seen and unseen Drive and dive to arrive At the intersection where a queen Awaits your appearance as you strive To breach odds stacked against success Meant to land in caloused hands That have toiled and moiled to access The priceless dream magic wands Dangle to whet your appetite To fight on As your sacred satellite Orbits in the vicinity of the zone Where proximal development weighs your mettle Questioning Whether rejection and dejection can unsettle Positioning and repositioning Couched in sound marshalling of interpersonal skills To peel Layers of humbug from stills To feel Love concealed beneath an iceberg That threatens to undermine your schooner As you voyage towards Johannesburg In tandem with Charlie Pride, the crooner Spicing up your voyage with bliss ballads That wash away Distractions and subtractions from salads That hold sway When you pursue the path your heart Declares full of promises Meant to signal your restart Of negotiations to soothe pieces From your life’s jigsaw puzzle Whacked out of shape By a Kalashnikov muzzle Whose lion-like nape Reminds you to turn right At the crossroads Where might and fright Debate whether Heaven and Hell roads Intersect inside the crystal ball of love gone mad Despite head shrinkers’ efforts To decipher why glad guys go sad When love distorts Good intentions into daggers That hurt with curt behavior Turning smiling faces into feeble figures Pleading to kneel and confess love ain’t no savior.
