With nuance, it may be infused, but I sit here, so confused. My soul's more at home in a simple poem. It may be childish or naive, but my heart can best receive where love belongs - in a simple song. My body and my brain, trying so hard to sustain, long to grow old and gray on a simple day. So, let's just me and you gaze into a sky that's blue, and coo like a turtle dove to a simple love.
