Somehow, One Summer, Someone Somewhere Summed It Up

SOMEHOW, ONE SUMMER, SOMEONE SOMEWHERE IN SOME WAY SUMMED IT UP Somehow they work it out and get into bed Somehow they’d both rather make love instead Instead of fussing about things that matter not in the long run Somehow they work it out and the fighting is done No one really understands how they do what they do It may simply be the dove and his lifetime mate as they coo Everyone marvels at the magnanimous virtue of each Until, once again, they start firing and both run into the breach He did this to her and she did that to him as they bickered back and forth And they both knew with surety that one should go south, the other one north Give them enough time to consider their options at hand And the next thing they’ll do will be something no one will understand Doves mate for life or so I’ve been told by word of mouth And neither lover really wanted to head north or south But divisions and diverse dreams un-fulfilled had caused a rift Yet they both remember each other’s embrace and how making love was granted as a gift They decided to part as no longer partners would be the prudent plan A winsome woman woefully in love with a wandering man Two years later they met accidentally by the shore as their toes sifted through the sand Lo and behold today they’re once again together and that’s another thing no one can understand © 2011...Phreepoetry ~free cee!~
