Lips pairs
Pinky petals
Plays sleepless

Washed by tides, tangle inevitable,
Lurking licking tongues, tiger whisker weed
Undercurrent gritty slippery tendrils -
Barb trusting toes with camouflaged cat creed
Wet predator paws apply pressure
Leeching life from faithful feet, farcical
Undulating grass, salty claws sever
Blades gash slices, cut soles grow barnacles
February silk ribbon Valentine
Loch Ness of Labrador's fatal lagoon
Spiralled willing limbs in sanguine brown twine
Infatuated padlocked throat caused swoon
Hapless lass captured by Amoretto
Dapper lethal lech Don Juan Otto
Second of February

I have a rich and fruity voice,
of which I’m very proud.
I have a wide and varied choice
of songs, I sing out loud.
I like to fill the ample lung,
then trill in high falsetto.
To gasp once more and then give tongue
as tenor ‘amoretto’.
When in the bath, with water hot,
’tis then perhaps I’ll choose
to belt out jazz in mega watt,
or croon the midnight blues.
But when I voice some modern pop,
my family then, a bombshell drop:
“This ghastly noise has got to STOP!”

Tangled in confusion, a nomadic disenchantment,
Comraderie, we thought it was, is apethic callous,
Yet still exists a languid hope for remants of a promise,
That one day amoretto though absturce and in concealment,
Will find itself exposed to the vainglory of revealment,
Then Philanderous fancy shall alter to enamor,
And our creases of affection will sonor into furrow,
Reconciling want to be's in sorrow of tomorrow,
But once the dream is dared upon will fancy turn to nightmare?
The vicious trend could end of wanting in our recollection,
If nostalgia felt for false could cause feigned memory to be?
What is and what shall never be.
