Don'T Take It Seriously

'Honey bunny' --
Here do I cross my heart;
I am confused.

Do I believe?
Do I love?
Do I see through?

But I speak a lot --
Words for words' sake;
Find my capacitated strength
In my literature --
And I enjoy that. 

Not flirting around dear,
Nor hosting a game show,
Nor stripping your 'wet-suit'
To see you in a naked aquarium.

I enjoy words,
Love, life in it.

I engineer  them and mold them
To see me gay in shaping blocks. 

Don't take my words seriously, then
Enjoy that to your heart's content.
