ONE word,
Two people,
Multiple Meanings.
Love.
The eyes to one’s heart open and shut,
Opening to the wrong person leaves a slice, a cut.

my decrepit, shellacked, pain 
it stretches my melodic thinned soul
into flickering multi-colored 
shattered pieces 
of what could have been (Might-have-been)
of sad, no-one gives a dam tunes
stroked on loosen string 
sounding like two lovers crying in...

O come to me yon revelry
As you constantly stand ever,
Before me...loving people

Rise and rise up thine
Covertly any based on

Wash out thine...
