threadbare buildings stand solemnly

When words bandied are ‘Love’ ‘Romance’, and ‘My Dear’
Question popped is,
“Will you be my Valentine’?
No, nothing wrong in it
That’s fine
But to find ‘genuine’ love

He tried lotions and pills
But not one cured his ills.
Now he's a silent nail hole cleaner.

Inside a smart heart gone stone cold
Enabling losses, mosses and tosses to unleash the thunderbolt
That with no iota of care clinches and pinches my gold

Empty barns, abandoned abodes
I've grown too tired to bear this load

My path has led me, far from home
I find no comfort as I roam

carrying a single rose, for the love that's gone away
her face is muffled by a veil, that only she can hide
and her secrets all concealed, nothing to confide.

His confident but gentle touch reaches her chest,
Tempting her yet...

Shes the fancy fighter;
Who won't get it through her head;
That in that world that she lives in
There's only quick or dead.

 He bobs and weaves and steps back

there's something about the way she says no.
it starts with her hands, 
the way she grasps each wrist
wringing each dry as she clinches her fist.

Sitting in a reserved preoccupation,
Counting down the hours until the bus pulls into the station.
Consumed with an agonizing anticipation,
To once again be flooded with green fields of consumption.

Watching your fave
In the closest of matches
Feels like having an itch
With no way to make scratches.

You sit there on needles
And pins on your seat
Hoping that his opponent
Will suffer defeat.

The crowd starts to cheer
As the underdog...
