my trademark penchant 
to fabricate fictitiously
portions of the following poetic endeavor
can you care to 
discern fact from fiction?

Attempts at lifelong friendships and holy matrimony...

Shot thru with figuratively cankerous nub,

"The discrepancies are many, the dalliances are few,
both pitched against one dynamic, lifelong achievement"

DON DIDDY'S DEEDS
 
Diddy, the daring, dashing dude,
Dabbled in dalliances, oh so crude.
Darting through dreams, dollars, and deucing.
Dangling diamonds & jewels, with his schuffel dancing.4

Emotionally locking Cassie, his victims...

Bereft..
tingles and sway
deserted
heartstrings bestilled..
I yearn
for the thrill of the dance
and for ravishing trills of arpeggio moments..

widowed..
the capriccio
has died;
lifeless in swoon-less inertia  
I pine
for zealous zephyrs to float my cloudless notes 
and kiss me aquiver...

and anchored in the quicksand of incontinence
