There was someone, whom I too once loved,
A heart so pure, a flame that never swerved.

Little by little, and subtly, most of its baffling sways.

 MY SECRET RIVER
~~~~~~~~~~

Its source some distance from its end, highlands.
A little trickle meanders a mile.
Pure, full of many forms of life, no fish!
Now babbles over rocky ground, the brook,
widening, now with banks, sticklebacks, the...

each recounted slight, each observed inequity,
fueling the...

Are you,
could you ever
be jovial

And if so, how would
that suit your true
persona, your whole
standing in life?

No, I mean your true

and pretty darn grand
day in day out, with...

A heart bleeding, disillusioned by deception, and finally abandoned
