ink injected lines,
their soiled lives

replanted
sunnyside down
expunged and 
wrung out

eventually,

Proof

She:
Prove to me thy love.
Then doubt I may dismiss.
Give proof of thy worthiness
for thy woman's marital bliss.

He:
How can this proof of love,

Kicking his clothes to the corner, she'll smile
He'll stay and play and feel pleased, for a while
A tease he may be, flirtacious is...

On my road to see the Wizard of Oz
I've stopped at many places
Suddenly turned into each character
Survived each one of their Faces

My life has turned 360
Now I'm a light giver

maybe by Moon River with your lips in a quiver,
on Mars the canal man said: Stand and deliver.'

Perhaps I could...
