Nonsense rhymes
To show I too
Can waste my time
And as I do it
Just for fun
Make you laugh
When I am done.

breathe perfect poetic vibes
drifting in beats of drums

Exercise fresh life
Into the lungs of a sunrise
My demise in life
Is the attraction of fun crimes

This text is silly?
I think your mind is chilly...
Read between the lines,
It's less about making rhymes
Than it's shifting paradigms

Sweet not only for my sake,
But also tender 
While showing his own splendor,
While making love in shower.

I fear my rhymes won’t click or stick.

And passed it on to me, but worse…

And not what's in my heart

That explains 
All the cockamamie rhymes
And most of the crazy parts
