What's left when a kiss is o'er and through,
When limbs once-woven unfurled?
I still see kinks from me-and-you,
Bear the gravity of our world —
Still, you dare to take a simple love,
Compare it with ill-fated time,
Withdraw from this curious treasure trove,
Treat you-and-me as mere past-time?
Words fail
Emotions fail
Love fails
Time fails
There is The World,
And then, there is the world:
Control versus freedom
Love... and nonsense-rhyme
The sense that makes sense makes no sense to you;
Though I follow your thinking, the logic's askew —
And I'll suffer while you do as you do,
And I'll love even while your love you eschew,
And I'll love, remain while you bid 'adieu'...
And I'll help you acquire a wife, anew...
While I hold the days close
When you held me so close
When words won
And hearts won
And love won
And time won
And I won time with one
Whom I always loved
