Poke-a-dots

We loved for seasons, enough to live life, enough to opt for something different; where some may love, to find for solace, we turned up a nose.     It’s something difficult; to spread for thin, where love halts its destination; for this was us, lost for lonely, open to alternatives; where some have not, the grandest perspective, as grandiose as, I can’t; and this is living, to know for choices, as free as Rihanna.     We never would, to feign we should, as distant as lovemaking; but not for all, for something’s there, a fragment of a self; in which are spurts, to shelter pride, where both forsook a universe.     We lived for arms, and lied for love, to rebuild from wounds; and love us more, to birth a child, and flee into a city; but what for art, a tragic tale, as tall as Zeus; in which is fear, the theft of self, to sit in silence.     I hope it stood, as stalwart as trees, to withstand the winds; for if for bane, than life is torn, a falcon to pavement; for vultures came, to pierce the flesh, to watch for death; but this is life, to kill and laugh, a bit metaphorical.     We love in grief, fresh from love, where neither gripped the rope; and thus a cliff, to pardon breath, the kef of danger.     I love you less, to love you more, a silly resistance; where friction dwells, to lecture love, an adjunct life.     We perished scenes, to reckon Shakespeare, a Rembrandt ache; where death is good, to reckon self, a spear to a soul.     I’m more asunder, to find for love, a bit religious.     They say it spiritual, to offset rules, where pain is segue. So more to love, to reach a cloud, fallin’ through billows; for this a ruse, and never seen, a women’s kimono; where great is heart, a treble beat, the tempo of crazy.     So earth is sun, where sun is life, sweating through scratching; in which is pain, a woman’s eyes, to know for sacrifice.
