Paroles sans Romances

What kept you from a votive candle to

That poet?  Having him beside you for

Two years almost, abandoning the coup

You failed as wilting communard in war

By running off with genius that could match

Or conquer even more than yours, you flunked

Your chance with him.  Why couldn’t you attach

Him to your heart?  As usual you bunked

Off to your dreaminess and booze.  Above

All other reasons, he was cruel, hard, and cold

So not attracted to that thing called love.

This one was rankly cerebral and bold

And didn’t understand affection’s weed.

He lived for black light thoughts and freedom’s greed.
