Many are a tale of them words infidel Some spurn woos and some negate advances Am left aching with a chronic numb pain That sure is to haunt me forever so again Aye, bitter are your treacherous amorous innates Nonchalant and uncaring if my pain allays Am getting used to the pungent stench of despair Somewhere up close perilously wafting in the air Can’t miss the blaspheme in your hide and seek Some playing the obvious and some the elusive Thank heavens for my couch full of ironies I can still sieve the genuine from the cronies You camouflage well and begin as a thought Kaleidoscoped in a myriad shades palettes and secrets Whispering me some and persuading me of the other There I go lose my way hither and thither Oh words it ain’t me who holds a grudge or two Am ever so honored to have you on the girdle Galloping the grace of an Afghan thoroughbred Cantering the unbridled wild and inciting the dread But may be it’s time to morph the simile a bit You bond as a muse and fail as the wretched Am done calling you names slander and libel But hey many are a tale of them words infidel
