the other side of love
that is the side I miss
its such an illuminating thought
but shorter than a goodbye kiss
it is the one I can not clearly remember
yet nor can I truly forget
I adore turning an idea upside down
then shaking it up a little
just to see what falls out
and that
many times and more to me
is just what love is all about
'Disturbance' in and of itself
as I've had my hearty fill of heads
without wit
minds without good clear judgment
hearts without even a shred of honesty
and pockets filled with too easily
acquired ( not earned) money
not an expensive shallow far too pretty
self over rated lap dog
who refuses to listen when I call him
but rather I long for a whole and spiritually
rich man.............
