Bang Up To The Elephant

 

To love and live with free intent, makes people do what never thought.

I thought for days and weeks, and more to find the why between the trees.

For me the search was far and wide, I walked and stalked, gal seeking

But too often I see my soul, was the two of three-girl prostrated.

 

I toiled in my head to sort, the feelings, the touch the gaze alone.

But never once to see the ball, I often turn, and moment gone

That moment never needs remain, for even if the girl she sang,

For me, she still would always be, the two of three girl damfino.

 

Me bricky often, sometimes gigglemug, I gaze and got the morbs.

I sit in halls dark half rats and try to split the hairs betwixed.

Twas upbringing the cause or dream, that locks me in my mind today

Myself I ask in tempered voice, is the girl a skilamalink

 

look around my city crumbling; I stand with shoulders touching few,

Shake a flannin, it seems too long, head just above water rising

I know for sure twas upbringing, brethren huddled thus creating

I cry aloud and wake, the girl I love has become unabridged

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

In a fained attempt at creating a neo-classical adaptation of what Valentine’s Day means to me, I offer up this soliloquy written in prose, for the audience to decipher. 

From once it came, till now it is, remember the martyrdom honored by the catholic church that entrenched this now lighthearted holiday  started when Emperor Claudius II executed two men both maned Valentine on two separate years in the 3rd century.
