A Game to Pass the Time
There is a game to play
And a time to stay ignorant of it
Because just this once
I think I had a piece of something simple
When really all I had was principle.
I was over the crowd and moon
Soliciting myself as proper
Though you stood firm to my barrage
Of late night seduction
Where I took ad space out
Inside of your sex
Due to the heavy traffic.
A fist full of facts couldn't save you
Even if you rolled in Jimmy Hoffa
Inside a drum of liquid formaldehyde
It wouldn't buy you a stick
To poke yourself off a cliff with
But my finger has always stood sturdy direction.
Perhaps we'll play this game
Of two minds melting in a cooker
On slow roast
Until we slow toast
To each other's double demise.
I've half the mind to kill
And the other to surprise
All those who fingered me as
The predestined fall guy.
Perhaps this game is rigged
From the teeth to your charming eyes
Down to your sweet sixteen
Knee inducing tremors
I remember quite well.
On the ferry boat we sing
A sailor's name sake
Of love lost on rocks
Or gored by cannonballs
In celebration of the hearts we sank.
This game has many faces and curves
But than again
So do you
U Rock
a love poem right?
