Bent Words

September 18, 2004

I remember the picture as though it swept my eyes just yesterday

The resemblence, striking, of a love not thrown away

Kneeling to the soft and verdant ground, pleading lost notions of you

My mind failed all yeild remembering Violets Are Blue

Taken over, shaking, as I perceive this moment of me

Not even the beauty, the touch of nature can call my soul to see

Lacking the presence of time, forsaking the ideals I've sought

Ambitions weary, the knot within my throat grown taught

Quitting my failure, finding strength in what I must now do

Still, I wonder, how will I conquer over evil, when these Violets Are (so) Blue?
