Quote The Maven

Have you ever-tripped on the word of if?
It’s a little black word that chirps like a bird
It comes through as miff and ends in a riff
That changes to curd the shift of what’s heard.

The major plead is one of ignorance
The only defense is the plead of forgive
It’s a seed that grows like a weed of nuisance
An abrasion to the mind as long as we live

In humans, memories are long in the tooth
The if, can be quoted, in any time slot
It sleuths in our minds, as a doubt of truth.
No matter the rot, weather true or not.

It’s something I really never could see
The sever of rue and clever of coup
It’s prime to our make up and ever to be.
It’s never a thing, but a life’s time in view.

So often we curl into privacies themes
And build us those worlds of fantasies dreams.

Beautiful wording for what we all do so often!

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...

JM,
You are always the warmest of warm
And your praise brakes like a storm.
For that I will send you stage two
Tomorrow, in our passions review.
