Analysis of Love's Prior
Vile heart of cancerous deception
Kissing in the morrow sun
Burning before open gods
Kids past prime forgotten of fun
Chalk crusted withheld ground
Upon the absorption of sound
Covers a belligerent cloud
Shadows day walk
Rustling in the dark
Through the narrow corner
With the arms of love
Contained to pray
Fretted for one last say
Passing through affection
Whom shines shafts of Aphrodite
