Analysis of Subtle Reminders
Subtle reminders float me on a cloud.
It may be the strut of you or maybe something proud.
Subtle reminders band me in a frame.
It may be the peace of you or maybe something tame.
Subtle reminders cause in me a feud.
It may be the form of you or maybe something nude.
Subtle reminders stir for me a lust.
It may be the truth of you or maybe something just.
Subtle reminders still me to a flow.
It may be the calm of you or maybe something slow.
Subtle reminders push me in the fire.
It may be the ghost of you or maybe something dire.
Subtle reminders knock me on the floor.
It may be the scent of you or maybe something more.
