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
