Lady Fair

The lady, fair.

~

Should allow each man, a leave to look
to experience first hand, and by the book

why it is
that they should care;

sweet love's lady, fair.

~

Does try to stimulate the mind, and heart,
born within, passion and intellect start

and when taken to extremes,
one must beware;

audacity's lady, fair.

~

Her nuances trickle on through time,
but, vision is obscured with gravity's grime,

yet her coercive nudgings
spend like something rare;

my only lady, fair.

~

She cannot guarantee safe passage home,
it'd be easier to predict the ocean's foam,

or ignore
the summer's right to celebrate glare;

cruel lady, fair.

~

Upon a steed she journeys through the night,
taking hostages, and casualties just isn't right

and, much the same as hope
the fabrics tear;

blind lady, fair.

~

The reason for her antics isn't clear
there's a dirt nap, for those who chose to fear,

so brave the night away,
if you dare;

fate's lady, fair.

Like a song
