much has life been waylaid subordinate to love



much has life been waylaid 
subordinate to love
yet whose lament regrets
having no significant shove
wonders he of the sights 
along the road not taken
future better seen 
in the palms of your hands shaken

nuance and notes
that make old wine fantastic

care not of bottle labels
snazzy bombastic
new is every sip 
fermented in the heart
missed vineyards 
reachable when lovers take part 

snoop around, march around 
make an awful fuss
when unsure backtracks leave
love scent in the rust
moving forward 
hands can be in hands found
pissed away starvation
follows those who get around

do your dearest, dearest
lovely in the mood
life led astray
missing bones for good
tenderize me with your kisses 
near my whispered ear
gone today along the way 
that egos rightly fear

forward looking backward
plans we met that night
left others blind in dusty roads 
missed us out of sight
when scoundrel made 
you strayed fighting for your life
spit tonic sewer water
sacrificial wife

no road left we cannot walk
together every day
lead us be where we are going
must be on our way
fly fly velvet butterfly 
make our lullaby
compensate us for the loss
that saved us from the lie
