Verse: Conditions

(NB: No rhymes!)

There are some truths
that you should know
by now

Night is not
a new day

Summer is not
a century

And time?
It feeds us
to ourselves

But these conditions
are temporary
only love is persistent

It fills my lungs
with immutable words
with popular songs

And joy
insatiable
indomitable
joy

    Favorite line: And time? It feeds us to ourselves. (Profound)

  2. This is one of the most absorbing pieces i've read for a while. It cheers me, as sometimes I struggle with the constraints of rhymes, although i enjoy them.
    I unashamedly love that thing that is love.
    Without it we do not live, we exist.

    Thankyou
