Twisted

Water ripples Love twists As the thorns in a bush Like the crawls of yam tuber Rising above the horizons Accidentally it falls In surprise, the people scream, "What caused this downfall?" But that's a question for a third party The Stem danced and giggled Laughing at the stupidity of man Knowing it fell as a result of ignorance Its pride will be no more And so will the Pride of Love Love calls and persuades Training its root for the crusade Knowing there will be no decade Its parade will fade But its followers will see a raid Like the stampede of running deers Love calls and fails Two young steers being mesmerized By its calling; But was failed by it; When their union draws close to the curtain of nights And dispenses into thin air Like it never existed Life and its dealings are twisted As much as the tortured remnants Of a smoked bird.
