What It Is

music-suit-1

That is what it is;
I am no single guy –
if I were there’d be no
remonstrations, no
needless rotten eggs
of vapid accusation

The Cognoscenti
understand I am a
just un-married man
with a bride’s other
druthers undenied
entirely sacrosanct

If sanity is sanctuary
compounding concrete states
of nuptial singleness – we’re
married yet we ain’t, although
for sure the reins as such
remain in place

  1. If only all men had consciences
    no compassion showed until the end.
    Its lonely when you talk and they don't answer
    The cats meow for its food is better than silence
    at least its a reply to the sentence given.
    No passion for many a year.
    Just the skivvy and cook becomes a bore.
    Just a short life left to live. so there's the door
