CARE TO BREAK NOT

In this moment
Where you live so succulent
Eyes are forcing hands to hide their rings
Hearts are forcing heads to pull their strings
Love is parcelling lust to race your have
But know
…pulling yourself together is best
…so as not to pull another asunder

II
Everyone is greedy to have a love to cherish
Everyone is needy to own a loving journey with a flourish
Every soul yearns for a success
Hoping for climbs of progress
Still know, none must crash a heart
In their bid to hold your hand

III
For you made the vow
And you’ve lived its wow
You’ve swerved many a cow
And you’ve stood through a bow
But tears of an innocent
Leaves tongues of even shameless gods without a shared comment
So live
Please live
Do live
Jumping thorns in a loving pick
For small blood will call vampires of misfortunes
Which will burst bile in the happiness you’ve found
…through the butchering of many a sadness
So care and break not an innocent heart
…in building yours
