Anyone who loves
Beware of a sinking heart.
Cold hearts
Dance on a golden charm.
Embracing the icy spoils of
Forgiveness, like the halting piercing.
Gaining a hold of your
Heart when a lover's tiff
Instantly goes wrong and
Journeys to a time when the
King led his son into a ripple of
Love, beguiling true love
Mastering a knight of
Necessary plight
Of romantic kisses
Ploughing its way onto a
Quiet fair maiden's
Rippling red lips and
Subtle quenching upon her cheeks
Torn sweetness
Under her skin
Vivid as the brightness of the sun.
Xylophone charms like it was
Yesterday one more time,
Zizzling upward like a hot rhyme.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
