💗               “love on the black market”               💗

➛

twenty 10

and until no end

put the pure

on the market

black!!!

➛

for rare to be seen

in the light

few even believing

I mean, with actions done

for eyes to the soul

to be seeing

and the elated one sung

➛

it’s not for sale

not this Love

but gone underground

it’s seen too much blood

➛

spills pooled

from puddles to lakes filled

when streamed from innocence

because none dared to heed cries

while tears of disbelief

drowned tries

➛

then comes the whys

how did this happen

so says the passers bys

barely did they open their eyes

until too, …they flooded

tears to the place of humanity

➛

too late

for too many, yes

now exposed

following our best

today’s society

choosing to follow

the recondite

➛

with open minds

that love be ascertained

No longer strained

by difficulties to understand

that which for decades

was lost in the sand

the pure piled in the dirt

➛

the reality

mixed up in the flirt

short skirts

& tight shirts

after  burning

Love’s true desserts

➛

honesty

caring

Nurturing

& daring

to say so

➛

about wrong or gold

when if no speech

who suffers a blow

burnt to death row

➛

so shop for real

U must

and if U are

unable to find

that which will

prevent all

from being blind

➛

U will find
