Rondel

You did everything I asked of you and more
I don't know how things changed so soon
Everyday I thanked God for my blissful boon
And for the snug, safe feeling in my core

Now I regret treating you so poor
My wish that I was wiser extends to the moon
You did everything I asked of you and more
I don't know how things changed so soon

You think the solution is to even out the score
But to you my heart is forever attune
And your actions now leave my heart strewn
The question lies whether to inquire or ignore
You did everything I asked of you and more

Found Poem

It was the first time I'd seen her under the luminous moon,
She stood out like a flash of fuscia in a room of black,
I know she saw me
I could hear her heartbeat race from here,
If only that Royal Copenhagen noticed these things
There would be no contradiction,
Then she would never have let me experience her essence,
But she did, so I spilled my dreams of taking her to Coolwater, Aspen and Fujyama
Only to learn that her intentions were otherwise,
We were just friends, and one day she would visit the Chapel of Love with that Hugo Boss
Then would she realize his heart is of diesel fuel and
She Would Have Been Better Off With Me.
