Near to you,
I lost something,
Your eyes reflect differently,
And you, nothing familiar,
Not the same as a days ago,

Near to you,
I realized something,
No scent to spark memories,
No goals, to share and move on,
Just the same as days ago,

I just missed it,

Potholes in my lawn

DOVE:
Everybody’s sayin’
What to do when suckin’ lunatics start diggin’ and chewin’
They don’t know that the Soul don’t go for that
Potholes in my lawn
And that goes for my rhyme sheet
Which I concentrated so hard on, see
I don’t ask for maximum security
But my dwellin’ is swellin’
It nipped my bud when I happened to fall
Into a spot
Where no ink or an ink-blot
Was on a scroll
I just wrote me a new ‘mot’
But now it’s gone
There’s no
Suckers knew that I hate
To recognise that every time I’m writin’
It’s gone
