His Love

Posted on March 15, 2011 | 11 Comments

We flutter on the fringes
Large doors swing on small hinges
Not loving them impinges
As do hugs squirming twinges

One drink for drunken binges
Dead lives spike syringes
Catch clap from wayward minges
God for His love life cringes

It is tight and words unsaid are stated as well.
Ah life – the Lover never gives up does He?

I find it difficult to rhyme four lines in a row and keep it interesting; you do so through subject matter, especially in the second stanza. Nice work.
