Understanding

Understanding is the step the key that's wrought the joke that's left and lingers on the shadows dart the shadows settle fall apart the shadows grow inside my heart Reprimanding 's what I do again to dream, to think of you and all I say and all I've wrought and all I do is all I've got Illusion, hoping to be real unfettered now and streaming downwards zeal unleashed and trodden frowning love is not; the love has bound me Confusion marks the time of day And Mark can always slip away and slip into a daydream's powder chowing down on eyes and chowder slipping off the gown Intimidation and remorseful and, oddly, happiness resourcefully, I gathered shards of you and found I needed naught of glue no matter my intent to do again, I need, I die, of you Mark Burton July 19th, 2006, 2:11 A.M.
