I want to capture this moment in time forever perfectly
The day I fell in love with you, written word

Enthusing about mondegreens and gadzookery
Flaunting and revelling in my vocabulary

Every syllable tumbles down like notes in a love song
That my brain can’t help humming to

Addicted to using alliteration and allusions
The soothing sound of softly said similes

Hidden depths and layers of mysterious meaning
Your complexity and simplicity blows my mind

Filled with power and wisdom
Spoken with conviction by the right person to change the world

Laced with beauty and truth
Your message interpreted differently by everyone

You are foolishness too
Uttered by fools and the righteous twisted into ugliness for their own ends
