Running along in trickled lines
Blinding my vision and caressing my nose
It bears the taste of the sea but not the accompanying freedom
I see in blurred visions but my defeat couldn't be clearer
Though colourless, it bears the ingredients of my blood and bone
Though odour less, I can still perceive the stench of hard work

I have been running haphazardly
Chasing the object of my affection alongside my comrades against the demons of hell
They fight for her body in order to caress her and take her on the run.
They want to bring her to my home and romance her in my face
I can't let her be taken even though I know I can't hold on for too long.
For even though she may love my touch, she is never satisfied by one

Today I've spent so little time with her
I've been the jealous lover but she seems to want to play the whore
I've had her for only a little while but my adversaries have gone ahead to see her nakedness
They have seen in minutes most of the mysteries I have spent my life trying to unravel
Despite the decrease in their interest, they still won't let go just to spite me

Maybe I haven't been the best of lovers
I've certainly not been the most generous
For I recall she asked for all my time and I gave her but a few.
Today is probably a pay back and now I know my failure
Our relationship may not be the most legal but we romance here in the court
We may not always be together but like her shape, my heart will revolve around
I will share the joy of her companionship
When next I face my demons right here, I won't just be an opponent
I'll be judge, jury and I'll put my ring on it.
