From the desk of the poet who needs to shower and write her english paper,

Poetry is not love
And love, not poetry
Be not won by words that flow
Like nectar to hummingbird
Many poets lie to lie
So be not won by words
Be not won by glances
Those, you cannot prove
Be not won by song
Though it may cling like honey to the ear
Be not won by good intensions
Those are but brightly colored chalk on sidewalk
Washed away by mists of moisture
Be won instead by the contents of your own heart
False heart cannot prove false to itself
Therefore, your heart will remain true to your own questioning
And, by chance yours align with another
Do what you will
Proclaim, hasten breath
Or whatever your false heart's desire
For hearts are not false in moment passing
Only in comet streaks and lightening strikes whereon 'forever' is spoke.
