The social, the romantic, the dreamer political,

Passions internal, refused, formidable.

Chemistry found in the shell of each,

Denied, consigned, betrothed, conceived.

Rejection twice fearing, perception rethought

Intrusion most hopeful if not distraught,

Thief turn beggar, tongue of devotion,

To emote, to savour heart's locomotion.

But certainly eyes to pierce a breast

Outward carapace which softly rests

And dreams of breath of a relative breast

To purr sweet bellows beside love's professed.
