Love<br />
I Can't Imagine Why<br />
Rick Ellis<br />
Love is the child<br />
Of delicate wants<br />
Passive in passion<br />
She uncertain, flaunts<br />
Seductive, alluring<br />
She tempts as she taunts<br />
A masterful mistress<br />
A framework that haunts<br />
You hurt me in spite of<br />
The love that I gave<br />
And I can't imagine why<br />
Misguided priorities<br />
Lighted my way<br />
False-colored signposts<br />
The promise of day<br />
The dream came up empty<br />
The sky ashen gray<br />
No flowers can grow<br />
In the heat of the fray<br />
You left me in spite of<br />
The hours that I prayed<br />
So I can't imagine why<br />
What did you learn<br />
In the fields on your walks<br />
Tie not the hands back<br />
Keep winding the clocks<br />
No end of the rainbow<br />
No ship at the docks<br />
Stop looking for diamonds<br />
In a landscape of rocks<br />
You're happy in spite of<br />
The plans that we made<br />
But I can't imagine why<br />
Heartstrings are highways<br />
The road of the knave<br />
From the end of the hallway<br />
To the foot of the grave<br />
Who'll sit beside me<br />
And share in my laugh<br />
Ponder these musings<br />
Or my epitaph <br />
