STIR NOT UP LOVE OUT OF ITS TIME!
(Opinion, based upon Song of Songs 2:7)
Song of Solomon two: seven,
Reminding of the right time for heaven…
Out of context
Is frustrating sex,
Add reason to loaves with leaven.
–
Sing and dance while you’re young,
Older folks, more foolishly done…
Appointed seasons
Make good reasons
Accepting you are also-run!
–
Pressure without outlet
Just how stupid we get…
Romance out of time
Invites inner grime
When we are told, “NYET!”.
–Jonathan Caswell
WHY EVEN MENTION IT?
He saw it happening again,
Desiring more than a friend…
Resisting that pull
To pull the wool
Over his eyes and pretend.
–
At least once a year he goes,
into these attraction throes…
Always one-way
He dare not stay
Too close to a prospective rose.
–
Happens so often he
Knows eventually…
The “old nature”
Legislature
Votes for a juicy affaire!
–
“Resistance is futile,” some say,
But rather just walk away…
Run if you must
From growing lust,
Be true to your beloved night and day.
–Jonathan Caswell

THE OLD GOAT DIDN’T WIN
The old goat did not win,
He wanted to see someone slim…
With sex appeal–
It didn’t congeal–
Both girls just ignored him!
–
He then apologized
When stony silence advised…
They wouldn’t come through
Nor offer him view
Of either set of lovely eyes.
–
He placated with poetry,
It was little else if not free…
No answer given
Denied heaven
Or whom he was hoping to see!
–
(At least in my universe,
I contacted an old friend nurse…
Who did reply
With a passed-along “HI”
But the above’s disappointment was worse!)
–Jonathan Caswell
