Victory & Defeat

              or

Defeat & Victory

I had it all then it slowly slipped away

Leaving me feeling so incomplete

Clenched fists while crying every day

Tears of such embittered defeat

Life is the death of me in pieces

Love in so tender a heart of gold

The sorrow of days only increases

Unbroken unspoken untold

For the ears of many are blocked

Their hearts I cannot even touch

Kind words only leave them shocked

Kind deeds would not mean very much

Romance and sweetness of feminine spirit

Soft lips round hips with soulful angel eyes

People can't fathom nor even come near it

This is how the sweet cream of humanity dies

Yet this heart of hearts will hold to the hope

That there is still a favorable chance

So I tie the knot while holding fast to that rope

In the slightest glimmer of circumstance

That hearts as of old made of gold not tin

Still beat within such sweet manly chest

With courage smarts loving kindness within

Summoning forth only the best of the best

Then hope is still very alive yea very well

The sweetness of romance is still breathing

No sting can sting there's no fiery hell

Flames nor coals nor spirits seething

For as long as love lives in the hearts of heroes

Our great nation defended with their common sweat

Their worth is far above quadrupled zeroes

Forever for always we all live in grateful debt

Conclusion approaches as it is it's natural will

Let me say with a heart that beats true

In the little space of time which my prose did fill

Forever for always I give love and kindness to you
