Me, swains myself,
Before any love
Complicates life..
Inamorata! I swain
Myself! Fervored
By equivalencies!
Ah, how droll,
Circumstances.
(I looked up ‘sex’
In my dictionary, my
Word-visual .jpg,
My contact with earth;
Only a few or several
Meanings there. I looked up
Love, in my to my left-sided dictionary,
Be’love’d, and was glad to see
More than twice the definitions,
And, almost as many synonyms!
I didn’t explicitly measure the length,
Except through my thumb and index
Finger.)
Me, probes myself,
Again, before any past
Complicated living.
What a relief, to know,
I scrim myself! Levered
By equanimities!
Ah, how sad,
Circumstances.
(What are we’fe to do?
I’m thinking we need to rearrange
World alphabets into symbols,
Then syllables, then words of
Communication. I can hardly stand
To read opinions, news or listen to
Life constantly dying, or laughing,
It’s not that simple,
Not even pure, there are always
Opposites. I looked up ‘do’, knowing
It would have substance of evaluation,
And it did, but, 'go'
Had so much more…)
I exaggerate myself, again.

Had to look up 'swain': noun, archaic for a country youth, a young lover. Hmmmmmmmmmm. You love yourself, to not allow others to spoil your innocence? 'Scrim': noun, a light, sheer, loosely woven cotten or linen cloth, used as a stage backdrop. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Wanting to hide (stimulate yourself??) in private, but seen by the world?? Tell me if I'm close or way off the mark - complex, thought provoking write, once again - you say so much with so few words - my brain hurts, trying to figure this out! Sorry...well done, in any event, Erin.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
This is a unique composition. "Swained" strikes the soul of the mind to make it work with the inner intelligence.
In admiration,
