Do Not Abbreviate

Do Not Abbreviate


 Do not abbreviate your love for me 'cause you are tired
 Let it develop enduring root in your hatred,
 Do not sieve my affection, it is only just
 Let it overwhelm you with a deluge of disgust,

 Hungrily, you embezzled my love for you
 But i truly relish your physical relief,
 Like the Mediterranean, the tide swallowed
 And lapped off the luscious cliff,
 Transformed the Gibralter into a cave hollowed
 And like the storm, eroded soaring blue peaks
 And plateau to weathered Grand Canyon,

 I have embraced the beloved with holy kisses
 And the throaty phlegm keep recurring in excess,
 O! Father, bless me and let there be,
 Always a lot of eye-sights,
 For you have anointed me the apostle of feminine access,
 Therefore i will continue to recite
 The catechisms of several beloved faces.

 Do not abbreviate your love for me 'cause you are tired
 Let it develop enduring root in your hatred,
 Do not sieve my affection, it is only just
 Let it overwhelm you with a deluge of disgust,
