Sugarcane

Far has your heart gone
To know the sweetness of loves hurt

 

The hardy cane somehow
Did manage the sweetness of sugar

 

But this hardness will yield its
Sweetness only in brutal crush

 

Though I have no stomach
To brutalize my beloved you

 

If your hard shell will not let your
Sweetness ooze
I will have no qualms to set you to
The noose
To make you sweet
As sweetness ever was

Love & Grace
