to what pleasures bring
upon this troubled brow
a bit of hope
a pinch of peace
a handful of love to spare?
no, not of love
for love’s not fair
upon this troubled brow
tell not the time
nor of the space
that winsome pleasures held
for not of mine
i shall abide
upon this troubled brow
a bit of hope 
a pinch of peach
a handful of love to spare.
