Invulnerable

Invulnerable

Love has tried to pierce my armor,
I’ve resisted every female charmer.
Love has tried to strike my shield,
I’ve refused to drop arms I wield.
Love has failed to pierce my skin,
I’ve refused to let woman’s love in.

I’ve repulsed Cupid’s arrow’s aim,
Love has yet to stake a claim.
I’ve rebuked all words l’amour,
Love has not filled me more.
I’ve repelled romantic notions,
Love has not served me love potions.

Love has tried to open wide,
Thick and callused heart I hide.
Love has tried to find my heart,
Hidden deep inside my deepest part.
Love has yet to burst the bubble;
I’ve encased myself from love’s trouble.

I’ve escaped the painful fate,
Love’s not reached my inner state.
I’ve achieved the foolish feat,
Love has left me incomplete.
I’ve forgotten love’s majestic feel,
Love has made my heart like steel.

again

again if i could walk those golden streets again and sing those glad olden songs so sweet again if i could feel those pounding jungle beats again and touch those rumbling thronging beasts again if i could dance those daring double steps again and twirl the girls 'round their swinging hips again if I could swim those clear summer lakes again and float lazily where the cool current takes again if i could sit in playful grade-school seats again and draw where pencil and yellow paper meets again if i could run the asphalt baseball fields again and slap the rubber balls off car windshields again if i could fold daily newspaper sheets again in pre-dawn drowsiness on city streets again if i could gaily play in hot summer rains again and watch the water run into sewer-drains again if i could tackle tough and rumble players again and run through football teams like a laser again if i could frolic in frigid cold and icy snow again and not fear near fro...
