I'm tempting to tell you again./ I'm trying to hold my words/ but there aren't sharp on my swords./ I can tell you what I love of you,/ but I like the unnamed./ I won't kiss any saint. So many noise, clams, claims,/ horse, roar, rhymes./ I just want the wind on my face./ To hum, to purr, to amaze./ Don't let me think, praise./ I won't kiss any saint. I don't know how but I paint,/ a color here, a line there./ I'm lazy, dreamy, my pen staint./ I stare, I listen, I fail./ I mix lemon with honey, hon./ But I won't kiss any saint. What else can I say?/ too much "I" s in vain./ Too many bubbles, babbles. / I'd like to see you without explain./ To swoon, delete and faint./ But I won't kiss any saint.
