Romance

Drop by drop
on me it falls
a stone I am
a channel it forms

Man is but man
he feels tall
sweetheart by his side
touches his heart

A wall of confidence
now wags his tail
her words a gospel
he dare not disobey

He wants independence
to live as he wants
the lady after his heart
has become a boss

A man he was
what he became
something went wrong
which blunder he made

A stone with a channel, better it was
over which water flowed gently drop by drop
than a man so blinded in romance
that he is bossed over more than caressed!
