Do Not Despair

Do not despair if love is naught
It will arrive with timing right
and then you will be surely caught

Continue whining, you must not
your days are wasted if you're tright
Do not despair if love is naught

Things hide away the more they're sought
Behave as if  a delightful sprite
and then you will be surely caught

I know this isn't how you thought
you've made sadness your only plight
Do not despair that love is naught

Heed this advice to you I've brought
negative illusions you must fight
and then you will be surely caught

Have you listened to what I've taught?
To be charming and forever bright?
Do not despair that love is naught
and then you will be surely caught

Stacte, sweet spice for writing be

My stimulus for sharing thought

My muse I share with those who see

Making incense of my words is key

So many themes, no stopper's knot

Stacte, sweet spice for writing be

Words to drink like fine chablis

and some with love and danger frought

My muse I share with those who see

I make no promise but yet may plea

for other creations I have wrought

Stacte, sweet spice for writing be

Not all who visit will agree

with each message you have brought

My muse I share with those who see

So then this blog is now set free

and thus, my stewing pepper pot,

Stacte, sweet spice for writing be

My muse I share with those who see

Stacte, the sweet spice

awakens my latent muse

infusing Haiku
