Q.R.V.

As for a lover, I’ve chosen other

And broke love’s own decree

But when I pause, there’s still a clause

Rights go to Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

When Faith is broken, by Fortune’s token,

Love makes no guarantees.

He walks the line, says it’s all fine,

And swears by Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

One must beware, ’tis contrary air,

The vane spins with uncertainty

In the foreword to Spring, these heavy winds sting,

With the Ides of Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

 

In holding back, he had a knack

And took a tack with me

Oh the allure, of a love saboteur

Sailing straight for Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

Oh, I would scale back to the start

Of our failed recipe

I’d crack an egg and break my heart

And serve with Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

At the end of the day, should your whimsy foray

To a place of indignity

You may step in direction of rousing affection

But it’s only Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

When forever amends and promises bend

Principium et finis

We can take what’s been severed and put new parts together

With epoxy Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

Pink sky at dawn, we’ve sailed past the calm

There’s been a change of sea

Batten the hatches and lock all the latches

We’re in for Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

If I could, I think I should

Come haunt you in your dreams

A ghastly fright, Melinoe’s delight

To sleep with Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

A finger of this, a dram of that

A splash of jubilee

We’ll inoculate sorrows and curtail tomorrows

When we mix Q.R.V.
