••••••••• ••••••••
Who is to say, we have it right at every junction?
A complement , an oft thrown wise gibe laid.
Oft times meanings are lost in straight translation.
~
Word for word a language layered with verbatim.
Treading upon sore toes we both are so afraid.
Who is to say, we have it right at every junction ?
~
With two and two oft making five in thy addition.
We are open to inspection as two Poets on parade.
Oft times meanings are lost in straight translation.
~
No substituted eye contact during one to one dictation.
Bedazzled by the sunlight as I bask within thy shade
Who is to say, we have it right at every junction ?
~
Hearts can be broken , as add becomes subtraction.
Daggers thrusting deeper with each mistake that`s made.
Oft times meanings are lost in straight translation.
~
Climb above this with me to a higher self transition.
We speak the language of Love and this is no charade.
Who is to say , we have it right at every junction ?
Oft times meanings are lost in straight translation.
