A Love that Doesn't Budge

I wrote this poem about a favorite Clapton tune of mine called "Old Love". In the future I might share some more of my writing but for now....

The Plug


Assumptions by definition lie unclear,
they tend to grab a hole, even steer
Sometimes senseless is what's right
Hope is real with the goal in sight

Needing a break lifting this load
A locked safe with only one code
Happily ever after, fact or fiction
the inter-turmoil that never loses friction

Like chipped paint on a wall
A skin knee when you fall
Its grips just too tight
Impossible to ignore, harder to fight

A hole in the dike that needs repair
like a crack in the windshield the size of a hair
Slowly but surely it begins to share
the stress and tension of its despair
