Verses written win all hearts bar hers
\nShe is a slave to life, passion and chance:
\nI am a walker of safe paths, writer of verses of adventure
\nShall have to cast aside the pen to live this romance
\nShould I in a time to come of her love have cause to write
\nAs returned as opposed to as heretofor unrequited
\nI, who seek to gatecrash the party of her life
\nPoet, fool, dreamer, uninvited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
