The Rhyme And The Reason

you rhyme
it is nice to hear that
you're sweet
and people love to hear that too
you're reason itself
arriving at conclusions
based on solid
premises

but my dear
you are human too
despite the reasons
you choose not to rhyme
sometimes
you choose to bleed
and even choose to die
and people with reason
knows how is it not
to rhyme sometimes

when a loved one dies
when a beloved
betrays you
when fortunes are taken
at the wink of
the eye
