Could you fathom the depth of my love
The ebb and flow
The softest glow
That palpitates in veins
Would you dare to make a trade
The priceless warmth
Passing the torch
Brings substance to your name
A precious spice
A shameless vice
Were you stung
When it dropped on your tongue
Transact advice
Play it nice
A song to be sung
Like air in your lungs
Don't stir the pot
So you get what you want
Everything in this life
Is a transaction or a fight
Don't speak too loud
Don't be too proud
The best you can do
Is a transaction to pay your dues
Could you fathom that none of my love
Is currency
Or pageantry
But, a gift that is earned
Would you dare to play your ace
And give me your truth
Ugly, and raw
Corrupted, yet chaste
A half a kiss
That you nearly missed
Were you stung
When it landed on your tongue
Transact your love
For a push or a shove
Now, you fit like a glove
But, no air in your lungs
Don't stir the pot
So you get what you want
Everything in this life
Is a transaction or a fight
Don't speak too loud
Don't be too proud
The best you can do
Is a transaction to pay your dues
