"Costs Outweigh Benefits" ~ 2015.1.13

As we fall down the scale into the cold
Love evolves sevenfold to envelope
The stars, constellations we invented
To sail by ancient light, the sheets unfold

Raveled or unraveled, the fact remains
Costs outweigh benefits, the lovers elope
Away from family, friends resented 
The idea, not to share or celebrate

Celibate priest, the Pope demands, retains
The right, by ancient rite, a provision
To envision the past as comedy

A cosmic joke can only liberate
A flock from a shepherd, a revision 
In practice delivers a tragedy
