Please do not put me in a rhyme
leave me out of your schemata
leave my name and broken
ways for some other tongue
for some other days.
Just write about that which
you know and do not
speculate or pitch dramatic
verse into the space I have left.
I've taken my books from
the dusty shelves and
stepping over your out-stretched legs
I leave the room you've already locked
I steal away from easy rhyme.
Nailed It BK!...also to confuse things a little bringing in the end of love as construct or words and words as schema...I really must try harder to make my efforts more obscure.

This is intriguing Tommy. I'm not sure what you're trying to say...is it all in the last line,
'...steal away from easy rhyme...'
about not being predictable, about being adventurous in your writing?
Tommy, it's terrific. You have the power of 'multum in parvo'. (I looked that up for the purpose ... much in little ...)
i don't get the last line, i must admit but i enjoyed most off this!
Hehe - like it - there's a very slight overlap here with a poem I penned this morning 'Dusty Books'
Best wishes

ta andy to steal away can mean to walk away stealthily or unexpectedly.
