Never Always Sometimes

Never, always, sometimes, have I scorned your love so 
Dear, sometimes, always, never, I caused you brackish tear

When glow’s pale moon-bow’s crescent, upon the altar rocks, 
We rest by surging water, where grayling’s gadfly hops

And never, always, sometimes, have you held my beating heart,
In hands that crafted future, love-born from river’s lark 

But now the failing sunset, bids bye to never-years, while sometimes 
Through our always, a slipping tongue quick sears; 

And should the morn bring cloud and rain, where sunshine spars
With rooks, my jail dear lies within you, while I the eager crooks
