Dark Valued Alliances...Or Tarnishing Friendships

Emotions can be like quicksand
Stuck ere the entrance
Purpose before understanding
Friends a mere pretense

All attachment no matter who
Hang in the balance
Left standing ever are but few
And called the blameless

bonds or chains to any idea
Value from the start
A passing glace that's so unclear
Boats and reefs, when part

Tied up in yes, afraid of no
Bends wills southerly
Big I's and little U's for show
So UN-neighborly

The link is pure gold in raw form
Black and without boast
Pity the faces wearing frowns
Like seeing a ghost

The unions with the unlovely
Tarnish with short time
A smile might last a mile barely
Smile or tongues none tame

Your association tells best
Who you are and why
Alliances may be dark caste
Gold makes a sure buy
