No Scruple

Wading through time itself
breezing by
like leaves rustling
on an autumn tree
with nowhere to fall
but down.

All lesser plights
pale into insignificance
instinctive and spontaneous
is love renewed.

Distantly critical
of myself
i shed the bond
of concern
like an unwelcome thought.

Unwholesome influence
although appalling
was conceived
with imperfect knowledge
and has led to my resolve.

Therefore,
I take pleasure herewith
and consider a great favor
of kind advice
with the benefit of experience
as my reflection
occurs to me
for i have no scruple in
claiming
your love.
