Analysis of A Lover To Discover
There's a lover to discover, to advance, to enhance;
to influence by pursuance, to entrance, to romance.
There's a rebel to dishevel, to delay, to repay;
to condition by perdition, to betray, to dismay.
There's a merit to inherit, to access, to possess;
to unshackle by debacle, to address, to impress.
There's a stranger to endanger, to depose, to expose;
to jeopardize by compromise, to disclose, to oppose.
There's a swivet to inhibit, to unlace, to erase;
to bamboozle by refusal, to deface, to replace.
There's a comate to reinstate, to explore, to adore;
to galvanize by enterprise, to implore, to restore.
There's a rumpus to encompass, to appraise, to emblaze;
to commission by petition, to upraise, to amaze.
