Ivy throughout

It isn't quite
Never was,
Never is...
Never will be.
It's no substitute
Even, reserve to will.
Somehow it seems
Less than more,
The same, as it was
Tried untested.
Guiltless, repression
Binded freedoms
Silver stare.
Soiled towards perfection
Mercifully, ruined,
Erected facile.
Fades under, lucidity
Tailor made, distress
Match impaired
Anemic, longing.
Plowed beneath, rot
Nurtured, damp
Leather, strips,
Ivy throughout.
It isn't quite,
Rebirth, never is
Never was never,
Will be.
Rot nurtured,
Damp, leather, strips,
Ivy throughout.
