On My Mind

I got love on the brain.

I don't know if I can maintain

This solitary pain

Always searching

Roaming in the rain

I'm feeling rather plain

Wearing battles like stains.

This whole thing is a total drain.

But here I stand, with love on the brain.



So addicted like cocaine

I want it coursing through my veins

I need it to sustain

I'm simply going insane

Dreaming of one main thing to gain.



Gotta get love

To support this strength I must regain

To someone I must pertain.



(As I pour out my heart, I wonder if I'm to blame.

Imperfections being my greatest fame.

Often dumbfounded by being named just another dame. I know it's lame but I want my barbarian pulling on my mane hoisting me over shoulders as we scream out each others names.  Now, how can that be lame when a union was just made?)



As I seek out the perfect match, someone thinks the same.

I'm trying not to be vain

But, I'm off the chain

And deserves what love contains.



I feel like I keep on falling off the train

Driving over tough terrain

And it seems that alone I will remain



I'll continue to explain

I've got love on my brain

All around it has a superior reign

For me it seems to evade.

Ducking and Dodging

Switching lanes.



Anniversaries toasted with champagne

Strolling down the champs d'lase are common cliques

But how I wish they were mine to claim



Love is on my brain

These words I've refrained

But the tracks have been laid

So soon it will be obtained.

It's hard to believe that many words can rhyme and the poem still makes sense! Kudos!
