every time you walk into a room my heart starts
to race
tell me why when I am around you
I always feel like an angel with a dirty face
a mere child playing house
dress-up and or make believe
the termination of a strong bonding emotion
shows no reprieve
these thoughts of you and me I would be better
off to divorce
why do I always know ahead of time the outcome
of this emotional collision course
the passionate hue of your hypnotic blue gaze
has many a time before caused my blood pressure
to boil and raise
and had me staring off into space
not knowing what dream or fantasy next to chase
I wish to be your love but not at the cost of
crimping your style
the many beautiful women you date I could never
rival
I love you, Stupid!
no one for me need ever to play cupid
you are my inspiration for the written poetic word
and that is a grand thing to have
it's a soothing balm for the heart
equivalent to the soul full of the sweet Jesus' own
serenic salve
you are my dapper dapper agent to debonair
there's that certain sasse' about you that one
finds so very rare
I ask the' to forgive me if this poem has fallen
into the pit of the tired and the trite
with my numbed and not so alert mind I must now
fight
the ultimate rejection is almost complete in its
utter perfection
if I am indubitably wrong
strike these words and make the necessary
correction
I have never claimed to be Einstein or Bach
but my intellect is guilty in its partnership
to my current emotional block
simplicity is the key
when placed in the right setting
but don't think that this cat
out of this back I am letting........
