I now have a new lease on life
I feel invincible
my soul is full
and fully intact
that vital piece that was missing
walks with me now
its been sewn so sweetly
to my once raw side
knowing that you breath and love me
keeps my little boat from toppling
off its course
I wish I could feel such wind in my face
and touch the sails that you've stitched up
the poles of my life
so to help better guide me
I am but a branch that was long ago broken
from you
my sturdy tree
the roots that steady your growth
shall anchor only further
in me
to steady my own as well
my soul at last has a home here on earth
temporary though as it is
its such a glorious feeling
this love I have for you adds to me
it doesn't take away
like others who have gone before
other than with God himself
my soul belongs
almost near so fully
with yours
God has answered
my millionth plus prayer
to him
of that please reveal him to me
this one that I have so longed for
even if you never choose to let me
in your life
other than through the mail
still I feel my prayer was answered
I just wanted someone I could love so deeply
who would not reject me
I can not imagine not feeling about you
this way anymore
you give me such a tremendous feeling
that I'm fine just as I am
and that feels like so good
you are this poet's most poignant muse
unlike all those other conniving, foolish and ultra
selfish women you've known
I will never forsake you or this love you've so
generously given to me
as my heart beat was but a lost drum
out looking for a rhythm just like yours
you are the sketch that drew this artist
not the usual other way around
and to think you wonder why I love you
so very much
change poor, poor man to silly putty man
how could I not love you
you tell me that my soul it would seem
got the better of me
and decided to have its say.................................
