RAPID CYCLING POEMS

YOU SET MY SOUL FREE

YOU SET MY SOUL FREE

How precious is the gentle smile that lights up your loving face?

Your manners are impeccable and full of warmth and grace

How big the tender beating heart that has space for wretched me

Allowing me to come within and setting my lost soul free

Your life was easy going, you had the choice to stay or roam 

You sacrificed it all for me, your lifestyle and your home

I know that it’s been hard at times, sometimes very tough 

But we got through, and stayed afloat, and survived it well enough

The odds were stacked against us, and by some we were dismissed

But our fate was signed and sealed from our very first brief kiss

Then there came a passion beyond all sanity and sense

And the consequences proved to be catastrophic and immense

But still we are together, despite all of our cares and woes

Why fate threw us together, only God and nature knows

But you are in my blood, my mind, I’m addicted to your presence

And you take all the good and bad, with a quiet, solid acceptance

You’ve proved that you will stand by me, no matter what I do

And by doing so you’ve shown the world that your love for me is true

I’m humbled by your faith in me, it is so blatantly underserved

Especially when I throw it back, and act like a complete jerk!

It’s hard to take this love from you, when I feel so dark inside

And you must feel rejected when I play at Jekyll and Hyde

But really all I want to say is thanks for your commitment and love

You pulled me back up from the dark so that we could blossom in the sunlight above.
