My soul, like a beggar
feasts on the futility of likeness

falling like rain
singing like a bird
crying like a baby
hoping like an orphan
loving like a parent
cursing like demons

Summed and totaled
to be less than the pain
that feels like dying
for your touch.

I like your likes, Robert...
I even like the fact
that you understand
what has to be...

Thank you, Sir...

It was your title that drew me in...
Only to find every word was both
intense and passionate.

I like that in a poem!

Great verse!  And the title is perfect.  Really like this Robert.  Your style is among my favorites here.
