been raving for so many years
and shall be mad for many more to come

crazy is what i am, my dear friend of misery
crazy is what shall become of me

sometimes,
the sun goes down
and the canvas turns crimson
sometimes,
there is a fire
in the skies above burning
so bright, fuming furiously

and in those sometimes,
i think it is okay to be crazy
i think it is okay to be me

oh! to be me is an idea
so outcast,
and i am overturned,
like a box of nonsensical whims
and i’m spinning
like a top caught
in an endless tailspin

i think it is okay to be crazy
i think it is okay to be me

and between the great fire
and the much-photographed solitude
of a crimson-tipped evening,
i am caught in a state of self-denial
forcing a silly smile, thinking
it is after all great to be me

and when all the nuts
and their bolts are in place
all i shall ask you is
are you ready,
ready for me?

Crazy like a fox ..
and Yeah..were ready...give us all your crazy
Clever use of imagery here Sud...and inner reflection.
Ponder on poet sir...we love your crazy LOL

Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
