I wasted my nights writing constantly,
till there was no lead in the pencil,
while the heat from the lamp on the nightstand
drove me senseless.

I imagined myself in a large auditorium,
in front of a single person.
Plaster fell from the walls of the corridors
when I started reading my verses.

I wanted to make her love me,
(as if she hadn’t loved me otherwise)
to make sure that she wasn’t bluffing
with her bottomless loving eyes.

I wanted to make her yield to me,
and force her to profess her love for me,
as if she refused to give it up willingly,
so I had to perform a robbery.

I wanted to overtake her with lightning
and thunder, giving her everything in me.
So I wasted my nights writing;
I didn’t know how to love her simply.

Why is it we seem to always want to complicate things? Great thoughts here, well written

Trying too hard is our first mistake...
Love, like all things will be,  if indeed
it is meant to be.  I have lost way too
much sleep worrying about things that I have no control over.

A wonderful poem Master~

One woman's simple
is another woman's poet...

and a poet, I'm afraid
is never simple.

I always give a lot.  Sometimes a bit much, but I love her very much as I know you love yours so I give all I have to give.

This write intrigues me. Did she love you back? Chris
