BECAUSE OF YOU

Pacify my thoughts with good things
Make me want to crave you

Be sure that when I despair
It’s because of you, and only you...

**************************************************

This one is very short but I think it's effective that way. What do you guys think?

It is too easy to be pat with words.

Write what you are happy with and if a light approach is how you like it stay with it.

dave

I would explode the emotion:

Explode my mind with delight
Wrap your soul
Within my fingers
Trap my words with your mouth.

I don't think it's my best poem but I've always been slightly "fond" of it so I don't know. Actually there is a longer version of it that I had published in my school's magazine. (that's not that great of an accomplishment) but I always liked the shortened version. I'll have to find that magazine and post my longer version of this one and see what you guys think.
