I Don'T Want To Rhyme Anymore

First, I tried to rhyme with your spirits... For I really thought I saw in it our own beginning, without end and my heart accented to love I gave my very best and you surely know that ‘twas 100% rhyme Yet after years of enjoying my soul marinated in your wants and wishes I noticed your words, drifting like heavy rain that my big palms barely hold them Have you ever considered my being? That this morning, after a shower rinsed the great pain I kept in my breath, I opted to walk the sun-lit corridor of free verse, where I can be me just as what I always wanted to be... Without engaging my dignity in too much psychedelic wars

Well I loved it a month ago and its still great ... smile ... you haven't been around for awhile ... hope you don't mean the title literally!! I'm having a hard time keeping up with all the newbies at PoetrySoup!! Thought I'd come and hollar at those who have supported my writing when I was new too. Have a great day, Ernesto!!

E/S: . . have you ever considered my being? . . what a conquest of self!!! Paula Larson (the opposite of the cornered female, in an escapeless relationship arrangement) great reflex for your male make-up! Sounds bitter doesn't it!! (What about our publishing deal) I have been into study, but am freer now, with the Spring thaw)
