Poem
Crazy Man By Rick Rucker By subterfuge, and sleight of hand I’ve won the fairest in the Land. While she was concentrating on the Rose, I won her over, head to toes. She never even had a chance, I overcame her with Romance! Like a mounted charge, it was so fast That her resistance could not last. She was resolute, she held fast to her Heart, A friendly relation was all she’d start, I listened to just what she said, Knew I’d pursue her 'til I was dead. In the past, she had some troubles, I had to make those burst like bubbles. I had to let her see my Heart, And from her side, I wouldn’t part. I thought of the technique I’d use, Not really a trick, or a ruse But rather a daring plan, To show her what a loving man Would do to protect her Heart, And every other part, From those that would use them, to their own ends, Leave her hurting, and not make amends. My love would shield her like a force field, If she would, to me, but yield. A protector wouldn’t have a chance Her security to enhance If she kept her guard up, at the ready Seeming tough, but not steady The Plan was simple, it didn’t shove Relying instead on my words of Love At first, she was taken aback I don’t think she expected that tack That one who knew how to grieve Would carry his Heart on his sleeve! She was living in a prison Behind a wall that had arisen Due to past romances bad These had left her alone, and sad. Every time, when there was a lull, I would not let her mull On those failed relations past I’d say “I love You,” slick, and fast When I did it, she would react, I know that it showed little tact But, in the end, I could see, That she began to think of me As a man that just might be One with whom she could spend Eternity! I don’t say that this is THE WAY, It did, for me, win the day! Failing, I would have been crushed I knew she could not be rushed I now know that she thinks me daft, On the Sea of Love, a raft. But, from me, she never ran And she calls me her Crazy Man!
