Illusions of You

You see I choose to refuse 
the excuse I’m used 
Leaves my soul feeling bruised 
I’m so confused do I call a truce  
I guess I assumed 
I was doomed you see,
So I resumed my play 
with the sweet smell 
of perfume on me, 
As I let you coerce me 
through your diversity 
in elegant spoken verse to me, 
Yet that’s worse you see
Letting you immerse me 
within your curse so urgently 
leaving me to explore you nervously 
it’s your being from head to floor 
that’s so freeing 
It’s your true being I was seeing, 
embracing your very core 
I fell deeply in love with you before
While to myself I swore 
You I will always adore 
So pardon this rude intrusion
But your my cure, and my solution 
At the conclusion of this evolution 
I can’t ignore it may be the illusion 
of you I love more

This needs putting to music. Perfectly suited for a "rap" beat I would have to say. Queen Rap is back! :) john P.s All you would be rappers watch out!
