In My Own Way
How many times have you heard someone say
You take my breath away?
I would never recite such a cliche
Lacking in rhythm and rhyme
And is hardly sublime
No, you are worthy of greater for sure
You, the only one I adore
Deserve words of beauty pure and raw
Neither would I give you anything poor
Wanting in elegance and so much more
I promise to pledge a greater array
Of a beautiful phrase not dull or grey
And you will exclaim, tell me again
Hence, I shall convey in my own way
Powerfully elegantly I will say
My Breathe You Take Away.
