Innocence

I am man
I am love
I am man
I am evil
I am man
I may smile
I may cry
I may save you
I may die
I am the result
Of a couples dream
I am life
Or so it would seem
I can do a great many things
I am just one
Of the father of all kings
I am the life, love and birth
I am the child to assess it’s worth
I am the prayer
I am the payer
I am the slayer
I am the hopeful
I am the dreamer
I am he………….
Who understands

Eric (and sometimes not)

Thank you Tyesha I take that as a great compliment coming from you as you are also a truly talented individual yourself. I have never read anyone else's poetry I have enjoyed more. I myself just joined the Soup this evening and I am glad I did, I never had a clue what I was missing. Looking forward to reading more of your work.
