My Soul

I’m on the other side of the fence I’m trying to make a difference And I don’t wanna figure out what’s on your mind I’m walking a different route, so you won’t leave me behind Let me fly, hm, let me soar to another place Let me live, hm, let me dig deep in my own pace Wipe that silly grin off your face right now! Set my heart aflame with passionate glow somehow… I’ll run away from this pain in my heart of bliss I’ll find a way to mend your childlike happiness Please don’t leave me with nothing to win Don’t prey upon me, predator from deep within Am I your one and only? Am I the lost and lonely? Am I as cold as cold can be? Am I willing to be truly free? Let me break free from captivity’s hold Soon, you’ll depend on me – a lion so bold I don’t mind going away from the streets I used to roam But, don’t take away everything I have in this fine home I wish I can freeze time on my own will I wish you’d be here with me – so, be still Try not to drink away all your hopes and dreams You don’t see me, naturally breaking by the seams I’m on the other side of the sunlight, Waiting for you to make my night alright Bright star of mine, your mind is wandering on its own You’re a kind spirit of delight…know you’re not alone! I don’t mind you igniting my satisfaction I don’t mind your incredible compassion As long as I have you in mind As long as I am no longer blind You set fire to my soul You are the music to my skull You set fire to my soul You are the flames to the coal… As long as I am on the other side of the fence, Making an effort to make a lifelong difference

Pleading, combative, optimistic, and stout love breathes deeply throughout this poem. There is something beautifully neurotic, and loyal in this love J.W. "I'm on the other side of sunlight, waiting for you to make my night alright..." I really like the "clear cut" feelings in this poem...J.A.B.
