New Beginnings

Keep it simple for me to adore you my love
I don't need a challenge to repeat past mistakes
playing games does not work for me turtle dove

When you deal with my identity in its wakes
don't put me off until tomorrow if I ask not
I don't play head games please put on the brakes

I'm fragile and that shouldn't be awkward to spot
look as deep as you can afar inside of me
I care not for immunity lukewarm versus hot

Whatever I am today is what I always shall be
don't tell me stories because I can tell
call it anything you desire it's name is ESP

I've always longed for cohesion never to bail
they may not be what everybody else desires
meant not for me to be inside a novel to tell

I'm sure I'll fix this I healed with past buyers
I'll grow tired of those ways of thinking until truth transpires

You bare your mind (and soul) in your poetry, Angela. You offer yourself as you are, no games, gimmicks and make-up. Life is hard enough, and we need not complicate it more than it is! ~ Regards / paul

Cohesion and simplicity are interrelated. When a persons starts on mind games it's time to say goodbye. ~~
