****simply You*****solution

Salty tears freefall the slopes of your cheeks colliding into the palms of my hand 
I’ll be your lake only collecting water of your brand 

when you lack imagination which leads to frustration
I’ll go pick a bouquet flowers and grass for you to use as motivation 

when question marks halo the horizon of your hair
I’m no scientist but I’ll snatch imaginary answers from this fiddly air

when days are dim and storms follow your life 
my skin is dark but I’ll be your sunlight 

when your appetite and hunger needs to be filled
I could use microwave and George Forman grill

When I run out of rhymes to rhyme and my poetry bad
You become that ingredient to add

When I haven’t got a clue 
My answer becomes you
