Writing Me Softly With His Rhyme
I heard he wrote a good line
That he had flair and style
And as I read his work
That captured me for a while
And there he was, this gray beard
A stranger to my heart
Strumming my soul with his keyboard
Writing my emotions with his heart
Caressing me softly with his rhyme
Caressing me softly with his rhyme
Caressing me softly with his love
I felt all elevated my
Emotions all on fire
I felt that he knew me
Read my thoughts outloud
I prayed he won't leave me
Just keep on caressing me awhile for he was
Strumming my soul with his keyboard
Writing my emotions with his heart
Caressing me softly with his rhyme
Caressing me softly with his rhyme
Caresssing me softly with his love
He wrote poems as if he knew me
In my darkest days
Then he read right through me
Oh! How much I really craved
For he was
Strumming my soul with his keyboard
Writing my emotions with his heart
Caressing me softly with his rhyme
Caressing me softly with his rhyme
Caressing me softly with his love
Caressing me softly with his l--o--v-e
(This is a take off on the song "Killing Me Softly With His Song". I heard it as an instrumental
and this just hit me. It applies to all soupers whose poetry has touched my heart as well as
some of my well know poets and poetessess.)
