For you, I am

Poem By: controverse
Poetry


This was done in response to hiralariou's challenge. I was given the line "Caring for you like I did for no other." You'll find it if you read it, I didn't bold it or anything because I didn't want to talk anything from the poem. I still think this is a good poem of mine! One of the rare ones where I put in some rhymes to hopefully make it more "together". Comments please :) View table of contents...

I am

    Looking for you

        like no wanderer has looked;

    For when traveller's frequently seek gold,

    I alone desire to hold

    You, my treasure,

    Within my heart and soul.

I am

    Fighting for you

        like no soldier has fought

    Since a soldier's cause is not his own.

    But this passion of mine has brought

    Ashes to flesh,

    And rivers to bone.

I am

    Loving to you

        like no lover has loved.

    A lover's love is not to be thrown

    Into the air to land

    On some gal's gullible ears,

    But to be held hand-in-hand

    And heart-in-heart:

    As cherished as it is revered.

And I am

    Caring for you

        like I did for no other;

    Only for you, I am all and I am nought.

And I am

    Thinking of you

        like I did of no other;

    Smiling about you

        like I did about no other;

    Dreaming of you

       Like I have never dreamed before.

    For each pen stroke that I have brought

    down, it was done solely for you.

I am

Loving to you

like no lover has loved.

A lover's love is not to be thrown

Into the air to land

On some gal's gullible ears,

But to be held hand-in-hand

And heart-in-heart:

As cherished as it is revered.
