Crazy

I don't want the power in love

I don't aim to be your master

Falling down all around

like so much well meant disaster

Oh, I never wanted a slave

I pursue a life less ruled

But if you walk without your chains

Perhaps we can make each other crazy

I'm just a human in need of suspense

No need to fail, no dire need of gold

Sometimes I fall down all around

My one need; for truth to be told.

Oh I'm no angel

nor aspiring demon

just someone to hold

when it gets dark.

If you walk, walk with me

I do not follow

but I will hold you

and drive you crazy

I pursue a life of me

where I want to go

and I don't want you to be

just someone to follow

I want a partner

friend, confidant...

I need a defender

and someone crazy

Someone crazy like

someone crazy about

someone I can be crazy

for and with and 

forever.

There's good crazy and there's bad crazy, this is definitely the good kind!
Crazy love is the best, most fun and adventurous kind of love! Enjoyed this Mark!

It's good to love. I think it's most enjoyable when it is given without expectations but being human it's tough to not be at least a little self centered. Thanks for reading, and your comments. :)

You're welcome. :)

In mutual craziness there is passion and love. Well versed and written. Doesn't it capture the desire for crazy love in us all?

I would think the last 2 stanzas tell the world just what you are looking for in your Gypsy life. A deeply exposing write of a strong personality. Valentine

I think I've seen that old guy before. Wasn't he in Weird Al Yankovic's "UHF ?"

And yes, when all the mind games are over and done, whatever remains is the glue for that relationship. And if it doesn't stick, it wasn't meant to be. :)

Thanks DW haven't been on this site in quite awhile but saw your name and decided to come see. What old guy are you referring to?

[dw817]

The guy who meets the teenagers in the video. Let me see if I can find a clip from UHF.

this is a wonderful poem.

Ha Mark a brutal honest verse setting out clearly who you are and the kind of relationship you seek. Hope she is listening!
