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.

This is romantic with a good dose of realism mixed in. I like the sense of "knowing oneself", what works, what doesn't, what's sought "I want a partner,friend, confidant...I need a defender and someone crazy". That's not an unreasonable set of wishes. Like what you did here in this write :) Penny

Thank you very much dear lady :)

Sometimes being crazy means to be yourself without any restraints or chains around your soul telling you what to do who to be .... to find someone to take you as you are ... accept the parts you hide or reveal from your personality is what life is all about ... to be loved must be associated with accepting the crazy {you} hidden deep within .... well don't we all have one somewhere .....?

I loved it ... words, syle and all ... thank you

[Mark]

Thank you for your thoughtful review. I'm not sure we all have someone somewhere. Maybe? I've been looking a really long time LOL

[Mira ThePoetess]

Well I hope you find someone as crazy as you .. who'd understand you the way you are and take you without expecting any changes ... maybe you don't need to look .. and she's somewhere near and she will find you ... lol ... have a wonderful day my friend :D

Oh this is just so cleverly and amazingly well written... this was fabbydoo, dude. I loved it. Mumma is so, so proud of her boy. Well done. Loved the expressions and all.

[Mark]

Thank you Mumma! :)

Towards the end I thought of that Patsy Kline song "Crazy." The one Perot used in his ill fated bid for the white house. That was a great song and this is a great poem. Good one Mark

[Mark]

She was a hell of a singer and that was my favorite song of hers... It was Willie Nelson's song, but she owned it.

Oh I'm no angel
nor aspiring demon
just someone to hold
when it gets dark.

Over the moon with the expression and meaning of this poem. Excellent work.

Indeed you are no angel, but a story teller and one that brings tears, well done, good read.

[Mark]

Thank you my dear friend! I'm glad I could evoke emotion. :)

love this, Mark.

i want a partner i can get crazy with and tell the truth to...someone to walk beside, not behind or in front...one who will take me with all my flaws...two imperfects can really make an almost perfect partnership i think.
