Love Poem: I Don'T Want To Rhyme Anymore

I Don'T Want To Rhyme Anymore

First, I tried to rhyme 
with your spirits...

For I really thought I saw in it
our own beginning, without end
and my heart accented to love 

I gave my very best 
and you surely know that 
‘twas 100% rhyme

Yet after years of enjoying my soul 
marinated in your wants and wishes
I noticed your words, drifting like heavy rain 
that my big palms barely hold them

Have you ever considered my being?

That this morning, after a shower 
rinsed the great pain I kept 
in my breath, I opted to walk the sun-lit
corridor of free verse, where I can be me
just as what I always wanted to be... 

Without engaging my dignity
in too much psychedelic wars
