Vol V: The Things I had to know

Vol V: The Things I had to Know


Please forgive me for the things I had to know
Even though I’m writing about it, it wasn’t for show
But there are some things that bug my mind
Like how a woman can write the things even he has yet to find,
Unless he is thinking and talking about love and life
Pondering the lessons that cause so much strife
For things you say, are the things my heart wrote,
Not only in poem, but also in note,
To the fabric of my soul,
Which show the essences of who I am
A man born to love, with no one to give
A man born to love, whose heart has yet to live
I had to know whose heart’s thoughts were in sync with mine
Discarding the fact of your beauty, radiance so divine,
For those things matter so much less,
When you know treasure is the soul behind the flesh,
Not nosy, but thoroughly intrigued,
Figuring learning about you, would be learning about me
Didn’t mean to rattle you, or shake your pretty feathers
Just wondering how many more like you carry my heart’s letters.
