Poem Commentary

Why must you do this to me...

a single Grain of salt

I want one thing, and you're it.

So why can't you comply?

 

You said you wanted me, my body, don't deny.

Please don't lie.

Stop, You said you don't compromise!

 

I know your cologne.

Wood chips and salty water.

I know you took me by surprise.

 

I smelled you before I saw you.

And saw you before I knew you.

 

So don't deny you want me.

Don't back into stubborn you.

 

Pick a personality and stick to it.

I can't keep up with change.

 

I'm dramatic in a beautiful way.

And you have effect on me.

 

Where were you when I was falling apart,

when I was falling in love,

when I was falling together?

 

Off in another part of the oceans,

searching for something,

something - yourself.

'I know your cologne. Wood chips and salty water" —holy s**t !! Only to lead in to this one of a kind poetic statement: "I smelled you before I saw you" —I am floored by excitement for you, for your voice of creation.
