For My Soul

I take no alcohol for my soul Love alone has truly made me whole, Indeed I have my very own spirit Listen to your ghosts, you can hear it. To calm my nerves I do not smoke Upon drugs my body will not ever choke, So, while others are stoned and drinking I instead am off creating and thinking. I think of you still as I wander And I also think of you as my mind does ponder, In this lifetime we met, but only one time Then I heard destiny's beautiful chime. I truly thought that you were the one for me You set my emotions and desires free, And for my inspiration you indeed were my light Because of you, I began to create and write. I watched as you had romantically undressed I must say that I was very impressed, But, of course I wasn't the first and probably not the last But, of course that was in your past. When others drink and they give their cheers I now alone wipe away my tears. I loved you in this life, as I will also in the very next The situation then, will be less complex. Randy L. McClave
