Don't Get It Twisted...

My third poem...based on some memories of past loves and how right the current one is.

Don't Get It Twisted...

I’m not your Saviour!

I can only save my own password.

The one that unlocks my heart.

 

You’re not my Saviour!

 

If I need a hero, I’ll wear the cape.

Save myself, slay the dragon, tear the villain apart.

 

I’m not your Saviour!

 

Don’t look to me for answers.

I can only pass my own tests.

 

You’re not my Saviour!

 

I don’t need your cheat sheet.

My answers lie within my chest.

 

I’m not your Saviour!

 

I can’t fix other’s wrongs.

I can only love the damage.

 

You’re not my Saviour!

 

My heart is easy, my mind hard to understand.

Just know if you wrong me…I’ll be a savage.

 

I’m not your Saviour,

You are not mine.

We can join forces

And together combine

Two complete wholes

That make a mighty force

Side by side we'll face all

With strength, honor and no remorse.

Author's Note

You real poets out there will find issues with flow, rhythm, etc. That's okay. This is my version of a love poem...

Ever notice … you can’t push together the same polarities of a magnet; they only ‘hook’ together if opposite polarities combine! That’s why it’s great to see your write highlighting the advantages of a Yin and Yang relationship …. :-)

Thanks for reading my meager attempt to say pretty much what you just did. Two people, complete in and of themselves, with no co-dependency, is an army of two.

Love fall into place. Two people need same place and have same need. Rarely happens. I liked the flow of thoughts and repetition leading to good ending. Thank you Carol for sharing the excellent poetry.

"Excellent"?! *bowing with hands outstretched* I'm not worthy...

Thank you so much reading this. I appreciate the praise from one who's writing I so admire.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome Carol. I enjoy your work also.

Though I'm no poet still I see no issues with the flow or anything. I think it really hits the nail in the subject. The message in this poem is what I absolutely love and it was just yesterday that a friend told me we're our own remedies and physicians, so this really hits home...

"My heart is easy, my mind hard to understand."
I love this line. I think the mind is kinda impossible to understand...
Your version of a love poem is lovely, Carol.

[Carol Cashes]

Thank you so much for reading. I dashed this off when I heard a friend say she would be nothing without her "other". Wha?!
We all sometimes have problems understanding our own minds, much less someone else's. I think if you can read and accept their heart, they'll help you understand their mind.
Thanks again for reading this. I'm a complete neophyte at poetry...but I'm learning from some serious talent on this site - to include you!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I think it's all about what you choose to believe, but of course we do live even with no 'other' one out there...
That's an interesting thought. I'd say heart is even more of a mystery (at least to me lol)

I thank you too for considering me a 'serious talent' :) and you're welcome. :))
