Crazy Man
Crazy Man
By Rick Rucker
By subterfuge, and sleight of hand
I’ve won the fairest in the Land.
While she was concentrating on the Rose,
I won her over, head to toes.
She never even had a chance,
I overcame her with Romance!
Like a mounted charge, it was so fast
That her resistance could not last.
She was resolute, she held fast to her Heart,
A friendly relation was all she’d start,
I listened to just what she said,
Knew I’d pursue her 'til I was dead.
In the past, she had some troubles,
I had to make those burst like bubbles.
I had to let her see my Heart,
And from her side, I wouldn’t part.
I thought of the technique I’d use,
Not really a trick, or a ruse
But rather a daring plan,
To show her what a loving man
Would do to protect her Heart,
And every other part,
From those that would use them, to their own ends,
Leave her hurting, and not make amends.
My love would shield her like a force field,
If she would, to me, but yield.
A protector wouldn’t have a chance
Her security to enhance
If she kept her guard up, at the ready
Seeming tough, but not steady
The Plan was simple, it didn’t shove
Relying instead on my words of Love
At first, she was taken aback
I don’t think she expected that tack
That one who knew how to grieve
Would carry his Heart on his sleeve!
She was living in a prison
Behind a wall that had arisen
Due to past romances bad
These had left her alone, and sad.
Every time, when there was a lull,
I would not let her mull
On those failed relations past
I’d say “I love You,” slick, and fast
When I did it, she would react,
I know that it showed little tact
But, in the end, I could see,
That she began to think of me
As a man that just might be
One with whom she could spend Eternity!
I don’t say that this is THE WAY,
It did, for me, win the day!
Failing, I would have been crushed
I knew she could not be rushed
I now know that she thinks me daft,
On the Sea of Love, a raft.
But, from me, she never ran
And she calls me her Crazy Man!
