All Because Poem by James McLain

' All '
because you never tried
to curve mine inside or to break my pride.
And anything l craved at all was you.
I am a man and I get frightened of love too so
any thing at all; I am the cave man you love.
Your friends thought I was you, they said;
They wanted to keep me half naked,
alone and you I frightened, I would run away.
Nor never with airs of they no conquest.
For you had conquered my resolve.
They knew 'You'
thought to draw me out of you my ignorance - Talk to me,
for I like you more
than me they and I loved your lips and the moon
and your front I loved your front.
And since the body; the manhood of Strength you
you Alone and good combined with yours
were either rare;
you like him of flying spirit I would give away my spirit
Wholly 'God' without restriction, lastly,
Owner of my dreams and taste more my spirit;
I am tasteless like the wind you move upon;
And I will say this to you since, you never asked.
