For My Soul Poem by Randy McClave

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.
