Ode To Sherma Poem by Arthur Hummler

I'm sorry lately I've been too concerned about myself
Nursing my wounded soul and heart back to health
I've been wondering endlessly whether you Love me or not
Overlooking all the signs in front, how quickly I forgot
What is Love vs who you Love and how to proceed
Broke my spirit and question its essence indeed
What to believe and what to feed isn't what I needed at the time
Focusing on oneself isn't always a crime sometimes
Now let's focus at the task at hand
Let me say it in a way you'll understand
I know your feelings for me are pure and true
Whether you call it Love or not isn't taboo
Besides I'll never forget the tattoo
I no longer need to hear you say
I Love you
It'll cheapen the moment and not give us justice
It'd be like fighting when hugs and kisses are in surplus
Not us
Not you
Not me
Love is priceless and free
Cuz you are truly hopelessly in love with me
Comes uninvited without warning or sound
Off to cloud 9 way off your stable ground
That's a whole other level as I've learned
Something you haven't felt since you've last been burned
Something you didn't expect and wasn't prepared for
Made you tap quickly and run for the door
Only to return cuz the pain was too sharp
The door got slammed straight into your heart
Then you get news that an old love might come back
What a rush felt like a heart attack
Loving someone is great and very rewarding
Unless your 'In Love' then it becomes haunting
It's overpowering, a mind of its own out of your control
Being true to it and yourself will restore your soul
You've done things your regret out of your character
Stuck in a forced commitment must feel like Attica
But let's not forget the cell door is unlocked
The vessel you call your heart don't have to be docked
It's you yourself you really mock stop being a pain in your own buttock
Starting thinking about yourself and not everyone else
Follow Gandhi's proverb and become your old self
Being 'In Love' the healthiest act one can partake
Shouldn't make you feel selfish, dishonest and fake
Until you recognize its a precious Gift from Above
Embracing it you will realize something greater then Love
Face the truth it will empower you
Surrendering to is what you need to do
It's nobody's fault just us
It's the Libra and the Taurus
Trust me I promise this is not a disaster
It's just Artie and Sherma Forever
