Soul Long

This world’s taking off; about time I joined in

Enough with these clichés popping up again and again

You ask me why I always wrote about a given miss?

Because for the longest time it was all too disturbing to dismiss

And then it continued to an unending and harmful degree!!

Really?! No. But there was a longing to satiate that need

Melodramatic a bit; dark, depressed and dreaming

Just wrote to combat the stresses that were seemingly teaming

So now not a thought about what isn’t and what’s unseen

I’ve found a new soul, if you know what I mean

So where now, you ask, for this sharp-dressed man?

Can’t say for sure or that I even have a plan

Quite honestly I can say it doesn’t even matter

I’m done with the former and embracing the beautiful latter

Checkmate to now being legitimately colligate

And a round of applause for my eventual fate

King me and behold the brimming smile upon my face

Because there’s a place for everything and everything’s in its right place

There’s no longer a thought about what could be, and what’s not

There’s no longer a thought about what isn’t and what ought

My world has taken off; about time if I might say

Enough with the clichés and the boredom of every day

You ask me if I’ll ever again write about those femme fatales?

Well no. I’ve honestly lost the desire to at all

Because it’s been so long that my soul did long

And I’ve finally found what I’ve wanted all along

With a tip of my top hat to a sight so beautifully clear

There’s a sight worth seeing from the view from up here

There’s no longer a thought about whether I can maintain control

I’ve found a new soul… I’ve found a new soul…
