be direct   direct me *have I not,     but cannot more                       be been strong for you,             so I teach you to teach the power of strength by daring to ask* ask me    i will create anything it is in my power    to create for you i will break anything for you that needs to be broken *old poet old brok-en asking that you keep on asking, I need nothing broke, busted but still needing you, needing you whole for me to be whole, from that hole of dark, we share different sides, I need you creating you anew* al green said   no one told us about the sorrow no one told me about today no one told me about tomorrow     if asking were my strength   this deadly blind balance would not be my act *but it is that you arrived here to survive here, the balance is blind, but you are not, you knew sorrow was a possible. you want easy, I'll give you easy, ask yourself above all, what's next that I want* answering    l o v e... i can answer i can answer ***the old poet asks, why is it this poem world always comes around to that old tirade, that four letter word...the one you ask, when is it my turn, and I answer you twice, for you asked and answered twice, I do love you, I do love you, exactly as you are, invisible but oh so visible to us all, and that is why you must ask for more, evermore, never ceasing, believing this more is due, due to you***
