I make sweet love to my Maryjane,

yet can rarely afford her light.

A woman who sells herself to the night.

Amorphous as a plume of smoke,

and euphoric as a fallen leaf.

Inside me a fire you awoke,

the hottest of which i have yet to unsheathe.

The greyscale backgrounds of dreary tales pending,

are clouded by colors intertwining.

Painting the picture of my own happy ending,

the one i have been so earnest in finding.

You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)
