THIS PART OF MY SPEECH

Should I look for a powerful noun
Or look for a powerful verb?
Should I turn into an adjective to accompany you in your nominal form
Or turn into an adverb to describe you as a verb?
I hate to think myself a conjuction
Joining you as an independent clause
To another dependent clause
I hate to think of myself as a preposition
Directing you to one who will usurp my heart’s throne
I will be no article
Making another a definite or an indefinite pair for you
I wish I could be an exclamation
To issue commands to your heart’s ears to hear my heartbeats
Won’t it even be better if I become the pronoun to your noun
With you as my antecedent in a coupling sentence?
It will definitely make us conjoined souls in a loving whole!
I feel like an error filled simple sentence
One without a full stop!
I feel like a dependent clause
Hanging onto an independent clause which is far removed to help me make a complete thought
Yet, you act like an independent clause in a complex sentence
…with no space for my addition
I will never find words to make me complete at this rate
You cruel sweet clause acting dagger to dig out my heart

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)
