Lose Control

A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks

Lose Control

I want to lose control
and I give You the wheel.
And You can take my soul
To do with as You feel.
And I will pay my toll
If You finish the deal.
And You can take control
I give You the will.
**********
You�re the captain of my vessel
So sail me where You want to go.
You�re the strength behind my muscle;
The nourishment I need to grow
You have all the answers,
So show me what I need to know,
And be the captain of my vessel
And sail me where You want to go.
**********
I want to lose control
and I give You the wheel.
And You can take my soul
To do with as You feel.
And I will pay my toll
If You finish the deal.
And You can take control
I give You the will.
**********
You�re the pilot of my starship,
So fly me where I need to be.
And even through the hardship,
I know you�re right there with me.
You have all the reasons
So show me what I need to see,
And be the pilot of my starship
And fly me where I need to be.
**********
I want to lose control
and I give You the wheel.
And You can take my soul
To do with as You feel.
And I will pay my toll
If You finish the deal.
And You can take control
I give You the will.
**********
Everything I do and everything I see
It happens for the one who is higher than me.

M.J.S.

A Beautiful inspirational poem an awsome read for Lavender Power Sisters who question why. I suggest putting this one to music. The flow has it's own rythme...

It's been a long time since I've read such in inspirational poem. Thank you for this encouragement and reminder in that I am not alone as I face the trials and challenges of life.

I'm not sure if this is naughty or religious. :)
It's great though.
Have fun.

Another wonderfully-beautiful write, Mejusha! This reads like lyrics. Is this a song you wrote?? This is a story unto itself. This should be the story of every Christian's life. And, thank you for the Angel gift! :-) You are soooo sweet!

A senario we all wish for at some time or another rudder Mejasha! I for one have been at the helm for far too long and would relinquish control in the bat of an eyelid, but only to one I totally trusted and they are rare in my experience. Great write, flows beautifully. Thanks for your offer of friend ship. All aboard are welcome on Tai's drifting ship. Smiling at you

I put this in my favorites even before I finished. LOL

Thats how good it is!
I think the poem itself is excellent but you made it rhythm too, it is absolutely gorgeous.
Excellent writing!

Like Blackbirdsong says, this is a very lyrical piece - it sings and soars! You establish nice rhyme patterns that are very satisfying for the reader. And it's romantic sentiments are never over-egged. Much enjoyed.

P.S: Thanks for the kind reviews, they're much appreciated. James x.
