I Took A Knee To Tie My Shoe Poem by stephanie mellisa kievaughan

I Took A Knee To Tie My Shoe

Rating: 4.5


A good thing to have
is the gift to know
when the poem is spun
when to turn off the flow
and when things are done.
you have to listen
to your heart
where it is
From Whence it came
and where it fancies
Most to be.
be it physically
or tangibly,
or emotionally,
what it found,
and what it did
likened unto a pro
or a master
don't you know
all the while
taming your id
like the shrew.
who dug a hole
from which to gaze upon
the likes of you
while you bowed
to tie your shoe.
asking? your self.
who is the king here?
is it me that bows to you.
The King of all the shrews.
Or is it You who Bows to me
The Humble Queen
of all the Shrews.

when one ask's you what do you fancy. it means what do you crave the most if ask in reference to food or drink or entertainment. or what ever you desire according to the context of the original query.
