I took you...

[joel]

I took you for my soul
but then transcribed as I saw fit
in ways to match my wit
and placed you underneath my feet—

I took you for my sole
and laced you on my troubled walk
and you began to stalk
with me—and so you stalked yourself—

I took you for my sole
desire; delight; delicious dream—
I made you what I seem
to need and want and go beyond—

I took you for my soul:
to be or just to complement—
and so you compliment
not pride nor love, but hope for growth.

nicely put, joel...
