To have or have not
This question rides
Upon me as a storm

Storm of a dozen or
More who expect a
Person to stop what

What they are doing
Just for them is their
Existence proved or

Or do they believe
They know another
Because of a certain

Certain link in which
They are present in
Time and place and

And because they
Think they know
You they then think

Think they own you
Which is far from fact
Because a link is all and

And purpose shared
But then which are
They to expect one

One such as I to
Comply to all their
Whims and Dreams

Dreams that were
Not inscribed into
Any stone tablets

Tablets of antiquity
With words of truth
By swords of steel

Steal my heart and
Break my back but
There shall be no

No explanation for
My interpreted or
Otherwise distance

Distance traversed
With an imaginitive
Leap only for all I

I have given over
The years and then
As now have not

Not ever expected
Anything in return
From anyone I may

May have assisted
In some manner I
Merely did what I

I knew to be the
Right thing for me
To do and this is

Is the reason

I'm afraid the concrete meaning of the poem eluded me. But I liked the twist where "steel" from the previous line turned to "steal" in the next.

An interesting experiment in form - but it rambles far too much to capture this reader's attention or provide anything substantial to grasp.
