PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

perhaps it wasn't the man but his county and his people

that kept me rooted to that very spot

yet every time he chanced a look somewhere my way

which was never quite enough

his pale plain eyes filled with something indescribable,

molten, almost hot

for once he made me not wish I was someone I was not

and I'll never forget him for that alone

so consider that discovered key reburied far beneath

this lover's unassuming plot...........
