PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

so I come to you again

in hidden mystery

a voice yet heard

whose words grab you by

the heart

you laugh

'cause I then dare to call you

my deeply enigmatic one

with just a hint of timid

inflection

velvet hands borrowed from

the sun

lift me up with your dearness

such a tangible fortune

you gather in me

I see what you feel

so clearly

'tis never shrouded long

by what is not really real

no dark amusement passed

your chiseled lips

as true gentlemen do not

demean

and you see me in all my

supposed glory

with no apparent pretense

permitted

but the shutters of my

gentle womanhood

draw questions to a close

as self preservation tempers

me intrepidly calm

even with little or no

recent interaction with you

all is well in this house of

imbalance

for my strong, gentle love

so enchantably immoral

is only as far from me

as I'll have him be

if to be better explained

his riveting nearness

is never far

allowing my every breath to

feel the gentle embrace of such

an unflinching gaze...........
