Would that I
could wax poetic
Maybe I wouldn’t
be so pathetic
I’d wrap your heart
within my charm
Assure you that
I mean no harm
The love I offer
comes so deep
For only you,
I pray you keep
I’d offer the world,
as best I could
That you’d accept,
I wish you would
My need is to win you
My desire is to fire you
If only to,
your heart enflame
Then not for you,
to carry blame
For I desire,
for you to know
My hearts enthral,
to you to show
For tongue tied,
never lied
But tripped up,
… only tried
My love …,
is not pathetic
And my call to you
… is poetic
So very lovely...I agree...it flows beautifully...and the connection between reader and poet is definitely there as every word sang to me a ballad I've come to know. Once again, I'd just like to say that this poem was lovely.
Got goosepimples from that one.
I like it!
A good poem about need and desire, for the want of love.
Yeah, Stephen, this is how I came to know you: straight forward and oh so determined! LOL I am sure someone will benefit from this positive, reassuring attitude! Once in a while it is good to let go, and spontaneously write that creative urge to pieces! You are destined for compulsive writing ... so: do it, lad! Myra
