ENCHANTED BY YOUR WITHIN
kneaded near lifeless
bleeding out still
from a butchered past
the opinions you gave
spoke harshly of your ill
so much heart
hath been trampled
but there is much beauty
in those remnants
your dear poetry offers
many a sample
from out of so much
darkness
you've emerged
into so much blinding light
why, you are the tree
that after a long bitter drought
grew fine and tall
nearly over night
and I received the honor
of witnessing such
transformation
the glory of your joy
a cornerstone of my
intense admiration
from the love found
love lost beginnings
unto a loveless middle road
taken
thrice detoured
to venture down
again you solemnly swore
no more
I happen upon you
a harmless
happy woman
enchanted by your within
perhaps God indeed did
lure me to you
via a poem about him
catching my eye
as poems never fail to do
i applauded a great and
glorious poet
and got far more than I could have
ever bargained for
in you..............................
