PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

there was little if any luck left

in this vague situation to spare

I wasn't out looking for any sort of happiness

nor heartache and to this I'd soon swear

yet, still I could not redirect the almost evil urge

I had to toil and tease

how could I not

with such amazingly blue upon blue eyes that could only

stare

and quite possibly even most politely please

all the while in them burned a brazenly hostile interest

that I could not bring myself to tangle with

but neither share

but I must be ready to confess that their correct assessment

of the intangible incident gave challenge full chase to my most

curious creative flair

know that the turning of any viable emotion over into my safe

keeping would be like backing the lion into his lair

you may very well end up loving me but in the beginning

it will be quite a soul full of scare

so tell me dear heart

are you ready to create that suit of armored armor

in which you'll one day wish to wear

if you will, I will

seeing as its only considered fair..........
