PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

'You Flatter Me Thus'
in great gauzy waves
mastering words to champion
the focus of my gaze
how charming you seem
with pen poised to line
the mighty sword's blood
gives flow to
your ink's rhythmic rhyme
whether sorcerer of verse
or mere gentleman of wit
how can I find fault with
such an enthused poem writ
merriment like mermaids
I must admit
danced about my
up turned twitching lips
as I read and re read
your sonnet
painting for me
such a glossy mental pic
of a fellow who
appeared from my
critique and profile
nearly word smitten
that a poem for me he
writ
smiling tongue in cheek
all the while
using my monicker
he knew I could not miss
that such word structure
he constructed for but
my own private
pleasure's bliss
but what you could not
know dear sir
with your semi-love struck
pen is
as I smiled and I read
it was your Come Hither
that drew mine eye
closest to your page's
thumping grip
two words
I myself
have so fondly
over the decades
been so utterly
smitten with
they hail from the
classic 'Jane Eyre'
and there again
reading your poem
my mind gently slipped
so thank you kind sir
for penning your
magical allure
for as best as i can say
you gave this poetess
a glimpse
of a heaven like scene
all a blur..................
