A Brilliant Young Actor

She came with a purpose It was gone in a minute She hated his fiction But she found herself in it It was taxing to love him His gain was her loss And brushing his shoulder Had come at a cost She cherished his words But he lied when he talked So she swallowed her tongue Till the carousel stopped And she said you don't love me But he knew how to act So he cradled her hand And he took off his hat He said you've gone crazy! Your all that I need And he kissed her by moonlight Until she believed And she vowed she would leave him But she was decieved By a brilliant young actor With tricks up his sleeve By Kyle Ezra Kriticos

This is just great stuff ... great rhythm and phrasing, but more so fun to read and a great message. Despite all the technical "elements" folks look for, poetry, reading AND writing, should be about enjoyment and emotion. Adding to my faves - wish you were around more, Kyle! - the bard
