Poem Title:
Poem
In regards, to the birds and the bees Depends on who’s watching, what he sees There are some women, impossible to please Wise men are wary, to be with one of these See beneath all that glitter, her cool choreographed style Sexy and sultry, wrapped in a sweet smile She’s most likely, to leave in a short while The pain of the distance, will increase mile by mile But societal ties and moral cues Would have asked, that you pay her dues You confessed your love, now you play the blues The right woman, is rarely the one that you choose She left you alone, without saying a word The rumors were real, the ones that you heard Far from innocent, her morals were blurred Yet not following her path, never occurred They say Love is perennially blind, so let it be Keep your eyes open, see what you need to see Love shouldn’t destroy you, choose to be free I beg of you young lad, please listen to me Sometimes it’s hard, to let go of some things When the time’s right, love brings what it brings The one you desire, might break your heart strings From a true love, many a blessing springs It’s her face, because of it many hearts have slipped You make such a mistake your wings are clipped Heartbroken, insides soul feels whipped For this kind of love, a man is not equipped When you and your lady are all alone Ensure to her, your love is known Forget past desire, the bird who has flown Unburden your sins, it’s time to atone In your arms gentle and kind she may feel What’s inside to be feared is also real The one you had, holds a certain appeal So you remain unsatisfied, after love’s meal I have here an old solution For this conflict resolution Within your soul she is pollution Leading you to a wrong conclusion A woman fair, who says yes dear She wants a man, whose values are clear You will know the truth, when you look in the mirror It’s your baser emotions, that you must fear. Compilation poem Orchestrated by: Richard Lamoureux Contributors: John Lawless, Sushmita Kalashikar, Lei Strauss, Subimal Sinha-Roy, Christian Adeyemi, Faraz Ajmal, Jerry Hackett, Andreas Simic and Geoffrey Brewer. The order of the stanzas match the contributors 1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. My stanza was 2. Note: I made changes to allow for flow and rhyme pattern. Thanks to Brenda Chiri for sponsoring her "Guy Advice" contest. To view original artists work please look at contest results. A personal favorite for me is "Yes Dear" by Geoffrey Brewer. I hope I did justice with this piece.
