Willette Harmon Poet Rhyme

CAPITAVATION

You did not deceive me for what man alike I have never seen
You captivated and you held me in a long-lost dream
I knew from beginning that you were not real
I needed to give, and God sent you here
Whether test for me if so, I have failed
I let myself be tempted by what we call male
You are not just male you are every essence of man
I thank you and thank God that man still remains
Maybe my perception of you is more stupendous than you are
You have showed me man is not extinct then I am for sure
There may be one, two or a few dozen more
I am thankful to you for what I thought I would never find
The idea of man I had conjured in my mind
