Come Visit Me

You read out of obligation, a tit for tat consolation... a "thank you for your visit" affirmation it's cool, this unspoken rule I do it too, so what’s new? It's only being civil community code of camaraderie who can break free? It needs to be done loyalties need to be won so does the "comment hit and run" then on to another one I appreciate that, truth be told this give and take system should hold on poetic pleasantries, I am sold “Reciprocity” is gold Oh, but that's not quite the same as being sure that you came because I'm a favorite name in your poet hall of fame Come goaded by greed desperate to feed voyeuristic as I bleed needing my pain to be freed Come craving my rhyme fix the potency of this mix my poetic party tricks Come click for the best picks Read the poet pillaged by pain who's been baptized by rain holding on to the sane let me battle your bane Read me because you know you need me to grow Dip in the stream of this flow words above, words below Read and be set on fire by word kindling of desire Flames that lick passion higher making each thought perspire Obligation is overrated though my words might be dated the ideas? NOT antiquated to existence they’re related Come visit me Come here so you’ll see Passion infused poetry that melds you and me Eileen Manassian
