His Name Is Poetry

His Name is Poetry


I have a new friend, a new love
He dances with his pure and honest heart
And strokes me with his gentle words
I crave him, desire him more with each passing day
Oh, what deep feelings he has stirred within me
He carries me joyfully, sometimes sadly, on a journey
From moment to hour to the day’s end
With his words, rhythmically he calms and soothes me
As does a mother cooing to her precious newborn
With a love as strong and as real
I can not, will not, be without you
You have entered my life swiftly, silently
Yet your power yells loudly, beckons me to follow
In your footsteps, to see where you go
Where you will take me, my love,
Poetry

This is exactly how I feel. It is as though you have peeked inside my soul and written it for the world to see. He is the most charming of all the loves I have known. Hmmm... is he cheating on me since you know him so well. LOL Have a great day! Lovely writing. Smiles from Lolita~ btw, thank you for reading and commenting on my writing.
