Homographs In Poetry

words are homographs if they are spelled the same way but differ in meaning 

 
I READ between the lines and all that I have READ is confusing!
You tell me you feel so CLOSE, yet when I CLOSE my eyes, you're gone!

You are the ENTRANCE to my heart and you ENTRANCE me,
like the WIND and I WIND up once more, your puppet.

I wish I could RECORD your love on a RECORD for all to hear,
It would be a magical CONCERT, instead I must CONCERT energy.

If not, I  would PRESENT you with the greatest PRESENT 
One of Cupid who shot his BOW causing you to alas, BOW to me.
