I Defy Anyone To Say This Isn' Pretty By Poefree

THE SHAME OF SHORTNESS It was such a small while But it made me smile A brief encounter with peace Someone whose love I truly believed just might never cease Serendipity and joy would birth it And yet brevity was worth it If only for a supremely short time She took me to a land sublime And embraced me as no other woman has before And there have been women by the score I know we were good together at least for little awhile When she came to make me smile I wanted to be one unit, one entity, one heart Whilst serendipity and joy continued to play their apropos and appropriate part And wonder was the sensation of us being united Then I, as the king of fools, was duly knighted With no sword in sheath nor shield Only the wish to know what wonder would yield It was such a short time spent resplendently As I treated the lady’s lips with gentility A kiss on the lips of a miss whose lips I miss now And if you wish to learn the way to play a game she’ll be proud to show you how With a wink and a slightly naughty nod To her wicked and wrathful god Who wouldst conceive a plan for a man to become thusly damned But in that short snippet of forever we answered only to one another’s demand Still I cannot recount without understatements a tale of my being so completely lost And swear to you that lady’s well laid plan, for me, came at quite a cost And upon this frivolous heart her name will forever be etched Similar to the painting she created and very well sketched while I wept for the love she would defile but for a sliver of the universe she came to make me smile And as for me I ain’t buying into another lady like her when this is said and done Also I vow to harness my lust until I repeat it with the very next one © 2010.…..free cee!
