Player Poet

Alluring me with your words, you did
In bits and littlest tunes, I was in
With soft rhymes, I became the theme
Each stanza you knitted, I found the answers

Lucky me, my cheerfulness exceeded
Lucky me, each new composition endeared
Lucky me, I was a kid again
Running and laughing in the meadows without care 

But why was the polish so confusing? 
Why were there more questions than answers?
Why were the signs so risky?
Why did your massaging arms only leave trauma? 
Poet's muse not captivating anymore
Blinding words, of a poet player

The player poet seems so omnipotent and impenitent...He gets it all despite the unanswered questions.7++++++
