Listen to poem:

Scorpio

Don't claim that you know me don't even try You don't have the tools to open that door, no matter how hard you pry If I share part of me with you you're only getting what I offer My thoughts are constantly evolving and could not fit anyone's coffer I would rather tell you the truth, and bare all of your ire Then spend a second with you, if you' are a ____ liar If you play games with me do not be surprised When I decide to play too, and expose all of your lies However if your fourth right in showing patience with me I will show you a depth of love, your life never thought it would see If you expect that I will chase you, be prepared to want a lot more I'm likely to barely say goodbye, but I'll happily open the door I'm not the type of person, that lives to forgive and forget But if you earn friendship with me, I'll take your place in hell, with no regret If you find yourself my lover, you have won life's greatest prize For after you've been cherished by me, no other will catch your eyes The best moments in my life, are the ones that no one else will ever know Loving, loyal, intuitive and passionate, I am a Scorpio

I had to listen to this one, Scorpio. It's about as good a raw truth telling of our nature... You covered in depth each of the character traits you mentioned in your last line.

It's regrettable that we are misunderstood by so many people thinking that we have ulterior motives. Or a desire to manipulate. All we really want, it's to share deep loyalty, and unwavering affection. Spending our whole life seeking loves that engulf our soul. Warmly A.S.

Welcome to Lifetime Premium, Scorpio. I like the introduction and the sincere message. I am an Aquarious but find much agreement with your words and philosophy as I understand it. If truly true, we have a great deal in common. A (hope to be) poet friend in Texas, Bill p.s. I'll read more later, and follow your poetry ... no time right now. Bill

I am a Leo, lol, they are loyal as well. Such an intriguing I Am poem, Scorpio, a confidence you see seldomly. It's got a Banksy vibe to it, mysterious! ~I Am Anaya
