She Comes At Night

She calls at random hours And settles by my side Provoking while she whispers Appealing to my pride. I know that she adores me We are so mad in love We’re made just for each other A match of hand and glove. She teases and I answer To her demand, her plea We are on the same wavelength She has her way with me. In the end she leaves in silence I can sleep but only when I recover my composure And my thoughts I put to pen. ------------------------------------------------------------- Contest: A poem you have not entered in a contest #8 Sponsor: Poet Destroyer A Placing: 3rd

Thank you for the nice compliment, Paul. You are one of the few who have noticed my new avatar. Photography is another hobby of mine, and I took this photo just the other day!....And it does reflect my style of poetry, being both dark and light, and mysterious!

Hi Kelly...that's a lovely photo...how could I not notice it! And yes, I found both versions of "Poetry After Midnight". You too receive night calls!:)

This is a lovely poem, Paul, and it is one that I can really relate to. My muse comes at night, too, and there is no way that I can sleep when the voice of inspiration is whispering in my ear. Congratulations on your well deserved win!.... I wrote a poem on the same subject titled, "Poetry After Midnight".

Hi Justin. Any muse has to be tempered and pampered, otherwise she might go and not return again! // paul

Very well expressed. I felt a little uncomfortable for you... be a trite more assertive the next time she drops by. She will soon tire of taking the lead.surprise her. lol

I'll have to take your advice :) Thanks for dropping by. // paul
