Paul Callus Poet Light Verse

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.

Kelly Deschler July 1, 2014 at 12:03 AM 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!

Kelly Deschler June 30, 2014 at 5:06 PM 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". Paul Callus June 30, 2014 at 5:12 PM Thank you Kelly; so glad you enjoyed it. I believe that many of us poets receive these kinds of nightly visits! I will make it a point to go find and read your "Poetry After Midnight". cu // paul // ps love your latest avatar...mysterious light and dark:)
