Tameless

Sunshine glistens in your dark raven hair
It causes your devotees to stop and stare
I think that you are oblivious and unaware
Your label should say please handle with care

You are a rare creature I must declare 
Why can't you be tamed? Must I beware?
I want to touch and ride you across the Delaware 
But I’m terrified of your penetrating glare

This is really nice. I was at first thinking it was a woman. But now I am thinking it's an animal. Ride it across the Deleware. Hmmmm.

Another eye-opener, Alexis. You be a on a roll right now. The power of seduction is real. Well told in this cautionary tale. Outstanding poem. Love and hugs.

What a fascinating write, Alexis. Leaves one wanting to read more!! :) Thanks for the visit. I'm on holiday in Cyprus, so I haven't been active much. Hugs, dear.

Wow! This one knocks me upside the head. I think I'd turn tail and run from this critter. Some great lines, but more than that this poem does a tap dance on my brain cells and I get that "Wow" thing. Going into my faves. Hugsnickles ~ j
