Tell It Like It Is
He still can’t call to mind their first meeting
But as they saw each other more frequently
She spoke to him in the inaudible language of her eyes
And was bewitched by the clear glow on her face
Like magnet to a piece of metal, he was drawn to her.
When she whispered love’s veiled message
With haunting echoes faintly singing
He found nothing to match her melodic musing
And felt his desires taking a headlong ride
His heart opening to the seamless web of dreams
Never had he known love’s balmy touch before.
As her words fell on him like ambrosia from heaven,
Sweet and fragrant sensations danced within his brain
A pleasant ache tickled him from inside
And he exploded with an inexpressible yearning
But when he talked of living as man and wife,
She kept a clever silence, never letting her heart out
She was like a clam tightly sealed, not opening up
He wondered if their love was dripping away like wax
How he wished she had unplugged and told it like it is!
