The Prose Solicits the Person

Fairy Tales and as you wishes have warped my mind Cause with you I have come to find Like Icarus to the sun, and Annabel Lee to the sea There's something about your smile that compels me Like a moth to the flame I long to whisper your name So let the Sirens sing their song And I will blithely hum along But as I slip my little black dress on I wonder could this be a lasting bond Or like Eleonora in The Valley of the Many-Colored Grass Am I destined to fall on my ass Unfortunately, that last sentiment can not matter Because as everyone knows, it's all about the happily ever after For the contest Edgar Allan Poe ref Annabel Lee and Eleonora in The Valley of the Many-Colored Grass

hey, I really like this. and it is a tiny bit like a poem of mine!! That theme of happily ever after. How it enraptures and enslaves the young womens' minds. Nice meeting you and I hope all your poems are this enjoyable.
