What Can You Do With a Romantic Poet

~

What can you do with a romantic poet,
flowery words he does drape
Lost in a garden of endless love poems,
seems that there is no escape

Luring you in with his lines of affection,
painting the sky tangerine
Strolling along down a path of desires,
lost in an autumn moonbeam 

Writing a sunset of pure inspiration,
pouring his heart in a phrase
Singing a song of a butterfly dancing,
amidst the warmest of days

Yes, what can you do with a romantic poet,
I guess you could just look inside
Open your heart for you know that you want to,
no matter how much you hide

Or you could scroll down past every poem,
that flows from his amorous pen
And look for another that’s more to your liking,
but beware…he is writing again

Love this bit of introspective psychoanalysis, esp. the 'light-hearted' ending. Super-write, Mr. Romantic! Happy Wednesday! ~ Gershon (Typed from my Lookout-for-those-Romantics-Post)
