Woo Me

ask me a riddle
one that's not hard
and with it i'd fiddle
and tear it apart
search for the words
in meticulous ways
looking for clues
to remove me from the maze

tell me a story
one that's not long
and i'd listen with interest 
and follow along
and try to learn your yearnings
if your stories have morals
would they have happy endings
are there parts where the story curls


write me a song
with words of love
sing my name take me above 
convince the world
melt my heart 
make me believe in your art
hypnotize me with harmony
and sing to me until sadness leaves

paint my portrait
nothing fancy mind you
features are important
so don't spare the youth
paint me as you see me
I want to know the truth
if you paint my picture
can you see me loving you

show me your expression
look at me and smile
is your smiling laughter
let it linger for a while
can your eye's tell me
what you feel right now
is the feeling sexy
or can you show me how

am i asking to much
for this one time meeting
maybe you can come again
and we can call this dating

We all question and wonder about our perception on how people look at us or what they think of us. Most of the time we read to much into things . My portrait of John Loving ii is that of wonderful, warm loving man. His last name says it all "loving" not only once but thrice. God Bless Phyl
