Betray not the moment with
Blusher and brush, eyeliner,
Mascara, a girl in a rush …
Not quite the tone I had in mind.
Truth is I promised a lady I’d write,
With some heartfelt emotion, some
Words she might like, and so here
You find me in thought at my desk,
Where promises made, will be promises
Kept.
In the beginning there was a word
And the word was poetry, a word that
Meant so much to so many. In the
Beginning the word was lost for a name,
Many pondered the subject and soon the
Time came to Christen this most sensual,
Most meaningful of all words, and the
Name chosen was love.
Come my sweet distraction and I will
Write you a dream. I will disrobe
You with words and although you have
Never seen me you will fall in love with
My words and I with yours. I will bathe
You with words, paint you with words
And you will feel my words coursing
Through your body. There will be nowhere
My words haven't touched before finally
Coming to rest in your heart.
You may not be an angel and maybe
There are none and if there are none then
The world is a poorer place, but I don't
Believe that, for I am a dreamer and when
I dream my dreams include angels, and I
Have seen you there.
Inspired by a light of extraordinary
Power, I will finish this work with,
A smile in my heart, you’re a girl in a
Million, a friend through and through,
My poetic side is enhanced knowing
You.

You drench her with the power of words and give them a life of dynamism. Great write! Please check out my "When Evil is God" and feel free to comment or make constructive criticism. That is how I hope to grow in my new passion. Thanks.
Thank you, I am most grateful for your comments, and I will be round to read your work later in the day. My thanks again. Joe
Absolutely love this style in which you write about you loved one. The exprssion is powerful, meaningful and gratefully writing from within your stunning mind. Keep this work up, please...
Thank you Kevin, The lady for whom I wrote this piece is a friend who at a time when I was in two minds about poetry somehow steered me back onto the tracks from which I'd slipped. I owe her much. Thank you again for your very kind comments. Joe
This is beautiful
Thank you, I truly appreciate your comment. Joe
Your opening stanza is super.. and the tale you tell, or recount flows nicely... but I must confess, I am not a fan of your chosen font...
For those of us with less than perfect vision, it can be very distracting .... this is not a criticism of your writing and I hope my comment here is taken in the spirit in which it was intended....

Of course Neville, but there are many who do like it. I will look for something in the middle. Many thanks, Joe
Yes, absolutely.. you must go with what you feel is best for you and your posts... Neville
That fortunate lady will be sure to treasure this most romantic slice of your gift for words Joe ........ an amazingly powerful read.
Yes dear Fay, I believe she does, she told me so and thus I am thrilled twice over both by my friends kindness and your liking it too. I am very lucky, in fact my cup runneth over. Many thanks, Joe

Laura,
Yes, I think it highly possible that she does and has tucked my words away somewhere very special.
