Consummate Charmer

PAD Challenge day 19: For today’s prompt, write a thing poem. 

You are not much to look at

And yet, you stir in me 

Passion, allure, 

You hold a world

Of Possibility

Of flowered slope

Of hunger

Hope,

Of dreamer's paradise

How is it, you, 

Common and plain

Flirts with I-want-you-eyes 

And I, completely willing

Cannot 

Fight your straight-laced charm

But 

Like a lonely woman

I grasp your pro-offered arm

...and then we dance

A strange romance

For you follow my lead

Where I, 

A poet,

You, 

A pen

In consummate  

Rhyme,

Bleed

~Janet Martin
