She reveals herself…
Like a blossoming flower…
A tiny bit more…
Every time he sees her…
She’s whispering secrets…
And constantly teasing…
A glimpse of something…
Distracting and deceiving…
Each different adventure…
Slowly painting a picture…
Of what it could be like…
If he was with her…
From the refined splendour…
To her seedy dark side…
The Black, White and Grey…
And all the colours, amplified…
That simply radiate…
From each and every pour…
As he gazes upon her…
Always wanting more…
Willing to give himself…
Commit fully to her…
Becoming just one…
Completing the transfer…
And losing himself…
In her constant maze…
Her dazzling bright lights…
And her seductive ways…
That simply enthral…
And bind him in raptures…
Keep him running back…
Always trying to capture…
The Butterflies he feels…
When he begins to explore…
Her forbidden side…
Behind every locked door…
Because she holds his heart…
And as the grip grows stronger…
He’s not sure if he’ll be able…
To resist her much longer…

Great image, poem and song!
Thank you Jamie – really kind of you to say – Cheers J
Great post!
Thanks! Cheers J
Nice one. cW
Much appreciated – Cheers J
Beautiful poem. Awesome!
Thank you for your kind words – Cheers J
You are most welcome.
Love this one, J! 🙂
Thanks – this one isn’t actually about a person 😉 – Cheers J
Hmmm. Interesting… ^^
Haha – yeah, the inspiration wasn’t what it appears, but I think it works on both levels. Cheers J
Another secret you’re keeping from me, ey? 😉
Well, as it’s you… this one is about London and my visits there. More specifically, my need to run there… I like secrets and keeping words open ended – I read quite a few poem blogs that have commentry, but I seldom do that as I like peoples personal interpriation – Sometimes people are way off my initial idea, but it gives me a different perspective and food for thought – I like that – it bedazzles me 😉 – Cheers J
Aww, thank you ^^ I know what you mean. Readers often don’t see/know your thoughts behind the poem and that causes them to interpret them differently. It can indeed be interesting to see all this different interpretations. Gives you another viewpoint on your own work. It bedazzles you for sure 😉
Indeed, but the intial thoughs can be sadly quite mundane! Hope you feel better soon – Cheers J
That’s true. I often don’t comment because I haven’t got much to say. And thank you; hope so too ^^
When I say mundane – I mean my intial thoughts on how to start my poems – then they take on a life of their own… Cheers J

Thank you so much for the nomination, it really means a lot to me. I am not one who follows the rules on these, however I would like to invite you to be a guest poet, so I can feature your work and blog – if you are willing, please email me a poem to eyewillnotcry@hotmail.co.uk – Cheers J
Hi, thanks for your reaction.
Here is a poem by me:
Greenbottle flies
Scores of shiny green flies
on such a small piece of street
“Why are you,
so beautiful,
together on that dog turd?”
“Food!”
(WP won’t let me comment on our previous conversation, so I’ll just start a new reply)
Misunderstood you there then. Still know what you mean, though ^^ Sometimes our words seem to write us, instead of the other way around…
Just re-read your poem, by the way. And it really works! Your longing for London is so clearly expressed and I can feel how much you must miss it. And the songs goes great with it all, too! 🙂
No worries and thank you! Cheers J
Keep writing! 😉
I’ll try! Cheers J
