Click hereI take such an irrational delight in you
that I'm sure I flirt and tease and maybe even
tempt
but if you were ever to act
my pretty head would babble
of long distances and younger men and older women
and my unapologetic heart would bubble
with logistics-conquering true-love
and with all that noise
I'd never tell you
that if you would just put on your silvery armor
and claim your princess
she'd reward you with her seductive gifts
even though I'd guess
I'd soon begin to fret
that shinier princesses might catch your eye
or that my own glow would fade
and I'd wonder
if irrational delights are better than irrational lovers.

Belegonabout 19 years ago...we are so often afraid of taking and the hard truth that perhaps a fantasy is better unfulfilled. I really enjoyed this LadyJeanne...
thebulletover 19 years agoI was on the other side of one of these romances, and the insecurities work both ways: She's far too worldly, too sophisticated, to stay with a young nobody after the initial thrill wears off.
This is a poem that speaks to everyone in a relationship.
Honey123over 19 years agoI love this poem. It touches my heart and makes me smile a "I knew this soooo well"...

herecomestherainover 19 years agoYou speak so clearly of the longing, uncertainty, fear, the want for action and the terrible risk that is caring for someone, an irrational heart indeed. Spoke to me. Lovely stuff! I liked the rhythm of the structure as well, that sort of stream of internal dialogue feel is perfect for the content.
rikaaimover 19 years agoI find this to be a perfect representation of what we all feel at one point with a person. You know just what words to use to kindle the feelings that every person shares. It's a universal truth that you bring to light and make known to those who might not want to admit it. Way to go. I hope you continue to keep submitting. I'll be sure to keep an eye open for you.
Lisa Dentonover 19 years agoI don't know much about poetry but I know what I like, and I really liked this, lovely.
Daisy Mayover 19 years agoVery nice poem. I think if you would cut some of the "and" words, it would really help this out. Thanks for sharing.
