Him

bemused charm is something unthought
laughter trapped here in my naked love
hot desire suddenly
his smile the world

Hmmm. Looking at the prose above I guess your celebrating having sex.

You're right about the sex, but prose? It's a poem! Well, it was supposed to be a poem. It's the only piece of poetry that I've ever written, so I'm not really sure how poetry is supposed to work.

Well I've written quite a bit been at it since I was 13 or so, and this looks great for me.

Why has no more been writ?
This possesses soul and wit.
Something boding deep inside
Can erupt in prose with pride.

Cast your cares behind the pen
Relive emmotions way back when
That's the poets fear and joy.
Words are the tools we employ.
