Woman is the devil, this can be disputed
I offer proof that cannot be refuted
No other impact, can one leave on man
Than whence comes into a picture, a woman
Sure, she is capable to bringing peace to a war
Lest not forget that that war brought on by her
Oh certainly she is desired for that of a relationship
In [...]

Once there was such a request
To write a poem of my ability at best
Of a coconut to which I derived
A man on an island a woman no longer survived
Once I was asked to write of a watermelon
A story conjured of actions almost to those of a felon
Where is it do these words have I drawn
At [...]

The barometer by which we are measured
The sum of all parts that have been gathered
May only be known as the Day of Judgment
Through this journey of life and by how we have lived
To pray that we have done more good than had sinned
Not that there need be a balance for atonement
For it is not in [...]

If there be a time to write such a prose
It would be now, I do suppose
An award winning piece for all to read
This only a sample, only a seed
I offer many wonderful works to display
Certainly, not now, not today
Perhaps if there is such an interest
Then such an offering, I couldn’t resist
I am an unknown ready [...]

It wasn’t that long before I last wrote
A winning poem for you to vote
To be pretentious and claim that this verse
To be best of and even that of first
That title be held by an earlier submission
This only a little prose for intermission
Expect there to be more on the way
As I have been writing day after [...]

I am full of love, yet empty.
I am smiling, and yet not happy.
I am stagnant, and yet ever moving.
I am of this world, yet alone.
I am the life of the party, and have no home.
I am a warm heart, yet it of stone.
I am discreet, yet too open.
I am who which I am.
I am all [...]

On you this is of no reflection
I write this with the greatest of in trepidation
For me the seduction was part of the chase
That moment relived day after day
When I see in you joy that we bring together
I enjoyed, too, our moments of candor
It has been long since I have had reason to be
You certainly stirred [...]

Early, I read into those words that you had written
Far much more than you may have wanted to have given.
I hope that somehow, the time that we had spent together
Means as much to you, as I will always treasure.
I know that in comparison, I am unable to compete
No matter what can be said, I can [...]

Your words are a constant echo in my heart
Your touch I have longed for from the start
Your smile has given me reason for pause
Your drink, we shall share with our straws
