I will acknowledge
that I had an affair
I love metaphors
creating imaginary worlds
A written tapestry
Seduced by alliteration
I had an affair
with the craft of language
I’m enthralled by
the layers and symbolism
I’m engaged
to a place to release my tension
I’m in a atmosphere
where I’m understood
I’m in a whirlwind
where I’m forever lost
I’m pulled in
by the legacy of poets
Desiring to fulfill
a long winded fantasy
The affair will continue….
Invincible Verses 
mmmm – yes. Yes, it should continue. And let me be your voyeur.

As I read it, I thought: “Why do you keep saying that you HAD an affair?” and then I read the last line. Yup. Now, that makes sense. Carry on.

The truth for all true poets. Unfortunately for some, the affair with words often spills over to become an affair with the poet.
