CAPITAVATION

You did not deceive me for what man alike I have never seen You captivated and you held me in a long-lost dream I knew from beginning that you were not real I needed to give, and God sent you here Whether test for me if so, I have failed I let myself be tempted by what we call male You are not just male you are every essence of man I thank you and thank God that man still remains Maybe my perception of you is more stupendous than you are You have showed me man is not extinct then I am for sure There may be one, two or a few dozen more I am thankful to you for what I thought I would never find The idea of man I had conjured in my mind

Dear Willette, your poem is beautifully expressive and impressive. I was especially struck by "Maybe my perception of you is more stupendous than you are".. your introspection is indeed captivating. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Thank you, my dear Susan. Now in memory; my perception of him was much better than he was. Take care!
