She intimidates me I must confess

Although she really sparks my interest

Began as a simple exchange of dialogue

No ulterior motives, no fog

Trying different tactics to keep her attention

Unsure what topics I could mention

Using different scenarios to spark conversation

I had to step back to picture the situation

We shared a vibe, but what is the angle

Only a spider spins a web without a tangle

Her walk is fierce as she appears to float

Her diction, her paraphrases and quotes

Extensive knowledge of politics

Even her ideas on ethics

She can simplify concepts thought to be beyond her

It requires special eyes to see wonder

Possessing qualities which are so Faberge

Simultaneously a woman and a lady

Where is the discrepancy should I dare look

She is the living definition from a textbook

Is she a figment of my imagination

Or am I disillusioned by our situation

Do other women inhabit the same plane mentally

I dug a pit and built a pedestal unintentionally

I did not perceive her as a sexual being

I just viewed her as this intricate thing

Someone convoluted and esoteric

With an appreciation for the simplistic

Although she appreciates my reasonings

She identifies better with my analogies

Our topics were never wanton on the surface

But the undertone began to have a purpose

My mind my mouth and my muscle

My talent is my curse, with that I tussle

My lifestyle was comfortable

My existence was not meaningful

I was a lifeless fish in an aquarium

Before we coalesced, my waters were requiem

It was if her voice was my revival

I clung to each word for survival

Her aura of love was deluxe

I envisioned us as swans not ducks

In her I find refuge from uncertain harm

I gain her affection not by quark but by charm

She has the ability to humble me with just a glance

Her words are not always as potent as her actions

I fear what I do not understand

Studiously I attempt to comprehend

She teaches me how to surrender

Even when I have nothing to render

I am but an irrational dreamer

Enchanted by this Muse like Diva

I think this is a wondefully creative piece of work with ryhme throughout; forged into a entertaining poem written by a poet with a talent for word smithing.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
