do you swear(?) ...

a man knows
when a thing
has gone awry

(as)

a woman knows
her plan
worked

a man knows
when a thing
has gone on high

(as)

a woman knows
her form
lurked

a man knows
when a thing
pleads ignite

(as)

a woman knows
her plead needs
a light

so
man of my ear
keen sense
will you lend(?)
read upon these deep
reap upon these long

this meal is for two
who share feast's bounty
fruits of love
in abundance
do you swear(?)

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

M.A., what a curious piece of writing... I like it, but I don't know why. (and that seems okay)

I must echo Claire, but for the life of me...I know!

thanks all for reading ... my heart has been captured these past few days with truth, compromise, reconciliation and commitment ... the read is somewhat cryptic, but i hope that helps to clear things up, Sunshine and Claire?
