Ditherly Lines

he said it was just a line
that really drew him in
that lent self from my pen
a slender line to win
a glance
perchance
it did
his Id

he said it was just a word
that really caught his eye
for he saw the truth, no lie
there upon the by and bye
a peek
to seek
to find
his mind

he did not know I wrote for him
a message wound so tight
there throughout the night
to be found in spider’s lace at light
a being
entangled
in words
that jangle

but he doesn’t know that I know
that he looks right ... here
for the truth comes out just so
when he doesn’t look with fear
a line
too taut
for one
just caught

so I let him be.

This is a fun read. The rhyme scheme you have here gives this a very cool rhythm that just bounces off the tongue. I like the message of it to, and the ending.
Enjoyed it.

"spiders lace at light"  LOVED THAT!
Wonderful flow.  You have such an individual refreshing writing style!  I truly enjoyed!
