Lay Open the Envelope

one thing as one shan't e'er do
to see flesh only as fair beauty
open this the envelope of me
experience more than you could see
'tis all I should ask of you

sagaciously see my orb of gaiety
and fathom some intimate mystery
witness within the lee of me
this envelope that is for thee
and not for all the world to see

in this envelope seek a multitude of things,
as shy erudite wisdom, burning bright
that would for thee as ochroid word shall sing
long and true into the depths of night
see thee what this envelope would bring

that this envelope would envelop thought
of what confidence might be sought
of what indeed this envelope brought
once now that your attention is caught
indeed, 'tis so, t'would it be your lot

to envelop the envelope that carries me
in these words that you in solemn solitary see

Very nicely done KJ,  yes,  we should look

outside, shouldn't we?

Perhaps, I see hints of McKeuen in here.  Ready to be post paid.

Thank you.

Our "envelope's" have surprises inside sometimes.....
some good, but some bad....

ah yes, so much more for those who will take the time to read what's inside--enjoyed, very creative perspective!!
