Such power you hold over me Not unlike the power you claim When you have me your sights How you can lift me up high Raise me to the highest heights With just a knowing smile For so you do beguile. How I pray you will lay me down And raise yourself above me Feeling all your passion's flare As I gaze into your eyes See the love residing there With just your knowing smile For so it does beguile. But then the thought occurs to me You are feeling just the same Making silent prayer of sighs I'll take you and lay you down So you can gaze in my eyes With just a knowing smile For so we do beguile. ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

lovely!! well written... this one's smooth! i love the closing line of each stanza repeating, "For so we do beguile"...a very enjoyable read (but really, if i were you, i wouldn't allow me to have such power over you... LOL  ) |

Wil, Begin the beguile, is what I say. Be well Kethry. "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Wilfred~ Such beguiling thoughts to stir the day. I enjoyed this one from title, that drew me in, to closing. Guess you could say I was beguiled. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Romance suits you just fine and you make it shine in every way. Wonderful penning by you once more. |

Doreen- Thanks - and you're too modest - all the men are in your sway, not just me LOL  Kethry- Cole Porter roll over, a new song for the milennium eh? Thanks  Marge- No boogers or poopoo here.

Nan- "Begin the Beguile" eh? Sounds good - you write the music - I'll write the words - or if you'd rather I'll do music - you do words.  ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

I'm partial to repeating lines/words in a poem. It hits the message home....just as you did here....and very beautifully I might add ...chanson~ Music, tonal clear & pure, Caresses the harshest of curves. -Song of Gesture |

Martie- All the while I thought beguile came from a smile yet in my trance I learned a dance beguile begets romance for so a poet short on rhymes even at the best of times leans on words some call crimes Thanks Martie DDGoose- I will keep trying - thank you Chanson- the repeating form - is where I'm least comfortable - so I work on it harder - thank you |
