a woman of mystery and intrigue
sometimes I wish to be
not this simple poetress
penning my heart
for all to see
if friends we are
you will know it
if friends we aren't
well you get the picture
I quiet not my pain
more often than not
it strokes the canvas
in shades of
black and blue
my tears write
trails down more faces
than my own, no
no mysteries about me
my heart is plain
lonely
for all to see
no sexy little unknowns
that peak further
investigation
no seductions to
secret away
will you find in me
just loyalty waiting
for a subject
to serve
arms waiting for
the right one to hold
so
shall I worry
shall I fret
which one might he be
and if he will love all the
ins and the outs
that I call me?
no woman of mystery and intrigue
might I be
but about one thing
my heart does rest easy
on that day
when eyes meet eyes
no pretense need spring
to my defense
the windows to my soul
tell the very heart
of me

Beautiful and simply put.  
This way is best I believe.

ok, I had thought to let this one die softly, as I didn't like it much myself, but needed to get the words out of my head so I could sleep, but just wanted to say thanks to Martie and Temptress   glad you enjoyed

There's much to be said for wearing your heart like an open books sometimes. Yes, sometimes a curse, but oh sometimes a blessing my dear friend. I guess we just need to figure out who to reveal it to and who not to. Know as always you are in my thoughts
