Tell no man of you

He may come suddenly like
the wind
Your heart is captured by his
essence and you desire to open the
choice treasures of your soul before
his viewing
To soon you let his eyes savour the
subtle moves in the way you walk
In eagerness you suggest the heat of
the night before he has earned the
right to touch your cheek
Speak not to his imagination before
he has tasted the wine of your sorrow
Do not so soon throw the pearls of
your love at the feet of an ungrateful
soul to be trampled in the dust
Present to him in strains of eloquence
that his is a season of testing and he
must brave the storms of your whispering
winds, before he feels the thunder of
your passion
Tread softly on the coals of your heart's
destiny
Reveal yourself in small morsels of kindness
and test his empathy to communicate
Do not offer him the history book of your
life if he cannot read between the lines
And finally, test his faith
If he cannot be true to his God
why..would he be true to you?

Sometimes we're all a bit foolish and tend to
rush into things. Not cool.

We must test the waters. Are we speaking to
the wise one, or to the foolish. Are they given
to sudden change..here today and gone tomorrow?
Do they wear a cloak of false humility, and are
they well versed in the subtle art of flattery?
Will they tell us a thousand truth's just to destroy
us with the one big lie?
Will they do anything we ask under a false
alligence until like sheep lead to the slaughter
we are under their total control?
Just stuff to ponder.

Jim,

Of all the poems of yours that I've read ~ I think that by far ~ this is the finast.

Not only is it beautifully penned, but the contents are so meaningful and so very, very true.

If we're lucky, there may be times that we can back-track and still wind up on the path ~ other times the damage of 'too much-too soon' ~ can not be taken back.

Thank you for 'bringing this one back'.

Thank you dear. Actually I think there
may be quite a few like this one in my
batch but I'd have to dig for them. I
forget what I write after a short while.

But thank you for your kind words.
