THE LOVER WITH NO RESUME

Talking To Myself . . . .

I could swear you had the shape

of something human.

To reach and touch you,

belies my thoughts of demon.

In your strong embrace,

I feel most secure.

Maybe a little too close

to a strange nature.

I see your grin too large,

your laugh, a howl . . .

Your eyes and their bright gleam

outshine any owl.

What are you now . . .

please tell me true?

I am starting to feel drained

by you . . . .
