ME

Read my poetry    
Let my words    
Captivate your curiosity      
Not my avatar!    
My photograph      
Is a snap shot      
Of an emotion    
Set in motion      
By my composition...    
I'm not interested      
In an illicit  
proposition
Even if the content  
Is explicit!
     
If you can't      
Perceive my poetry    
How can you presume      
To understand      
ME?    
     
If you can't be absorbed      
By my verses      
You can't possibly      
Be interested in    
ME!    
     
You think a rose    
Will impress me    
And win you my favor?    
     
If you can't adore      
My prose    
How can you propose    
To love      
ME?    
     
You'll never taste      
The flavor    
Of my parted lips...    
You'll never sway    
The rhythm of my hips    
Or inspire my pen!    
     
I am my poetry!    
     
Seek me through my words!    
     
Only then can you recognize      
The real me, enough    
To love    
or hate      
ME!!!!
