You Rhyme me out of my mind

You Rhyme me out of my mind

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

You Rhyme me out of my mind

 

 

 

your contrary nature

 

leaves me clueless

and quizzified 

your true/false plurality

leaves me breathless

and stupefied

your exceptional beauty

leaves me speechless

and mesmerized

 

I've said so many words

to you in my head

but none of them 

would raise your notice of me

from the dead

 

state, so I will take the route

most dignified

and talk to you in my sleep

let my feelings run deep

so you can keep

me at heart's length

with my perverse

verse

straining for another glance

another chance

to be emulsified

 

in your rapture.

the title is fab. Beautiful lines these are,
"I've said so many words
to you in my head
but none of them
would raise your notice of me
from the dead"

Another beautiful piece of write, like always. Enjoyed reading it. Thanks Jacob.
