Look At Me by Poetree1x: 1:18pm On Nov 16, 2023 |
Will you glance my way, and in your eyes, will there be a ray? Or will anger, your attention sway, to acknowledge me, what do you say? What makes you unique?, pray tell, Why should I smile, under your spell? No, your wishes, I won't compel, What is it that you seek to impel? For I see you gazing, yet no return, Am I not a magician, something to discern? A smile perhaps, is what you yearn, Just give me a moment, a chance to learn. I stare, at that persistent grin, Magician, show me your win. No, I won't yield, that's not in my kin, Why this anger, what's within? But still. you fail to truly see, My aim is laughter and glee. Come on, a smile, just let it be, It's amusing, a bit, you'll agree. If you wish, I'll gaze more keen, A clown, you say, a dull scene. I said no, quit asking, don't intervene, This is amusing, a fact so keen. Please, look, observe with delight, I can turn around, make it right. No, clowns steal, a dubious sight, But I'll grant a smile, a token so bright https://poetree.ca/post/6553089c9955ff3a21f17a3d Author - Yours only. |
