Go away little devils,
I wanna play—don't carry me to a fire.
I just won't burn for you. Water!
I am waterproof. Crush me!
Nope, had my heart broken many times—won't hurt.
See, little devils, I'm made of dirt.
So, go away little devils;
I'm flirting with pain, and desire—
One of these days, I'm gonna learn how to eat
Fire.
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
