Pen To Parchment

For Rodney Bohen...whose words have captured my imagination!

Like a sponge that sought water
she soaked up each word…
With the pain of emotions
his soul-pen had stirred.

Every crumb a full meal
saturating the senses…
Catapulting the mind
felling all her defenses.

Yet the hunger just grew
in consuming addiction…
Mesmerized by the sway
of his beautiful diction.

No other had stirred
quite the same in her heart…
Such grandeur of rapture
his words did impart.

Pen to parchment so vivid
their beauty afire…
Words danced into mind
with sheer force of desire.

With wisdom rich thoughts
inspirationally laden…
He’s captured the soul
of this awe-stricken maiden.

Melissa,
My tongue stammering and stunned pretty maiden. Sister of heart, thank you, how special you are! Im so grateful for those that can see my heart in my words, some actually think they come from imagination!
but we know better dont we Lass? You have made a tired heart quite happy this day!
I think your a grand poet Melissa, never still your pen, nor quiet the heart who shouts her words!
In thanks,
Rodney Evan Bohen
