For My Children

My child you need a new love

that hasn't yet been created

a new love waiting to be created by you

that hasn't been degraded

a fresh start

that by evil has yet to be dissuaded


you must teach yourself a new way

that hasn't been clouded

by my poor judgement

a new reality

that hasn't been ruined

by my hate and greed

a sense of safety

based upon only the purest of your needs


My child you must listen

only to the pure good

that flows within you

the wonders that haven't been tainted

by the world and the mistakes I've made

you must feel the joy

that hasn't been twisted

by my selfishness


My child

you must

seek out all the good around you

worship it

and never falter.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

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.
