Beguiling by Joe CramerIn our conversations I am elated
At the thought, at the prospect
Of learning so much more of you.
When we speak, I smile, though
Very wary of the passage of time,
Not that I am keeping track.
In our conversations I am smiling
While you are always so beguiling,
Longing for longer conversations. 03/28/2007 Author's Note: Thrude II

Posted by Jeffrey Parren on 03/28/07 at 05:16 PM I enjoy your use of "beguiling" in this as the title and in the next to last line. Usually you think of it in a negative connotation but this flips it wonderfully. I just had a conversation last night that I wanted to never end but knowing there would be more made it ok. I am there with ya! ~JPP |
Posted by Genevieve Sturrock on 03/28/07 at 05:32 PM Really like this! Interesting how different people view different words. Beguiling has always been charmingly elusive to me. |
