Dear Reader

by Chelsey   Mar 21, 2013


Do you have time for a story?

I invite you into the home of my dismayed heart
as I tell you a tale that involves a man and a woman.
You see, this woman is me, and this man, well he
must remain unknown because it is too unsuitable
to reveal his identity.

Dear Reader,
I must talk to you about his enticement.
Imagine a face made of white gold with
eyes full of gems that are so high of value,
you could not trust yourself long enough
to stare into them.

I must describe to you in full effect
what his personality does. It manifests
in your spirit and you become so involved,
so attached, that without your consent,
it becomes an oxygenated necessity.

I am not kidding you when I say, sleeping
becomes last priority because he is
every excuse to forfeit rest, just to feel
alive in a midnight conversation.

Dear Reader,
at this point you would quit reading...
but you're wrapped in his description too.
That is the power he holds. So beautiful,
so humorous, so God awfully tempting, that
just hearing about him makes you wonder-
who is he?

I can not reveal his name, describe his location,
but I can tell you this, he deserves me.
Oh, the things I would do for him, with him,
to him; all for the sake of his happiness.
If I even make him happy (how he does me).

Dear Reader,
Know that I have brought you this far just
for my own release. I can not confront this
matter because he has made it obvious that
I...well I am just convenient while he...he
remains my every desire and tendency to write.

    OH MY QUACKING DUCKS!!! (Random I know)

    This was blooming marvellous,
    I was so caught in the descriptions, the way you drew me in with your words, pulling me towards the next line, and I was reading this fast and then thought, hang on, let me start again and some of those descriptions were like totally amazing.

    You always have the ability to make me go "WTF" with the imagery, and the emotion wasn't overly strong but I could see that this person gets you in all the wrong places but all the right ones as well, you just penned something that I think is the best piece of poetry I have read ever!!!

    Your muse can be good for you, I feel that is what you are relaying here, but the way he digs into you, is heartbreaking to feel and that came across really well.

    You are some kind of alien when you write, you're too good to be human, Chels...LOL

    LOVED IT!!

    Oh my, Chelsey! What a beautiful story you're giving us here! The starter of this piece is inviting, "Do you have time of a story?" I was like, "Sure, why not." And once I get myself to some certain part, there's something ticking inside me, like it makes me just wanna read it till the very last line.

    Now there's a few secretive part, if you know what I mean. And I liked that. 'Cause it gives the chills you're having when you're writing, when we're reading this piece. I don't know about others, but sure it gives me, lots! Even by telling a bit of the facts about this person is more than enough.

    And I sense "happiness" in here, wow, it shows just how many affection that is received there between you too. It's cute!

    Sure, you brought us up until the very last line, and that's good. And having someone that you can rely on, like you're saying in this piece, ALWAYS giving you the urge, the inspiration to write is a great way to produce more intriguing writing in the future.

    And I must say I am so in love with the last part. What a lovely ending! You leave me hanging there, like, "Oh, I'm curious what is happening between these two.. Must be something interesting!" but I'll leave to that. Your words really is amazing. I wish you both all the best in everything, hoping to read more from you. And,

    GOOD LUCK!!!
