A Fancy Poem by Bharati Nayak

A Fancy

Rating: 5.0


I envy the newspaper
You hold in your hand
For how eagerly
Your eyes move from
Letter to letter
And you would not let it go
Before you finished reading! !

Ah, had you but held me
in your hands
Like the newspaper
Read my eyes
With the same eagerness
And would not let me go,
Before you finished reading! ! !

Now that makes me give a romantic sigh.... many a woman would give anything if her man gave her such passionate attention as he gives his bowling ball or motorcycle or favorite dinner! Love this write, Bharati, and I cannot imagine a man ignoring your sweet self! ! ! 10++++++++++++++++++++++

This is the secret wish of every wife..... or woman! We all long to be looked into our eyes to be read inside out! A deep understanding of the partner cements marital relationships! This poem is equally applicable to all relationships!

Humor is pleasantly deployed to convey sensual frustration - a good formula!

(cont.) HERE: Ah, had you held me...i think one would be a fairly sophisticated reader of English to understand that the sentence WILL be complete after the word reading. but i think it would be clearer (to me at least) if you had put but after you: Ah, had you but held me.... i wonder how an English teacher would explain that sentence's structure. bri :)

What a great concept, Bharati! I like it! For you take something so common to express a longing entirely original in my experience. Cool! Hoping this finds you well, Glen
