Take Me Poem by David Whalen

Take me…
Take me away.

Into your world
By the words that you say

Sweep me up
In your imaginations

Allow me to see
Your poetic fabrications

You know you want it…
You wantonly wish that I may

heed you…read you
And go all the way

Into private rooms
Deep within your mind

Places proffered shamelessly
To all manner, ilk and kind

You allow access to readers…
Be they all total strangers

Ever Shielded from contact…
From intimate dangers

Don’t deny you take pleasure..
From the comments you get

Don’t forgo the treasure
Of the kind words…and yet

You’re leading me into
The keeps of your mind

Guiding me knowingly
As one would the blind

So Take me and teach me
I’ve no more to say…except

Write beautifully, poetically
Let your words lead me astray

I’m open to anything
Take me away
