Drawn in three stanzas

Posted Feb 6, 2010 · 13 lines

Drawn in three stanzas

My dialogue
Your intellect
Both intertwined
Demand much respect

Subtle complexities
Written on your mind
With each and every stanza
I draw your interest each and every time

Interested for more and more
Having to follow a myriad of words
Thirsty for my flow, just like water
As a fish stranded ashore
