About the Poem
This was written about a woman I was falling in love with although we had not yet met! On the phone and online she was exquisite. But would the reality measure up? I insist upon giving her the benefit of the doubt. :-)
The Voice Of Seduction |
| by Mark Acciard |
| It was another lonely evening In another lonely bar When across the crowded gathering I see, there you are Intoxicating beauty and grace and poise Seemingly unaffected by the crowd and the noise I watched you deflect suitors by the dozen Hovering about and stalking you like a coven I sat and we talked and I no longer had a choice Uncommon beauty and a lively intelligence A rare combination beneath such a lovely countenance And, oh lord, such an exquisite voice Low and breathy, full of promise The voice of seduction Eroticism, witticism, full of compassion A voice that prompts thoughts of Nights of wild abandon Of full moons.... Above warm tropical rains Of long moonlit walks on the sands Of fine wines and candlelit dinners Of mountain log cabins with crackling fires Of romantic destinations, nights filled by sighs A woman whose conversation is an event Intelligent, inventive, romantic, and heaven-sent Knowledgeable about so many subjects With a voice that entrances sweet and direct A woman's maturity and a little girl's innocence Simple naivete and seductive temptress A complex woman without a doubt A siren perhaps, singing to tout Chivalry, sensitivity, and romance Qualities begging for enhancement In men the world over Therefore the key to this maiden of myth Is to make sure that she is never bereft Of the qualities she so richly deserves Do this to ensure that her love will be preserved. |

Poet, this happens to many people. Meeting someone this way tends to make the other person something of a mystery. We 'wonder' about what we have not seen yet. I find the net a good place to meet people and make friends. Without it, we would not have the opportunity to meet them. I can most certainly relate to this. Thanks.
