The Web Poetry Corner - Daniel Bradbury - Cyrano

Cyrano

by

Daniel Bradbury

I am Cyrano
I can make anyone or anything
fall in love with me
until I step from the shadow
Practical experience tells me
the only way I'll be happy
is to stay hidden
Under night and shadows

"It's too hot in the sun, anyway."

Tell that to children playing in fields
Or couples sleeping on beaches
The sun seems so warm,
so nice
But I'm restrained to seducing
lonely stragglers into my bedroom
where my lights always stay off

Tendrils of my words and personality
creep around the wall to tickle your ego
and stroke your self worth
and fill you with erotic dreams
that physical beauty has never inspired

But as you round the corner
adoration and desire fade to pleasant friendliness
in an instant of comical re-evaluation
limited wondering and "What if"'s

But the small tickle of seduction
of DESIRE will haunt you forever

"How could he reach me like that?
How could I feel that for him.
I mean, look at him.
But his words..."

You think my tongue works well just forming words?
Maybe you should get to know this Cyrano a little better
