He Said, I Said



He said, “Hear me.”
I said, “What?”
He said, “Love me.”
I said, “How?”
He said, “Kiss me.”
I said, “When?”
He said, “Know me.”
I said, “Who?”
He said, “Come to me.”
I said, “Where?”
He said, “I’m leaving.”
I said, “Why?!”

She was a poet's dinner
He was her bottle of red
As the ballad progressed
The verses undressed
Until everything had been said

She was cool and he was full
So she said, Well, what do you think?
And the similes and the metaphors
Dumped themselves in the sink

Sometimes you start a poem and it gets stuck and you think, why did I do that? Anyway - good to have you drop by. BTW - did you know that when you click on words in your profile it brings up other blogs with similar interests? Therefore if you put your favourite poets in your profile, you'll find others who share your love for that poet.

Some kind of a poetry chain going on? Here's my two cents.
---
Late in the evening, after dinner was done;
So much unsaid, no battles won,
He said, "There's one thing I got to confess;
I'm gay but I still want you nevertheless".
---
No, not me, I'm not :D Was just wondering what would rhyme with "confess" and worked out this ending. Sorry if it spoiled the mood. OK, a little less killjoy:

"He said, there's one thing I got to confess,
That this is going nowhere, how about some chess?"

Or something a bit more romantic:

"He said, there's one thing I got to confess,
I'm torn by your indifference, all I want is your caress."

Cheers!
