Svelte & Smart Poem by John Sensele

Dear heart, fear no part
Fed on sorrow when a bed heads for tomorrow
Sauntering, singing, saluting art
Entwined with goodwill in a glow

Love lifts with gifts
Pouring forth
From a femme fatale who shifts
From freak femininity to a gradual growth
Into an appreciation of reasoned relationships
That considers gender gymnastics
From a motive that equips
Men and women with more than Physics and Metaphysics

While dipping into a dominant dose
Of interactions in which each heart
Wins without Rose
Stopping her search to grow svelte and smart.
