The “F L I R T”

How can you say you doubt my love is true,
when you are all the world to me, and more?
No more devoted could I be to you …
though true, there’s other ladies I adore.

You say that you consider me a “Flirt,”
and, oh my love, I can’t prove otherwise.
Although, my actions never meant to hurt,
it’s true I flirt, but only with my eyes.

And, now, you say that we are truly through!
Before you go, then, pray consider this:
I have an eye for other gals, it’s true …
but You, my love, the only one I kiss.

    1. Oh, you’ll win her back with this. What woman could resist such flirting? And how clever, to let her know you have a roaming eye but she’s the girl for you.
      Nicely done, Rascal.
      And what a fitting nickname for this poem😉

      • Ahhh, Dear Mary 🍒

        Without notice, how is it the site leaves me wondering why I’ve received no reviews, until I happen to stumble onto such sweetness your lovely pen’s voice has gifted one of my humble little efforts?
        You’re as playful as my poem, but much wiser ‘n freer in the gift of love’s true nature.

        Thank you, Lovely Lady-Poet, for graciously warming a grateful bard’s heart!
        Happy hugs to thee! ⁓ Rascal 🍎

    2. You truly have iambic meter down to an art, Richard, but you’ll never get away with ogling other girls at the bar. We are always watching your eyes – the windows to your soul. Kisses are a dime a dozen, but a wink in a crowded room – that’s a fortune in affection.

      • Ohhh, kind, sweet Megan ~ sighhh! 🍇

        Once more, I’m lucky to have discovered more sparkling treasure from your beautifully gifted mind ‘n heart left upon my ever-grateful page … I’m sorry to be so late in response, M’Love, it’s the site, again leaving me in the dark.
        You’ve sooo sweet bragging on my skill, but it’s yours that equals/eclipses mine in every work of yours I’ve so fully, so thankfully, enjoyed the pleasures of. x0x

        HAH! You girls are every bit as flirty as us guys … it’s when we flirt with the one we’re with that sparks truly fly, igniting a full evening’s glow into a trove of romantically sensual delights.

        WINK* ⁓ Rascal 🍓
