Fate is a neon-lit pinball machine
And I am a little steel ball
Dodging the "tilt" sign as best I can

How many of you remember pinball machines
How many of you don't know what they are

Anais Vionet
(a sonnet in iambic pentameter)

I was drawn to you, from the first instant
something about you aroused my senses
a message unspoken, and insistent
that could somehow bypass my defenses.

I couldn’t show it, you couldn’t know it,
so I sat quietly and ignored you.
When chasing dreams, love is unbefitting
this I’d been told, and so, it must be true.

When I met you again, you were funny,
not what I assumed, you were something new.

Hashtag, as a boyfriend, he’s been money,
such was the start of our kissing booth truth.

Like a flower
To remember me
I love women
like these beautiful sunsets
In my dreams
I love women
like a classic automobile
Of my dreams
I love wonen
like a glass of water
In the scorching heat
Of summer
To quench my thirst
I love women
Like a poem to inspire
Helps me rise
I love women
Like a verse from the bible
To enlighten my soul
I love women
But
I love you more
When I know
You are just for me
