Love Poem: The Dilettante

The Dilettante

Oh the thrill of being aloof,
untouchable by the mundane
The Dilettante loves this place

The throngs of people to wander through
Sampling strengths and weaknesses
Always looking to bring down the haughty

But to build a desire in the weak
to have that power over their passions
to create that allure at will

That is his calling.

Many a supple soul
has fallen into his eyes
Those lips that speak so softly

Whispering things the heart longs to hear

He knows that he is missing something
The puzzle of his heart incomplete
The pieces not quite fitting

He continues his quest 
through the crowds in the square
Until he finally finds whispering eyes

and falls into them.
