TAADEWRITES

When Manuel D’Poet got ‘Consumed by words’…He wrote for ‘TAADEWRITES’, an acrostic poem. Feel his cravings here....



 Took me a while to notice you, still wishing to hold and behold you
Allowing myself get consumed by the words you spoke to me on that slow queue
Although we remain friends but getting closer to you by admiring your hair-do was all I seem to do.
Don't say a word, just listen to my few new words, love is what I pursue.
Everything I ever dreamt of abounds and can be found in you.
   
Will you let me feel this love all alone? Please ”jor” come to my throne
React to my feelings and emotions cause it’s eating me up in my bones.
Infact let me just call you now, where is my phone?
Then I found out that I've been sleeping and dreaming since
Experiment is over    
Time for hypothesis and result of over-eating beans
Sorry for the joke though, wanted talking to you and it’s like this was the only means…
