A lesson



My lovely man
It's me again
You know
Today I think
That I really
Need your help
You know
Recently
I can't write
In any other language
Than yours
So, you know
I'm not so good yet
And I really need
Your helping hand
You are an Englishman
So, I think
You could be the best
Teacher to me, I guess
But, the problem is
That I'm not probably
Very smart girl
And, I suppose
This lesson can take
More than a few years
I think even more
Because I'd like to know
A lot about you
And your language too
So please
Help me in this
And teach me long
Teach me strong
Teach me to the end
Of love
But you know
I don't have too much money
Yet to spend
So maybe
I could pay you another way?
What do you think?
About my skin?
One lesson
For one touch
Is it not too much?

Anna Cellmer

I am a Polish female living in the heart of the greenest region of Poland called 'The land of a thousand lakes'. I am married and a mother of two beautiful boys, working at the University of Warmia and Mazury at the Real Estate Management and Regional Development Chair. Poetry is the subject I use to fill my days, to make them full of love, light and smiles and hidden desires.Much of what I write is based on personal experiences and people who have come my way during this long trip of life which I live by.The inspiration comes from life and everything that touches my heart.
