spin me a web
with your delicate fingers
a glistening web
made up of sweet nothings
and meaningless glances
nimble spider-boy
i dote upon you so
do i intrigue you
or perhaps awaken
the rapture inside?
this jungle of knots
the one that you've spun out for me
is all i've ever asked for
the misshapen cobweb
only grows larger with time
encompassing us both
to anchor us together
infinitely.

Love it!
I love brevity and beauty in a poem and yours has both. Good luck in the contest.

To be honest, I don't have a clue. I was just so taken back by the sheer power of the ambiguous(at least to me, after the day I had) metaphor. Wonderful write, but I still can't for the life of me figure out what it could be.
