ill paste the whole poem here:
His smile fair as Spring, as towards him he draws you
His tongue sharp and silvery, as he implores you
Your wishes he grants, as he swears to adore you
Gold, silver, jewels, he lays riches before you
Dues need be repaid, and he will come for you
All to reclaim, no smile to console you
He snare you with bonds, eyes glowin' afire
To gore and torment you till the stars expire

It sounds to me as if he's telling you that he wants to be your boyfriend.

Are we sure this is a love poem? My interpretations are usually off but my first impression is the "bad boy" mentality. Here's what I see. The first half, he seems to be saying he'll draw you in with his good looks, telling you what you want to hear, and giving you material things. The second part sounds as if he will expect something in return for all of that.

I could be wrong, though. As my literature professor once told me, "Your literary interpretation is crude and without depth." To which I promptly responded, "You're crude with too much depth." I got kicked out of class that day...

Ask him! You don't have to be nervous about it. He's your friend after all, right? Just simply go up to him and say, "hey, n/a, I got your note with the poem in it, and I was wondering what it meant? I think it's a pretty poem and I'd like it if you could describe it for me and tell me why you chose this poem."
