PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

we met

in  such a heightened uncommon circumstance

battle weary yet was I

and so longing for a real friend

not just a slick, shallow conversationalist

who had little to share and even less to offer

of  himself, his character or his soul

quite pitiful were my general encounters

that is up until you

at first though, I chose not to like you much

still, you intrigued me greatly with your easy

words and gentleman like ways

but it was your carefully constructed armor of

arrogance that kept offending me

and the feigned air of utter indifference

only added to the mysterious shroud so aptly

named you

even so

old in my soul as I was

while wallowing still in my body's emotional

infancy

it was somewhere in those moments

from that transitional cocoon

that I emerged

( the woman you now love)

and soared to meet this amazing you

that you lowered your guard long enough to allow

me to discover

in all your beautiful, strange otherworldliness

you suddenly revealed to me

My Quintessential Love

the man GOD meant just for me

to have at last

and not just the one I,

in my broken, pathetic aloneness

chose for myself

this I believe

for love from above when it comes

is stronger than

silver itself strengthened seven

times over........
