THE PRIDE OF THE MAN I LOVE

Folder: 
JOURNAL#1

something wonderful is the man I loves pride

it's not destructive nor suggestive

yet nor is it something he's able to hide

he's worked so hard to get where he is

no one can top him in his line of biz

the more he speaks directly to me the more I love

I am merely the down fluff while he is the whole dove

someday soon I'll let him know

how all my feelings are saved up for him

now even more so

six days now it has been

and I have loved him a thousand times over in my head

since then

while in the car to North Carolina

he lay asleep in my lap

I could have cried from my shear happiness as he peacefully napped

I can think of no other when I am with him

not even my own dear sweet mother could walk into his mental picture's rim

he holds a very special place in my heart

why he's poetry in motion for me a fine work of art

to classify him is a hard shot to call

he is jack of few trades and master of all

dull boy to me he confessed he is not

that one simply made statement  tells me quite a lot

Elizabeth Barret-Browning is famous for having once said , How do I love thee let me count the ways

I believe she would have been a better poet had it been she who fell for MCGuire  in the Days (Inn)

Browning I may not be

but my love for MCGuire brings out the beautiful happy poet in me

tired I am now so really I must go

maybe I'll get lucky and dream of Mcguire in dream motions slow..........
