SWEET SWEET SAM

Folder: 
JOURNAL#5

with hands defiantly down by my sides

I listen closely to your confession like one of many

expectant brides

no receding doubts in my mind are housed to later

against myself be used

there's only one tiny small time bomb placed gently

now upon my heart that you are about to, I can only

hope defuse

what makes the mind upon itself play so many cruel and

betraying tricks

my love is not some over ripened fruit upon the tree of

life there for any man who so much as chooses then picks

Sam its only one man and that's you

other men here, my love that is not the issue

it always has been and will be you

to have and keep in my holding

your precious heart there is no too dark a deed

I wouldn't do

yet you still shakily stand before me so uncertain

and fearful

with a hopeful look upon your dear sweet face so lovingly frightened

my heart beats erotically tender and tearful

I've never known such a quiet man to give me such an

earful

you choke and tell me you love me then you rush on

in one deep breath to ask

in the warmth of your complete devotion I bathe my

sensitive soul and brilliantly bask

you rattle on and say 'take as much time as you need, I won't press!

women need time I'm told to answer this kind of big

question I ahhh..... umm guess.

I say 'Sweet Sweet Sam

did you hear me I just said yes!'

you reply 'OH BOY' and your radiant little boy's smile

out shadows all your obvious stress

and at last I know you and I are on the same emotionally

physical plateau of feeling and for that

we as one are truly blessed

and we will now live happily ever after indeed

no less....................

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this after watching of all things a lovely episode of Quantum Leap. Sam, the main character had to propose to a lady in the body of whoever it was he leaped into. It was a very touching and moving story line so I wrote it from the perspective of the woman he was proposing to in that episode. Not bad for pure fiction eh? ( laughs)
