PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

so many doors you've opened

wide and walked through

so many hoops you have

willingly for me

jumped through

even when you vowed you hated

doing just that

still you did

I am well aware of what

you've done and

are willing to do

so often you assure

and reassure

when I am feeling

fearful, undeserving and blue

you enjoy playing behind

the mask of the cavalier

it makes me laugh

and I like to play right

along side you there

but your dear heart

and rare yet revealing

tender thoughts

always reveal to me

the true you

should I for even a moment

get to taking your joking

too seriously

you are gentle

where I am concerned

I easily can pick up

on that

yet a mighty menace to others

and at their own expense

I dare cast

I have been introduced

by your own hand

to both sides

a romantic even along side

a self proclaimed asshole

but its all those little

precious things you

let slip that show me

your core character

I could list them all

in a book

if I sat long enough

and really tried

I am smitten with your

consistency and frank persistence

I still marvel that you have wanted

me longer than I've wanted you

does not seem possible to me now looking

back

so many times I have been so blind

and you always guided me through

which sometimes makes me wonder

who's the old woman here

me or you

and these are just some of the

reasons why

I really and truly love you

now I think I really and truly

would love to kiss you...............
