omewhere in a far off fairy tale like place
there is a man who quietly even if unseeingly stares
me in the face
and even without knowing it
he so patiently waits
and what exactly he thinks I am yet to be sure but he
all too obviously knows to just what this equates
a love somewhat pale in this measured moment and so
like the wings of a fledgling bird yet to be fully tried
but by one point in its secret favor alone
an eager expectation grows
from mere emergence into my Lily like life
that before to me was denied by pride
precedence takes no part in this series of unpredictable shows
frequent are the believers who see love as a pure force
laid confidently within the hands of the conquering all
I see such path as an uneven gravelly one though necessary
for many to take
the steps seeming overly numerous but more so small
yet with a large promising margin for profit it stands
larger than life in many a (wo)man's wake
including perhaps my very own
what a wonderful idea it must seem
these feelings to one day hopefully double or clone.....
