FOR MY UNWAVERING NIGHTINGALE

Folder: 
JOURNAL #32

an unwavering Nightingale

you are

you capture my attraction

until I am

your glittering butterfly

so beautifully caught

mesmerized by

the simple jar

you've chosen to

hold me in

your attentions

can not be compared to

your bedazzlement grows

on a girl

resisting the appeal of your

warm heart's glow

would be like

denying the existence

of sun light

and I am not that foolhardy

to make such a claim

you exist

you are real

you are an enchanter

with but the wand

of your own poetic will

yet

you do not dabble

with a woman's heart

you are as you seem

stead fast

but irrevocably drawn

to the feminine flame

and ever true

in your wish to be

nearer somehow

which I find

so absolutely stunning........

to me

just know

if you were to

ever remove your presence

from mine life

the essence of my very being

itself

would miss the very

shade it once sought

from standing in your own

shadow's sight

with words

(that of which all that I am)

I shall ever beseech you

to know me in breath

unto and onward through

why even death

as your own confidant

companion and

tender heart's keeper

for from your words

in many diverse ways

your own soul speaks

loudest to mine

and these words

are my calling card

to let you know

I do hear your song..........
