very evolved yet solo

life

as if within the very carefully chosen pages

of a most beloved bookas soft as a shadow's first whisper

most gallantly he was sought

the highly regarded entrustable rogue

with the regal cloak of white knight

mystery flowing all about him

durably passionate for every finer pensive

thought

futuristically herculean

yet deeply droll in his Edwardian outlook

in a milder manner of speaking

the man lived his so

why, the chapters devoted to his routine day

to day alone were most extraordinary in even

their every last sedate yet minor degree

his beloved hands were bold and beautifully

made

like the finest of marbled clay

while his carefully schooled gentleman's

demeanor

spoke to one line luminous volumes of precisely

metered poetry

he was the incomparable master of his own

remarkable making

a most admirably focused soul

on a widely coveted mission of such soon

waking

I was not lucky enough to know him first for

myself

in all those gruff enchantably austere early

days

as my untrained eyes had not yet been fully

introduced to his undeniable finer points

I was I must confess impurely physical in my

initial attraction to him

you see

as I was still so terribly naive

why still even then at 23

but with his beseeching bedroom baritone and

impeccable Shakespearian wit

alas unsurprisingly

one warm, late summer's evening in a re-run

no less he quite effortlessly captured me

rather unbelievably swift

my eyes positively absorbed the verbal

uninterrupted dance of his softly spoken speech

his most magnificent essence of man. authority,

and character

so clearly blended

came through

and beckoned me in some unexplainable way to

come just a little closer

and I did

it was an unconscious sort of decision

we made such stunning dream love together

that night

the Captain and I

like the most ardent of ensnared lovers

two hungry bodies feeding the other as they

blend into one

oddly enough

I was actually able to keep all that incredible

flooding of such deeply encompassing desire

quietly to even my startled self

but so very ravenously I still craved the

wonderous mental connection

when in his time defying company

note my fascination never truly died

it merely ebbed a bit

gone too long I suppose

by being so sparsely fed

by no new nor fresh installments of his

craggy palpable masculine grace

until

eventually

I heard

that Patrick Stewart himself had moved on

to far more challenging roles

I was disappointed of course at first

but it was Jean Luc Picard alone in my mind

who could never be replaced

so I must thank you Mr. Stewart for having

shared such marvelous Picard so generously

with me for just like lovely Rick in Casablanca

you have supplied every young impressionable girl

with the chance to have an unforgettable fantasy

affair with a beautifully poetic Captain such

as he and thats no small accomplishment by any

writer's standards

I'd think why even you would agree.............
