MY CAPTAIN

Folder: 
JOURNAL#17

physically

he is old

bald

and austere

but its all

in his indominate

presence

and the way

he confidently carries

himself

that attracts so very

much attention

both

women and men alike

but for obviously

different reasons

he exudes leadership

magnetism

romantic fervor

and Shakespearian strength

the man is pure male

in the highest sense

he is the fearless

always in control

Captain

commander in chief

but to me

he is simply

oh, Jean Luc

my heart beats for you

at warp speed

engage me..............

the title of your piece caught my eye. I had to laugh when I read it because of who he is to you. My boyfriend John was in special services (like green beret) so his nickname is also Cap or Captain..
