PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

just when I am beyond your web of charm

I take a seat alone and am quiet and pensive

with thoughts of you this way and that

darting all around my heart

over thinking every little angle I'm sure

looking for an acceptable way forward

as desire can be a real heart trap

you are far too busy for all of this sizzling drama

and emotional intrigue

and yet the vibes I get from you are absolutely stunning

maybe for you, feeling this way is a much needed

outlet

amid all the work pressures you are currently under

"LET'S WAIT UNTIL WE MEET AND TAKE STOCK!" you said.

gasping!

I marveled at your clear minded ability to focus

it must be the trouble shooter in you at work

but I constantly question Just what it is that you

see in me

as I am certain that I am hardly what you've imagined

your dream lover would be

and I question my ability to keep your attention

and long term interest

(am I just a passing fancy?)

for my track record where men are concerned

is not the best

and you are (need I not remind you!)

very young

very fit

very handsome

and very successful

all of which, I myself, am not

so, am I feeling a bit intimidated?

yes, yes I am

and in a way I am not ashamed to admit that I am also

in a word

AFRAID

of what? you likely ask yourself

you

me

this us that we might some day be

to name a few

but most of all

of making a complete and utter fool of myself

over you

as many women you say over you have in the past before done

and getting burned very badly

for believing such a thing as an "us"

(a beefcake and a couch potato)

but then again maybe, just maybe it could really work

as I've heard opposites do indeed attract........
