Summer, Solace

the thoughts that I have? So hard to say.

When first we met, t'was by random chance.

You did not know, I'd already stolen a glance.

What is it about you that sets you apart?

I am enthralled by your smile, just the start.

You may not notice, but I enjoy your company,

we are but mere friends, more, I wish to be.

When I look into your lightest of browns,

I'm lost inside myself, lost and falling down.

Maridel is your name, Angel is your title,

within your presence, can I be, even a little?

I see you, exquisite, but I want also to be seen .

troubled is your life I fear, your slate, far from clean.

Please understand lifes ups and downs, a must,

it does get better, within me you can place trust.

I have only known you for a short while,

but I can see your smile, it stretches miles.

Your dark auburn is pleasantly enticing,

even the shortest of conversations, exciting.

Personality is one thing I measure when I look,

please know, I will never judge your book.

I understand that life is sometimes complicated,

I can ease your weary mind, never keep it sedated.

For you I will open and sing my 1st audience,

it is with deepest respect I commit with revelance.

You are the brightest white I have yet laid eyes upon,

for you I will be, for you I will sing, this I write, your song.

I know that we're still young, life has only begun,

it is with my heart that I announce, for you I'm spun.

I can look at you and smile the cheesiest of grins,

for inside you, inside your heart I can see where I begin.

Beauty lies within your soul, and within your mind,

I can tell just from talking, you are the gentle kind.

I give you this solemn promise, a vow if you will,

I can be your anything, your everything, all at will.

All I ask is that you hold me in the best of regards,

my heart has been broken before, I pick up shards.

Put my muscle back together, it beats, thump, thump.

I wish never again to return to that devestating slump.

I want only to hold your hand, kiss your forehead,

whisper sweet nothings in your ear, til I'm dead.

I do not confess my love for you, it is too early for that,

what I do confess, is my curiosity in you, it kills the cat.

On the beach, into the warm summer sunset I see us,

walking, talking, dancing and playing, falling endless.

I want only for you to be happy, with or without me,

whether you feel the rush of something that could be.

I will understand if feelings are not quite mutual,

but don't let my thoughts deter you from the casual.

Friendship and laughter is a must in this so called life,

I will support your wants, wishes all without plight.

I am not asking you for a chance at life and your heart,

I am simply telling you where I would like to start.

In your presence, in your eyes, in your heart I want to be,

treat you as you desire, angelic from here to eternity.

You want someone who can be the man you crave,

gentle, polite, fearless, caring as well as brave.

I am a teddy bear with a creative mind, never violent,

at least not towards my lady, love to me is time well spent.

For you I have already sang, for us I wish to sing,

it is with my heart, my soul I divulge this next thing.

Maridel, I find solace inside your eyes, your mind,

could you see me, could I be, the man who is your kind?
