You never knew me
I fear this anonymity
Our desire, severe – lapsed
Into emotion only momentarily
We spoke words, dated – slurred
By time and seldom remembered.
I covet fairy tale evenings
You do not conceive of my dreams
Our selves deny us generously
A solitary man – you are, cringing
At the thought of loneliness. Until –
Yet another hapless hormonal hurdle
Leaves you huffing, hanging…
Tragedy and disgrace
Once more companions to the man
Searching aimlessly, relentlessly
For the perfect woman –
Ideals are not realities.
