I wanted to sit next to her,
But I was sure it wasn’t a great idea,
She interested and excited me,
Yet it was not meant to be,
I knew the mental state I was in,
She was pretty, intelligent, and wise,
I did not want to be rejected again,
Although it wouldn’t be a surprise,
I shook the dust off of my shoes,
And headed out of town,
I was sure that someone waited for me,
An angel would be found,
Strength and wisdom I needed for awhile,
For I was easily tempted as a lonely man,
I wanted someone to love each day,
Not for a one night stand,
A woman who laughed and smiled,
With space for me in her heart,
I even wanted more than that,
But I knew that’s where I’d start,
I thought life should be shared,
For a day, a year, or more,
For a Proverbs woman I’d wait in line,
Or go pleading at Heaven’s door,
I’d resist the sirens at Hell’s front gate,
For my sake I hoped it was true,
I was looking for a saint, not a sinner,
And that’s when I met you.

Ha, well for a proverbs woman you’d wait a lifetime and still never meet her…. hahaha But I take your point… a fun, and melancholy and mysterious poem, if those three could be combined? xx
I think I met a few Proverbs women. They were wise and wanted someone who was equally wise. Unfortunately I chose women who were almost as fallible as I was.
May the sun be on your face and the wind at your back as the Lord blesses you throughout the day. Carpe diem!
