The Woman for Me.
Klover

Comprehension is lacking in me,
When I search my heart, for a woman of dreams.
Some one who completes me, making me whole.

Yet, I simply cannot see, in this fog of my heart.
I yearn for one who steadfast my fate,
Enjoys my jokes, and laughs with me.
Who I can be fit with, as we both train for better things.

Who doesn’t mind the simple games I play,
But who hears when I speak deeper things.

Who is kind on my eyes and pleases to be with,
Not a fabrication of silicon and plastics.
But very very handy when used as a pillow.

Yet, nothing seems to strike me,
As one who I can dream of.
And sometimes I fear,
If I don’t know what I truly want.

Or worse, when I look at the setting sun of my life,
If I was meant to be alone,
When I make my course, into this dangerous world.

Oh heart, give me strength.

Thalen,

This is somewhat complex, at least complex for me--simple language and meaning go hand in hand to make a meaningful poem.

Ah yes, well I've always preferred a more complex style. Its more like comparing a cathedral to a small chapel. Both are beautiful in their own ways, but should share the same message.

I tend to write for other people, not for myself.

Thank you James.

And Robert, if your willing to read my other works, you should see I don't normally focus on myself. I would hope your not implying anything with that post.

I loved the way your words seem to turn their own page... as if between the fingers of the future.  Nicely done.

Thalen,

I'd never imply anything bad about a New Jersey person.  They're all good people, and they act as a buffer between Philly and those folks from New York.

Was reading this again because it has lots of thoughts and you mentioned something about you're not sure what you want...and I went through that a lot at an earlier time in my life, and I always thought the woman I was with was the one I wanted, but something seemed to be missing, and after we broke up, I realized I was totally with the wrong one, but there was always a reason, and finally I began to understand what I wanted or didn't want in a woman...now my mind is clear, and I know that I am with the woman I want...hopefully her mind is clear also, and it appears to be...James
