Hopeless romantic thou, appearing so to be
Sheltered 'neath thy quiv'ring wings of words
As daylight wrestles dawn in nectars drawn
From myriads of odessies

Hopeless romantic thou, appearing so to be
With winged words in flights of fancy, free
From chains of constraints
That seek to limit thy liberty

Hopeless romantic thou, appearing so to be
Sing thy words to me
Sing them softly; sing them gently
Gilded bird in closed cage I wait

O hopeless romantic
For selfless sounds of thee

Just as beautiful, the second time I read it!
Enjoyed the rhyme scheme of this one.
