"What I Expect"


As I sit and write
By the flickering flame
of candle light
I thought you
might want to know
What it is that I expect

I expect to be treated
like a princess
Showered not in trinkets
but showered in respect

My thoughts to linger
In your mind
Causing shivers of pleasure
up and down your spine

When ripe green grapes
You gaze upon
Want, of my eyes
My sustinance
My sweet valley
To feast and linger on

I expect you to be there
To laugh, love and hold
To wrap your arms around me
Protect me from the cold

To dance with me
In the moon light
Or in the midst of
A busy mall
To stomp around in
The rain
And catch me when I fall

To be my Knight in
Shining Armor
When my world has
Fallen apart
To fight away my demons
And tear all my
Fears apart

I hope this isn't
To tall and order
I know it sounds like
It's all about me
But if you fill
This order
I'll make all your
Dreams come true
Times Three

Connie,
well if that's all you want ...you should have no problems whatsoever. Good timing and rhyme.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
