Like a Little Boy

Like a little boy…you run away A big strong man of your stature Sinew and muscle and virility All molded into one flesh The image of strength The bastion of courage And yet… You run away… Like a little boy, you run away From what you don’t understand From what you are afraid to comprehend From what your heart is demanding of you… SURRENDER!!!! Complete SURRENDER at the feet of A WOMAN! And so…. With powerful muscles at your disposal You run… With your feelings chasing after you On feet faster than a cheetah’s With desire running after you With a hunger stronger than a lion’s With passion closing in on you With the ferocity of the strongest predator Keep running, my sweet boy Keep running…. But be sure, be VERY sure You can never outrun My love... It will will hunt you down... and DEVOUR YOU! Eileen Manassian Ghali
