Lion With a Grin

He says I'm different A breath of fresh air Authentic and loving Too beautiful to bare Eyes that glow A passionate fire An inner strength Experience requires An intimate friend A stellar mother Intelligent yet funny A once in a lifetime lover Such high praises Making claims that astound Head spinning feet not touching ground Ever since you've been around Running hiding Humbled by what I'm finding Winning losing It's all in the choosing We stand together Never known love like this You promise forever Your vision I can't resist The first time our eyes met I knew all at once You'd be the one to captivate My soul with perfect eloquence You stalk me like darkness does the night A predictable yet charming constant Not once In awhile when loneliness calls Nor with promises completely insolvent You desire not merely The sexy and strong But the day to day reality When everything's wrong You color my word In hues so rare Only the pigment in your eyes Could compare If my eye is turned inward I'll tell you what I see A complicated lady That would be me Deeply emotional Free as the wind Sentimental and careless A lion with a grin A prism with facets You wouldn't imagine Confident yet timid I'm wool and I'm satin Your always so certain And I unsteady Our favorite saying Baby you get me So where will this go Will it be love forever My partner my friend In between or even better Whatever the truth This chapter reveals It is my innermost dreams Desiring to be unsealed So I'll try to be patient Take one day at a time Still I cannot disguise Your love is the rhythm to my rhyme
