He Never Did Exist

A spark would tend to erupt
Igniting a passionate fire
False security of being unstuck
When he spoke of his desires

A friendly face to all
But eyes for only me
He’d laugh at his own fall
And dance through his debris

Content in his resting state
Sure to make me smile
On any given date
Making life worth while

Despite his rough exterior
A gentle, kindred soul
A glimpse inside the mirror
Could never make him whole

His sex appeal would linger
Long after the white dress, aged
 He would lick his finger
And I would turn the page

Him nor I, superior
Parallel with a unique twist
I can’t see him any clearer
Because he never did exist

That was a wondrous twist at the end my friend! I'm sorry that this man never did exist for you Anna! It's tough when you are alone and don't have someone special to share your innermost thoughts and tender heartfelt smiles with! I've been there too, I think we all have to some degree! I just got lucky and found my special better half! What a significantly wondrous poem you have written! Great Work!!
