I’m Not THAT stupid

Oh lover boy whom I’ve yet to meet
Yet know as a soul so close to me
In spirit I hear it
What you wish for is but a dream

You want a wife to share life
To share delights of
Warm bed for cold nights
But why are you saying

Stupid stuff like come live with me???
I’m not and what I’m hearing
Is a man fearing 
Having cake but hoping
to eat it before wedding day 

Do I seriously look that dumb
Where do you find nerve 
To utter such words 
As if even birds like geese
Mate for life geesh 

No my way is simple
I will let you down so gentle
You’ll never know how close
You came to being insanely 
Happy with me as your wifey

Dear Karen, As I read your poem, I smiled and said she is one of the smartest people I know. I want her to be one of my best friends. You see the hidden agendas and the emotional drives that only seek immediate gratifications. Keep writing my dear friend and speaking the truth! - Blessings, Daniel
