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

A charming, sincere, & deep reflection on the "one" in this world's millions. This same one who looks at you the same. A rarity in this day & age. Beautifully done.
