Most of All, In Love

I am the man you cannot know, I'd like to get acquainted, though. I am the man who dreams the dreams And believes they will come true, I am the man who dreams of love, And who maybe dreams of you. I am a man who still must grow, And in many ways, a child, And not like other men you know-- But funny, fierce--and mild. And I believe in fairy tales And in candlelight for two-- In waterfalls, and moonlight strolls And in roses laced with dew. I am the man who likes to dance, But when the musics slow-- Swaying to the rhythm sweet, The lights made soft, and low. And some say I'm a poet-- A romantic if you will, Who turns a phrase in playful ways, And likely always will. And I believe in summer nights, And in the stars above-- In rainy days, and Broadway plays... But most of all, in love! --Mel

Thank you again. Popped in my quirky head. I wanted to poetically tell the world how different I am--and will ever be.

Hey Cas. Yeah, I'm a hard guy to forget--a crazy romantic poet who jumped on a plane and flew to Pennsylvania for love. At least I tried, and we're close friends. Happy New year kiddo :)
