Mr. Anonymous

I love how everyone seems to have someone. 
Where are you my fellow who will remain anonymous? 
Come out from your hiding.
Come and find me.
I am ready for your steadiness that my beating heart is needing and longing.

Bump into me, sit next to me, 
I truly won’t mind,
And I promise I won’t bite.

Mr. Anonymous, I really want to know you. 
I truly want to show you
What my outside may not convey. 

Mr. Anonymous, please walk my way.

With your swagger, 
I may stagger when you approach,
But that is my nervousness which surfaces 
That I have no control over. 

With a charming smile you wlll breach 
That will make me want to fall weak to my knees.

Rescue me, Mr. Anonymous,
I will gladly let you set me free.

Here is a poem that speaks to man's most pervasive need and opened up an anthropological door to me. Good! Welcome to the soup. Drop by me anytime, you are welcome as my friend.
