Jared Pickett Poet Free verse

Outside Her Door

Outside a door
I stand.
Above my head
on a second
story landing
lives my soul-mate.
Plain, normal,
not of royalty.
One of sincerity,
creativity,
above all else,
loyalty.

Outside I wait
with mere fascination,
a strong attraction.
I only know her name,
bits and pieces of her life.
I know that she is single
yet to be somebodies
wife.
I know she is a poet,
enjoys writing, 
maybe as much as I.
A sports fan
"Go Broncos!!!"
She's the apple of my eye.

Carolyn Devonshire September 29, 2009 at 6:29 AM You are a man who recognizes the things that are really important in life, Jared. "Sincerity, creativity...loyalty" are all wonderful traits to be found in those we admire. And if she loves football, she and I are kindred spirits! Go Giants, Bucs, Colts, Dolphins, Seminoles...my list goes on and on. I love the way you admire from afar, knowing she is betrothed and respecting her. Excellent poem! Love, Carolyn
