She Has Away About Her

she has this way about her
she will be my Gilligan stumbling zanly through my heart as my soul laughs, and smiles even giggles
she has this way about her
she will become my Helen as I launch a thousand ships build a giant horse
she has this way about her
she comes to me in the moments before
my insanity rears as I become her patient her kisses the medicine her voice the therapy
she has this way about her
she draws me into her mind in all the wonder of a child at play in the body of a woman and the passion only an adult would understand
