Expectations II (Poem)

Posted in:
I’ve known you for over a year
Seemed there was naught to fear
You were more than a listening ear
So I told you that I care

Alas I was not left alone to fare
Tis a burden I no more have to bear
We have come together to share
Times of love, pain and cheer

My heart is open and bare
With you as a king without peer
I promise our love will not be mere
When you become my pair

You will be forever near
Others will have to go to the rear
It will no more be there and here
When I call out you will hear

Because you’re to me most fair
You’ll be all I hold dear
I’ll give you tender repair
Just reach out and I'll be there...

    Love your poem

    I hold back too much to write this brilliantly
    sometimes i am totally perfect
    other times i am inept

    but
    this is beautiful...

    As I see it, not too deep, which has its allure. The language is lyrical, and you did well not to run out of words for the basic rhyme scheme of AAAA.
