A Man Poem by La'Chelle Yount

A man that any lady could love
His soul, it begs me to stay
The voice that falls softly around me
A familiarity that casts him apart
Searching for a different ending this time around
One of friendship and laughter
To enjoy the company of him
Time that elapses in a way that seems to stop
Nothing short of a faithful wonder
Justifying the need for his intellect
The non-belief in himself troubles
Wanting to share what I know of him
Something more than amazing to me
Tumbling through thoughts that pause
Leaves that blow in the wind of his past
Trying to sort through the mess of me
A kind man I have found once more
Surprising me with his ever pleasant words
A gesture that is sweet and a bit romantic
But romance is not what he seeks
Maybe a connected part of earth herself
His manner so majestic and wonderful
Continuing on with my thoughts...
A man I have missed, a soul that enjoys
Pretending my wish is not to keep him
A true pleasure of this meeting soothes me
A man that any lady could love
If only it was love he was looking for
May I keep him anyway?
