I Will Be Here! Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I will be here!
Long after your fascination,
With fads and trends have passed.
I will be here!

I will be here!
To deliver truth on your plate to taste.
With it to linger on your palate.
Or wait to microwave at a later date.
I will be here!
No matter how many roads you take,
Making attempts to escape from me.

I can endure,
Being rated against...
Other flavors and scents.
To be pushed aside,
Until that appetite dies.

I can endure,
Competing to compare to aging ideals.
To believe what they offer,
Has more of an appeal.
With an accepting to enhance them,
As a false representation...
That reflects, temporarily, a truth to feel.
But both of us know...
Substitutes to romance are not for real.

I will be here!
Long after your fascination,
With fads and trends have passed.

I will be here!
To give to you what will forever last.
I will be here!
To give to you like no one else has.
I will be here!
To satisfy your present, future and past.
That's how confident I am,
I can provide your every want and need...
Whenever you may seek them to have them pleased.

I will be here!
Free of masquerade or charades to fake.
Once tasted,
You may leave but you will return,
To save yourself from making further mistakes.
With it to discover in one way or another,
Replacing me is not an easy task to be done.
I will be here,
When the truth of found facts to you do come.
