The Keeper Poem by James Casey

Where can I find the courage
To be the man I want so much to be
The man that is all that you
Could ever want or need?

Where can I find the strength
To risk my dreams against the reality
Of your gentle touch,
You bring out the desire
That has long been hidden within me?

How I have longed
For someone such as you
To drive away the fears
And the shadows that have shielded my heart
For Oh so many lonely years.

Will you be everything I have needed
And waited for?
Will your body pressed against mine
With the desire in your eyes be all
I will need forever more?

If I give you my trust my devotion and loyalty
From the very start
Will you always
Hold me in your loving arms
Then be the Keeper of My Heart?
