You’re such an unlikely figure
I mean if looks could tell
You anything about the person
Like a book cover
doesn't tell the story
I want to get a cup of coffee
And write about you
Imagine and think about you
Oh to be a tiny ladybug
On your writing desk
To gaze upon you while you bring
All those engaging, beautiful visions
To see the expressions upon your face
The pauses, the nibble on your pen
The emotions you are feeling
The emotions you let in, then out
Expressing ancient lore
Filled with wanton love
Candle lights and tears
Love and whispers uttered
Passions, hopes and dreams
In ancient times
Oh those times gone by
I would like to look
Deep into your eyes
Scanning like the palmist
Reads the lines of a hand
Gazing until surrender
Lost in deep thought
The depth is quite amazing
One so unlikely, yet
It makes my heart sing
Reading your poetry
You relate the fantasy
Capture the fairy tales
So elegantly
You’re an anomaly
A mystery, a dream
I’m left with wonderment
You have caught my attention
And given flight to my thinking
