With hope I watch you come my way;
You see me close and turn away;
“Not for me” you quickly say.
Judged by what you see alone;
I’m the love you might have known;
Had you turned but one more stone.
Quiet gentle man come here!
Set aside your cherished fear!
How I long to have you near!
Look beyond this shell of me;
There is more to tell of me;
Than this cursed hell you see!
Conquerer’s and cockswains gather;
Working up a brazen lather;
There is none but you I’d rather.
Swaggering and steamy hot;
Offering up all they’ve got;
Take my hand and mind them not!
How I pray you’d take a chance;
Close your eyes and just advance;
Judge by truth, not circumstance.
--------------------------------------------
Perhaps at last you'll come and stay;
When I’m old and ashen gray;
Beauty opens doors they say;
and scares the dear ones clean away.

I have to recommend a song that seems relevant to this song.
"Wer Schön Will Muss Leiden" by Oomph! The song is in German, but with a tad bit of help from lyricstranslate.com, you can read as you listen to the song on youtube. The translation, if I recall correctly, means "The beautiful must suffer" or something to that extent.
The rhyming and read is great(as always). I also like the wordin and style. Older English twists, and a new and interesting word to learn, cockswain.
If I see correctly, the message is never mind the sources for my uneasiness rough passages in life, just be with me the same. I could/should do that very same thing in my life with somebody in particular, but their demons just may be more than I can handle. |

Excellent write, my friend. A bit sad. It made me think when I used to do the dating sites. Every picture tells a story but some people don't want to bother to listen.
As always, thank you for a wonderful read.

And you claim you write garden variety poetry ...Rubbish!
This is full of meaning and my heart strings were up and down like a bowsprit in a fierce blow.
You had me choked here, "Perhaps at last you'll come and stay;
When I’m old and ashen gray"
This is as moving and deep as a lonely sea.
I am signing off now, as I wish to conclude my session here with the mood you have created.
So very fine!

| Ah brig intimidated by beauty. Isn't it strange that a beautiful woman is not out of place in a room full of high achieving people. It's a great equaliser. |
