Have you ever yearned for something or someone so fervently
that is physically pained you?

I admit,
I am very
physical and passionate.
Emotional?
Maybe not on the outside,
but I am.
Deep inside,
I truly do yearn for
love.
I believe in fidelity.
But underneath
the secretive and mysterious
nature
that I am,
resides a romantic streak
with an incredibly
sensuality.
All I ask for is patience.

What is love?
Two souls
who are not blinded
to each other's
flaws and imperfections,
but still find
genuine beauty
that others were blinded to.

When she stares at herself
in the mirror,
she swears up to the heavens
that she was cursed
with every
imperfection.
But I tell 'ya,
when I look at her,
I swear up to the heavens
that she-
that she is the most
perfect human being
I have ever met.

She was clothed in strength
and took on the world
fearlessly
with a smile entirely
luminous
that every shadow
that mumbled
hatred towards her
perished.
