Friday

Maybe?

"The time will come," the old one crooned,
"when you'll know what you want-
that voice, those eyes, those tender
lips will be your only thoughts."
I heard her words and knew her faith
that sometime in my life
my knight would come and steal my
heart and take me for his wife.
I watched and waited patiently
for that fabled day to come
when some beauty would appear to me
and make me fall in love.
Much time has passed and I have known
many a loveless kiss,
but oh! those eyes! those lips! that voice!
I've found my happiness.
It blossomed forth so naturally,
just as the old one promised,
but neither she nor I foresaw
a lover quite like this.
