It was with such passion I was touched
And ran headlong into such lands
The like of which I'd never known
Emotions strong rose forth unbridled
An immature, impetuous youth
Thought long confined took flight once more
Caring not for truth, nor what was real
Rather seeing what he would, and hearing
What was never said, at least outside the confines
Of some beautiful envisioned realm.
A perfect jewel unflawed was found
A mind, a heart, a human being
So lovely, caring, gentle, yet
Desirable as any undiscovered treasure
Was and is and will be craved
With avarice unfitting in a friend
Yet from such beauty came such pain
'Twas flaming truth, unbowed, unflinching
That broke the spell and sent me reeling
Back before this happy mist descended
Clouding rational thoughts and senses
That had for so longer been my master
Yet I beg you be not hasty
Do not dismiss this foolish man
Punish not his zealous adoration
For you he cares, of this I swear
Your happiness is all that guides
His oft misguided, ill-timed hand
Though far from perfect, this is certain
his mind no misconception stands
look hard into your heart and know
He never would, could do you harm
Would cherish such a valued gift
The like of which you might bestow
You could deny all feeling thinking
That you act from best intentions
Knowing you may be mistaken
Knowing what you stand to lose
Much more simply than my friendship
though your friendship is much cherished
A friendship valued and desired
Still know my feelings - strong and fearless
far from diminished burn with fire.
*And in her walk it showed, she was in truth a goddess
