Sometimes I fancy,
I had some absolute privacy.
I know not who I want to be with,
Prolly a beauty queen, that's real or a myth.
Shall I find someone who would listen to me,
On her eyes, reflection of myself shall I see?
Someone with a very pretty face,
Someone with an elegant visage.
I want someone to be in my absolute privacy
To share my pleasures and bask in my ecstasy.
One who'll sing me a song or two,
With the melody of a sweet cuckoo.
One who would command my respect,
And know exactly what I would expect
In the freedom of nature where only we two,
Would dwell in seclusion, as if a couple new.
I want to be with someone who would
Explore me till I would be fully understood.
Smile generously and watch my obsessions,
And hug me off and on during my depressions.
I want to be with someone who would walk
Miles after miles with me and stay in my bivouac.
Stay with me in my sojourns wherever they are,
Sharing our life stories and caring for each other.
I know such a person would be difficult to find,
Who would be willing to give me peace of mind.
If ever I find one, forever I shall hold her hand,
All the storms of life we shall together withstand.

This one was perfectly expressed. The need for a connection with someone is so great you can almost imagine her and what she would be like. Loved it! Thank you for sharing.
@Angelique' Rockwell, Thanks for appreciating the poem. Much inspired by your comment.
I like this poem. Imaginative and descriptive. This is what love is all about. If you find her hang on to her. Well done.
Beautiful poem. Your poems are really too good. You are a great poet.
Thank you Ruma, your kind words left me much inspired. Hope you are coping well with the Corona situation. Take care and stay safe, stay healthy with all members of your family.
A pleasant writing which consoles the mind with a soother. It feels like dreams come true Wish they all would be happening with you and you would be having the heaven in your view...... loved it a lot
Dear @Amitava Sur, Thanks for reading the poem and appreciating it. Much inspired.
It is a very nice poem, I enjoyed reading it. And the rhyming was nice. It is difficult indeed to find the perfect person to share yourself with. It is easier to find someone to love despite a few flaws, and who loves forever you despite your imperfections. To love someone who is not perfect is a much stronger love than loving that which is perfect.
@Darlene Walsh @Darlene Walsh, thanks for appreciating the poem. Thanks for sharing your thoughts too. 'To love someone who is not perfect is a much stronger love than loving that which is perfect.' - I couldn't agree more!
