Sybil Said

"If he were tall, 

more so than not,

articulate, 

well groomed,

good teeth, 

warm smile,

honest

and passionate

over something 

other than him and me,

He could be my love.

Now and then,

we would,

happily 
study movies

on TV, 

or contentedly read 

our books.

Confident 

in his comfortable interest 

in me,

I wouldn’t talk too much.

Neither 

would he.

He could be my love.

I would be inspired to do chores 

more than I do now.

Our world a cluttered mess?

Never.

He would appreciate me.

I would sing 

softly

loving all I must do

and how he 

makes me feel.

With high standards.

and good skills

he would care for me.

Not at all my servant,

nor me his,

we would serve, 

nourish

one another.

I would be his love."
