Shallow

A prince with eyes of sapphire

Lips of glistening petals

A gentleman

A genius

Whose spirit never settles

Entertaining and kind

Absolutely sends ruptures through the spine

If love is not ideal

Is it even real?

If love is not ideal

Is it worth it at all?

Love should not be

Born in fear

Of the loneliness of yesteryear

Love should not be

Solely respite

But everything worthy of

Your soul's investment

I want him to be beautiful

Something no one else has seen

I want him to be smart

To keep me wise and keen

I want him to be stimulating

And altogether titillating

I want him to understand me more

Than anyone ever before

How many men aspire to be

The man of a woman's dreams?

When many men want it seems

The woman of their dreams.
