I have deep seated cravings of a fulfilling companionship
Rated close to quenching thirst with pure water
Or teasing taste-buds with nectar from the gods
Yet for every move perfection is a setback
I suffer disappointment for every high standard I set for myself
I lack patience in the few potentially able
And I fall hard for some and get my heart crushed
I am in dire pain and it's self inflicted
Despair has knocked at my door
And I've welcomed it one too many times
I am screaming for help and I hope it comes in person,
I keep hoping...

I am defined by the frames of desire that drive love
Set on a path that stretches miles and tests character
And hung on a dream that seems far from materializing
But still I walk the plank and gauge my fears
Trusting in the conceivable powers of sweet attraction
Overwhelmed by the idea of being swept off by a Nubian prince
Arms so tight, chest so broad, body consuming...
Trust my wandering mind to test the waters
My weakness lies in the strength of fairytale love
Of being starry eyed at the mention of the man in my dreams
Of intertwined hearts whose beats are synchronized
Of living happily ever after with an unsullied knight

I live with an undying wish of finding perfect love
I daily catch myself from falling into emotional traps
Yet I constantly toy with the possibility of being found & treasured
I sit on the thin fence of desperation and affiliation
And I receive raw deals from both ends
But my faith in love has its roots driven deep
My envisioned thoughts bud into untamed optimism
And again I feel the twinges of passion
Of being with my eccentric match
Hailing from the powers that be
This time I hold my head high & wait for him to step into the scene,
I'm still waiting...
