What I Expect

By Zinsser

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

"What I Expect" As I sit and write By the flickering flame of candle light I thought you might want to know What it is that I expect I expect to be treated like a princess Showered not in trinkets but showered in respect My thoughts to linger In your mind Causing shivers of pleasure up and down your spine When ripe green grapes You gaze upon Want, of my eyes My sustinance My sweet valley To feast and linger on I expect you to be there To laugh, love and hold To wrap your arms around me Protect me from the cold To dance with me In the moon light Or in the midst of A busy mall To stomp around in The rain And catch me when I fall To be my Knight in Shining Armor When my world has Fallen apart To fight away my demons And tear all my Fears apart I hope this isn't To tall and order I know it sounds like It's all about me But if you fill This order I'll make all your Dreams come true Times Three By Connie McDonald Copyright@20022002, Written March 13th, 2002 © on Mar 13 2002 06:06 AM PST   0 • 8
