My Darling
My Darling is what
she addressed him by,
A name she called him
before she even knew
the real man she grew
to care for and cherish
A man of many layers
A man of surprises and hidden talent
To give many a helping hand,
a second chance,
to keep an open-minded mentality,
to treat both the clients
and the employee
alike.
A romantic in disguise,
A girl with a voice,
of many a word
unheard but not in vain,
for courage was all she needed
during a time of many experiences,
bullying, trolling, humiliation
of false allegations and accusations.
A reminder to be precautionary
of whom to believe and whom to trust
Social media, virtual entertainment websites or applications are trending
For its easier to taunt and be degrading
when you can simply hide
behind the virtual mask of anonymity.
But she found a way
to rekindle her old roots,
the very thing that always defined her
her desire for writing.
When the Romantic inside
was allowed to be set loose,
when her words came pouring forth.
No real barrier, no one to smother her.
Her heart, cold, of ice,
Devoid of hope
to let down the walls,
to find someone
to break the ice, to let the water reign
Until she encountered
A surprising proposal
At that time, it pose
no real hint of progress
A meeting between
two very different strangers
two very opposite indivuals
the fire to her water
the ice to his chocolate
A sweetness that would grow
between them if allowed to bloom
She found no fault
No real reason to deny
A man, a mystery
but someone nevertheless,
willing to give her a chance,
to go in to life blindly,
to take the risk she was debating
when he had already taken
the leap ahead,
Tall, dark and handsome
Sweeter than any chocolate
Unable to stay irate
due to the incessant teasing
Marriage is no piece of cake
Ups and downs would always follow
one behind the other
in a never-ending cycle.
For happiness is not
something you gain
from simply waiting
to stumble upon your better half
Nor can it be purchased or stolen
Real happiness with your better half
is earned by trust and willingness,
by acceptance and showing kindness
by having an open mind.
For we are a flawed species,
created exactly that way,
to open our eyes
to understand why
we can dominate this entire world
but we are emotional, sensitive, flawed,
to remind us to show
the smallest amount Kindness
to those less fortunate
to those who need it.
