Together

I need a woman to ride with me,

To prove that she loves me too,

A woman to sit astride of me,

When one together makes two,

It’s ever been the way of the world

To come together as one,

For one together may not forever

Be taken apart, undone.

Whenever I find myself alone

And missing her vital spark,

I look for somebody, complementary

All alone in the dark.

For she may be there looking for me

As I am looking for her,

We’ll always know by the eyes that glow

If love is the only spur.

I’ll know by the velvet touch of her hand

The rosy blush on her cheek,

I’ll know when we come across each other

Far more than once in a week,

For fate has the strangest tricks to play

It leads us all on a dance,

By throwing the me and you together 

It’s never coincidence.

So woman, come from the shadows now

To meet, wherever you are,

A pad of feet on a lonely street

Or locked in a passing car.

We need each other to be together

If only to say we live,

Come be a part of this lonely heart,

I only have love to give.

I liked the want and the need in these words. Nice to have a woman that is part of our life. Thank you David for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Your rhymes and meter flow very naturally. Your last stanza is definitely my favorite. Great job.
