MY SYLVIA

I wrote this poem for a friend who wanted to let a childhood girl friend know how he feels about her as they are now older.

I want to be your everything
If only you will allow me
Let me escort you to the chambers of my heart
Where all my desire to crown you happy lies
You own the key to the completion of me
I have held it in silence for fear of mistaking the timing
I've smiled listening to you speak
Your speech I didn't hear as your beauty spoke to me
All I have wanted to say all this time is:
I want you to be my
S-mile
Y-ielding
L-ight
V-elvety
I-ntelligent
A-ngel
I want you as my SYLVIA.
