That Man

Wanted; That Man

 

He is that man;

 

The one who puts his hand on the small of your back

And makes you feel simply safe and cared for.

The one who meets your gaze across a room and never speaks a word

But says volumes to you about his love for you

And you know the look, because it’s reflected in your heart as you look at him.

 

The one who will sit in the car with you listening to music and singing

Understanding all the while that no other words are needed right then

And you bask in the sheer comfort of him being there next to you.

 

The one who means it every times he says “I Love You”

And you’ll know by the way he slides his hands around your waist and pulls you in close

Making you feel like nothing in the world can ever hurt you again.

 

The one who can ravage you like a stranger in the night

And then turn around and love you to depths of passion that only he can take you to.

 

Each time feels like a beautiful beginning with infinite possibilities

A whole new world of love and desire

Yes, he is that man;

The one who fans the flames of my fire

 

Now, I wonder…where is that man?

It seems all of my female friends are out looking for mr. Right. I mean Mr. Right is a great guy and all but Mr. Right now is where the fun is lol j/k. The descriptions here were amazing you mad this man seem real which is why your ending was so effective. Nice work

There are good people out there. Just got to be patience and insure they are the right one. A lot of pretenders in this world. I like the poem. We need to hold on to hope for a perfect love. Took me 37 years to find a woman to accept me for my faults. I like the flow and the purpose of this poem. Thank you for a excellent poem.

It's just beautiful. You had me thinking: Is there a Mr. Right out there? And, then I read the last line, wow, what a surprise!
It's amazing, you know, the poem. It's just worded incredibly well, and the descriptions are just wow.

Wow. I am stunned with the sheer beauty and simplicity of your poem. It is so beautiful. Like a peaceful song being sung it the background. And it brought so many memories back in my mind and the feelings that I felt back then, are expressed perfectly in your words. Simply amazing!

Right up to the words ~ The one that can ravage you ~ I was thinking of a father and his daughter for they truly mean I love you every time they say it and with a touch can make everything seem good again but the ending makes clear you meant another man your lover lol. Perfect insight into the relationship of love within a partnership but a sad twist to the final line ~ where is that man? ~ loved the poem, keep em' coming

I looked for nothing and got nothing....I look to God for the help with the Some one that he has given me to love, it is never ending the search because it will never be founded...I love this piece it makes me be grateful for the love that he has given me to grow.....
