Replying to a comment on:
The Man I Love (Free verse) by Dovina
is not the all-American
macho, handsome, athletic,
rich hunk theyâre promoting.
My man is the one
with his morning coffee
pensively pondering a page -
clean, but maybe not shaven
gentleman, thinker, comic.
He can be a bit fat
or maybe too thin
homely perhaps
or drift with the wind.
But if his words rest like pillows
and he understands mine
if he knows what I mean
and when I get him, grins
then his car doesnât matter
his face can be scarred
he can have a few habits
and nights with the boys
because Iâve got what I want
and he knows it.
