"Hocus Pocus: 101" ...

are you that woman, dream's object
will you, in my lap set, in comfort
will i, with you hold close, promise
'the' partnership, of man and woman
have i learned to love, just in time
to see you show up
 
the way you look, is that protective
like me, are you afraid, yet hopeful
do i, in you see that caution, reserve
holding back, needing foreward movement
you look at me, hold it, momentarially
letting me know, you're looking back
 
what if our bond timeless, now ripe
could we, have loved before, again
i feel pulled toward you, afraid too
approach, awkward, clumbsy, tripping
will my words, scare you off, running
or, is my imagination, taking me away ...
