For so long now, I cease to count, <br />the days and nights spent <br />seeking you out. <br />You are foreign, but not faceless, <br />you are a stranger <br />not nameless. <br />I have dreamt of you holding me, <br />tight in your arms, <br />I recall blue eyes and tenderness <br />and being kept warm. <br />Always safe and so satisfied <br />as I lay by your side, <br />you have brought me much gladness <br />but sorrow beside. <br />You see, I don't know you <br />We may have never met, <br />yet your face and your name <br />I cannot forget. <br />Each time I hear 'Mike' <br />utterered aloud, or even introduced to one <br />with your name in a crowd. <br />I stare and I listen, ever intent <br />are you the man, for whom I was meant. <br />I see your brown hair, and rugged good looks, <br />I can close my eyes, and configure your stare, <br />I have looked and I've searched <br />but can't find you anywhere. <br />Please hear me calling, dear lover and friend. <br />I've missed you so badly, <br />my mission must end. <br />If you are out there, and you dream of me, <br />come out of hiding, and speak your name, <br />Michael... to me.....<br /><br />Karin Elizabeth Martin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/desperately-seeking-michael/
