a dapper gentleman in a suit
a prowler lurking near
a kind fellow holding flowers
a sly devil in a trench coat
a maiden has no way of knowing
desiring yet fearing pursuit,
certain words she yearns to hear
to fall into charming powers
a request, a command, a careful note
a glowing smile is telling, showing
a callous beast who cheats and lies
or a happy tear brought by a lover
a spineless, cowering, simpering wimp
or a loyal man who inspires devotion
a rock, a champion to win her heart
someone bold, a little older, wise
a warrior to shield her and cover
caresses that make her weak and limp
to make forever more than a notion
if hurdles may be overcome at the start
