The Other Man

I lay awake at night,

Waiting.

For what?

I have no idea.

 

Finally it comes.

A green eyed angel in disguise.

Her hair is golden,

And her body is small yet perfect.

 

The halo on her head,

Was a shining silver.

Mesmerizing as she spoke,

Her soft angelic words.

 

She then turned and confused me,

With a boyfriend at her side.

What is this?

I wondered.

 

Boyfriends are nothing but walls,

That can be climbed.

Nothing to me,

But a challenge.

 

So when you said you were taken,

I smiled,

For like the Oracle at Delphi,

I knew the truth in your heart.

 

One day, you were working,

A creature as beautiful,

As wonderous as you,

Should not have to work.

 

I got down on my knees to help,

You hugged me,

Kissed me,

Rubbed me.

 

And I simply smiled,

Now I am the one at your side,

Maybe not your right but your left,

I am the other man.

    Interesting..........my favorite stanza was definitely the last stanza. It was superb and fulfilling! However, I don't see how this relates to my contest. Did you read what I was looking for?
