I was looking for her and found myself
The “ alpha male ,” as a young boy I was enamored with the grace , beauty , intellect , curves and presence of beautiful women . At such a tender age , I was not cognizant nor was I concerned about what is purported by science to be the “ natural ” maturation process . Scientist have meticulously shared with us this researched based blueprint laced with what is thought to be unquestionable documentation , which references one ’ s maturity and its relatedness to the bodies physical and mental growth academically and commonly known as puberty .
I observed the creator ’ s wondrous species from a distance , careful not to offend nor cause any consternation while desperately trying not to be seen nor heard by this elegant soul . I was mesmerized and awe struck by their hypnotizing scents , their iridescent smiles , and the opalescent twinkling of their eyes . Their laughter mimicked that of cherubs slowly stroking their harps as love arrows sailed through unsuspecting skies striking their intended targets with the softness of a clouds touch .
I was mesmerized and awe struck by their hypnotizing scents , their iridescent smiles , and the opalescent twinkling of their eyes .
My thoughts were to be the man that would be simultaneously struck by this arrow as she awaited my arrival and anxiously encouraged me to propose marriage !
Obviously , not even being old enough to get a driver ’ s license or to vote , I did not have a clue of what it meant and what it would take to be the ONE , let alone understand the complexities of something as permanent as going to the altar . Given all of those obstacles , I was not deterred ; with beauty and compassion being exhibited in each direction that I dared to look , I smiled with exuberance as I enjoyed the canvas and all of the carefully crafted , hues and “ colors ” that the creator dipped his loving brush in as he ultimately shared an incessant cadre ’ of glamorous beings that are visible throughout the world .
Aw , but where does this “ alpha ” male appear within this canvas , what is his role , how does he show appreciation to and for this well crafted creation , what is he to bring to the table , does he have a place at the table ?
Finding myself while searching for her , that elusive , alluring princess that was place on this earth just for me .
Muscle bulging , every hair in its place , mustache shaped and trimmed , face clean shaven , bald head shining like a new penny , voice deepening , attired in the latest fashions and equipped with the quintessential conversation that will surely impress this goddess that the “ alpha ” male is pursuing , oh , yes , the stage was set ! I quickly realized that I couldn ’ t see her until I saw myself , I wondered both silently and aloud ; have I prepared me to be worthy of such a treasure ?
