A Good Man

What do I opine of a good man?
                                             Delved I deep into my heart
                                              Looking at the yesteryears
                                          Written all over my non stop life
                                           
                                             The man my heart worships
                                         Transcends the term 'perfection'
                                         He walks not in a faultless world
                                        Nor yearns for an unblemished me

                                               Demanding no justification 
                                        Nor apology for any deed is his way
                                         But one who flows with the others
                                         Accepting their typical weaknesses 

                                             The heart of my man burnishes
                                                 With care and tenderness
                                                   For all soulful creatures
                                                   With the same empathy 

                                                    The rhythm of his life 
                                                Smoothly merges into mine
                                              Giving me space and freedom
                                                As he happily does to all else

                                                  When drained by burdens
                                              A pair of helping hands appear
                                                Out of nowhere to assist me 
                                               Melting me in his heart of love

                                     Ages ago good men I thought were elusive
                                    But when my eyes awakened to his presence 
                                    A light bell rung and I knew he was reserved
                                               Only for my exclusive rights
