Euerosaphobia

Maria . . .
namesake of women, of womanhood
slave to logic, admirer of passion, adopted romantic!
Your frustration is but a matter of patience!
The desire of achieving the object of your admiration
is but a matter
of due diligence.
Maria . . .
object desirable, desire of all mankind
can I, a simple poet, a reluctant scholar, a man tortured
by the weakness of
romanticism, a child of the earth
born of peasants, seeker of knowledge and intelligence
can I ever hope
to honor you?
Maria . . .
once your name was bestowed
your greatness became inescapable!
Your beauty, expected . . . the reality, undeniable
all one need do is behold you . . .
after that there
is no hope of denial!
Maria . . .
I write not of the mystique
I write not of the legend of the name
I write of the person . . . the actual woman
The woman that you are, the one that confronts me
You!
Okay, so I refuse to start every verse with your name
because I am rebellious and a non-conformist
Even God's patience is tested
because I accused him of being a glory monger
Maybe that is why when I asked him for a soul-mate
God sent me a
woman named . . . Maria
