    The Collector

    Today, I stumbled upon something that i really had to have.
    In my eyes it was precious, and i figured i was the only one who should have it.
    So i bought it and stored it with my collectables.
    But it didn’t fit in with the other ones.
    This one was the best one i have ever seen.
    For weeks, i pondered taking it out of the box and playing with it.
    But i was afraid to damage something so precious.
    Months go by and it’s still there, i came by often just to watch it and admire its beauty.
    But now i feel like I’m ready.
    I feel mature enough to handle things that are fragile.
    so i decided to take it out the box and hold it, love it , admire it, show it how much it means to me by spending time with it..............................................................................................
    And that’s exactly how i feel about him.
    My collectable that i have left on the shelf for fall to long.
    If he is ready to come out of the box, he should know I am older, wiser, and more mature to be there if he would let me.

    I enjoyed this one very much.The analogies were right on point. Waiting until the right time to enter a relationship is a very mature attitude. It shows growth and wisdom. Great write.......E

    oh my goodness...i love this. this is such a precious piece.." This one was the best I have ever seen...'' is a fantastic line that leaves the reader wondering until the end. however, i knew where you going with this and i enjoyed the ride. quite enterrtaining and thank you ! 10 from this guy.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
