He keeps me,
At arms length,
Close,
But not close enough.
He keeps me,
Heart racing,
Anticipating,
Just enough.
He keeps me,
Interested,
Fascinated,
Little bit by little bit.
He keeps me,
Thinking,
Wondering,
Critically evaluating.
He keeps me,
Learning,
Growing,
Everyday a little more.
He keeps me,
Enlightened,
Aware,
In a higher consciousness somewhere.
He keeps me,
Safe,
Sultry,
Snuggled in comfortably.
He keeps me,
Questioning,
Challenging,
My own level of self discipline.
He keeps me,
Searching,
Evolving,
Self improving.
He keeps me,
At arms length,
Close,
But not close enough,
Yet.
