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.

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?
