HECTOR HECTOR

Poem composed on September 21, 2008

Hector Hector
The most eligible bachelor
In Greek Mythology a Trojan fighter
In business world a designated director

Who would dare to inquire
What you really require
Around him ladies nervously perspire
While gentlemen are inspired

With life blown up with a projector
I really do wonder
If that made hearts grew fonder
Or envious eyes grow blinder

Many want to be your Esther
Endlessly they try to pester
But many grew bitter
Because the flame just won’t flicker

Passion is an illusion
It’s fine to stumble on infatuation
But to ensure good continuation
Marriage should be based on decision

Thousands one can collect in the compound
But a combo of beauty, brain and background
Though not impossible, is quite hard to be found
Nevertheless the search must go another round

At the corner I am observing
A simple poet composing
You will find your happy ending
Then I’ll continue documenting

I’m sure you don’t mind
Your story being unwind
This poem you won’t ever discover
Coz’ to you I’m a mere stranger

This is like being ‘kaypoh’. This is so totally none of my concern. Well, I just bought a book (not a magazine) and while reading I found his name there. I’ve actually met this person a few times and so I know a few lines of his story, though he doesn’t know I exist. I’m the kind of girl whom no one notices. Since I am in the poetic mode as of late, verses just sprang up my mind and I thought I just document it. His name mentioned in the first verse has been modified to protect his identity, lest I get into trouble offending a big shot.

Strangely, I think chose the right name for his ‘cover name’, not only they rhyme, In Greek mythology, Hectōr (Ἕκτωρ, means "holding fast"), or Hektōr, is a Trojan prince and one of the greatest fighters in the Trojan War. He is the son of Priam and Hecuba, descendant of Dardanus, who lived under Mount Ida, and of Tros, the founder of Troy. He acts as leader of the Trojans and their allies in the defense of Troy. Hector is one of the Nine Worthies, as he is known not only for his courage but also for his noble nature. (Wikipedia)

Had the business world been a Greek Mythology, he is the equivalent of Hector! What a coincidence! I'm flabbergasted!
