When I try to describe my dream romance I surprise quite a few – they look askance At my insistence that I simply must Find a gentle man who can share my lust Before you contribute your own protests And mutter I surely must be obsessed I suppose an explanation is due Of what I desire in a love so true I believe love’s the path to happiness And I want someone who’ll gladly express That he is filled with this fine emotion And wants to give me complete devotion But understanding certainly matters Some shallow soul who might fawn and flatter Is not for me – I’ve many flaws And still need acceptance – not in spite of… because I want one who offers serenity And provides a refuge where I can be Sheltered from the cares of a world outside Contented’s a place I yearn to reside And trust is something I ache to achieve Just give me a man who I can believe Will not be callous to this tender heart And all of its love I’ll to him impart So you see, my values are not misplaced For what I seek in forever’s embrace Is heaven on earth, a life filled with LUST Love, Understanding, Serenity, Trust. |

Suthern beloved one, absolutely darling heart, every single word is true, and the greatest gift it to receive them wrapped in a perfectly delicious bundle. *S You know I’m trying hard not to smirk don’t you? Mmmmmm of course you do As always this is exquisite writing, aren’t you just so impressed with me? I’ve managed to reply to you again, yes I know its not difficult for others but you know me, and that it is more of a challenge, not least because I’m such a delicate flower. (Stop holding your sides as you fall on the floor) ROTFLYFTBYC rolling on the floor laughing yourself fit to bust your corset Anyway beloved one this is incredible and I love it and am always impressed by your ability to write words that sing anthems of wonder in my heart.  Love you always And forever Mushy  Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

While you lust for that trust make sure you don't rust. Couldn't do sentimental with such a perfect poem so I've done silly instead. *Grin. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

gotta add my 'beautiful' to this, I think this is the LUST we all wish for, it just gets confused sometimes with the other one |

Ruth - You desire to find the ideal mate, Someone you hope to forever love. But a life with LUST is something to avoid If it means what I think it does. For LUST describes perfectly What no woman of repute has had. I'm talking about my dear old friend, Lowly, Unsavory, Scalawag Toerag. heh - What a brilliant shot across that rascal's bow this poem is!!! |
