Romantic Reality

Oh how I Love you
will you be mine?
We will share romantic bliss together
until the end of time.  (he)

Where do you work?
Well that's nice to hear.
And how much money do you make
just want to get the facts clear.  (she)

Everytime I look
into your beautiful eyes
I see the heavens open
and explosions in the sky.  (he)

Let me see now
do you rent or own that home?
Are you sure you have no girlfriends
and that you live alone?   (she)

I promise I will Love you
til the end of time.
Give me a chance
and say that you'll be mine.  (he)

If you don't mind
we'll begin as friends.
Prove you can be there for me
that's where it all begins.  {a hopeful she)

You know I kiss my friends, right?  (a happy he)

James

As you can see, some of us women need a little stability before jumping in on a relationship.  Nicely done.

A very real portrait of how a true love should be.  Excellent penning at showing both sides.

Thank you Ariana, Mark and Sea for reading and responding..
I based this on some comments that Mina made to me very early in our relationship...actually its still early...I gave her about four poems when we met tonight...I was telling her this one from memory and she got a good laugh out of it...she remembered the very questions she had ask me...I know that women always think about stability and security right away...and if a woman catches my eye I get romantic right away...at least with Mina...James

I agree with Sea....love the romantic style.
and I don't give a damn about materie, they are nice ane fine if you have it, but you can't buy real love....so I prefer the way how He is.....
and hey I love the written style either.
great work

Thank you Charisma, Paula and Nate for the nice comments.
I'm not attempting to put women down for being concerned about stability or comfort...I admire this trait in women to be so sensible and practible...these are my experiences...many women today don't want to be dependent on men and they are determined to make it on their own...yet they still desire a successful man.  My concern is do they desire a romantic man...cause that is who I am...
Most importantly I believe that relationships need to develop trust and friendship to survive and as I said just be their for each other..sorry for all the words...I've been thinking about these things lately...James

LOL..i kiss my friends too....     

no..material things dont make the man..but stability is a comfort...i've done the "live in a one room 'paper house' and eat mac and cheese, and bread and butter, lucky if you have shampoo, feeling rich if you have 2 rolls of toilet paper" thing...!!!!  yow!!  those were the days!  so..at some point, we women want a little more security! lol

this is a cute write james..   and that last line really gave a chuckle!

Victoria thanks for giving me an opportunity to clear that thought up...I think some women are both romantic and practical...I find your writing, thoughts, desires, to be very desirable...you are very romantic...and I love you for that...I appreciate your soft and gentle spirit...please continue to be romantic...James

James this is really good, I like this a lot. A beautifully written poem, well done. I've always said I was out of sync with the world. Stability is not something I even consider, and as for material things, if I wanted something, then I'd work to earn it. Comes from having a great grandmother who marched with Emmeline Pankhurst, very keen on self sufficiency in our family.
Still I think this is a great poem.
Take care

Naturally, I enjoyed reading this too, James, and admittedly I am drawn to the romantic man. The creature comforts I can take care of myself, but if a man tells me
"Everytime I look
into your beautiful eyes
I see the heavens open
and explosions in the sky"    and is sincere, I am definitely going to listen.  And cute line about kissing your friends.

I think it's a great poem, but I see the guy as giving the typical line, and the girl as some are, after the almighty dime.

Thank you Rainydays, Jenn and Deb for reading and responding...I was trying to portray a man desiring to be romantic and a woman desiring security...seems like one of the first things I ask a woman is "Are you a good kisser" and one of the first things they ask me is "where do you work".  Not in all cases but many times...I'm not complaining just making an observation..James
