Quick flings
with meaningless women
have meaningless memories
of meaningless sex

perhaps
I expect too much

do I want more in a woman
than any person can be?

I talk often about
how I am just a man

but will I accept
just a woman?

Things I desire in a woman

intelligence and wit
I need to love her mind
whether we fuck or make love
which ever we choose at the time
there must be that mental connection
and when
from time to time
I need to be adjusted
taken down a peg or two
she does it with humor and kindness

ambition and loyalty
the desire to become
more than we are today
to learn
to experience
to acquire all manner of perceptions
yet remain true to ourselves
devoted to understanding
and exploration

class and style
this is a delicate thing
I want someone
who is as comfortable
bathing naked in the woods
sleeping under nothing but stars
as they are
dressed to the nines
at a symphony or opera

I don't care if she can dance
only that she is willing to...

a woman
who can be my queen
my mistress,
my whore,
my muse,
and expects me to be nothing less to her.

What can I offer
to such a woman?

never will she doubt
my affections

I will lust after her
as a young man lusts
for all of my days

to never feel ashamed
for her faults and foibles
that which give us all our humanity

she will never touch a door
nor light a cigarette
unless it is her wish

of course
then there are perks

I am an excellent and frequent masseur
a delightful cook
a charming conversationalist
a mischievous rogue

I will stop there
as you all know far more
than I wish to repeat
of my various attributes
both good and bad

What I ask you

is this

Do I ask too much?

quick flings that linger about

[savonarola.livejournal.com]

- in this entry your begining is far from your ending.

- i cannot say if you ask too much but i think you may tell too much. to what degree are these desires shared? and what if you have what you are looking for but it doesn't fall into these definitions?

do you want more in a woman than a person can be?

[debgirl001.livejournal.com]

It's funny, i read what you desired and i can name a dozen girls that meet your criteria on a superficial level. the person can be your perfect mate and every box on your list is checked off but without... i don't know... without magic it's as if nothing was there. in that respect it's even more sad and then perhaps meaningless sex doesn't look so bad afterall.

i'd like to say i'll keep my eyes open for you but i can't see clearly myself.

These are not things I discuss on first dates if thats what you mean. It is not so much, that I have a need for someone to fit neatly into my perceptions. Quite frankly, it has gotten to the point, where I do not even meet anyone, who I find interesting enough to arouse the desire to fuck.

Go You

I don't think you're looking for too much, naaaaaah. Your spirit knows what kind of person it needs, and in the end that's the only kind of person you will allow yourself to be with. Relax and have faith, knowing that those are two hard things to do, especially when you are lonely, which I don't know for sure whether or not you are.

It's Masseur, by the way, I believe, if you're a guy. Vocab Fun Fact for the day. It's also an art to be treasured. Stay in practice, it's easy to get lax and slack off. You lose your touch fast. I need to get back in the saddle.

It is indeed masseur, I appreciate the correction, it was bothering me in the proof reading but I couldnt figure out why. I am a very physical and affectionate person, and seem to spend an inordinate amount of time, with my hands on other peoples bodies.

excuse me but...

[hellarad.livejournal.com]

you amaze me.

Re: excuse me but...

[plural.livejournal.com]

is that a good thing?

Just my thoughts

[kansaschica.livejournal.com]

Actually, I read it as being someone who's had the meaningless sex/flings, knows they have their purposes, however empty they may be, but that's the point, that he is feeling empty. He wants more. Wants his (admittedly) high expectations, and more importantly wants his high expectations expected of him.

This poem seems to be one of an ultimate cry for love that actually means something.

Re: excuse me but...

[hellarad.livejournal.com]

it's whatever you want it to be...
but i meant it in no other way than wonderfully, if it helps.

Hmm
if I was hungry
which I am
could it be a sandwich?

I am only a man
probably a poor example of one at that
but I welcome you regardless

[witsbeginning.livejournal.com]

none of these seem in the least to grand of a thing to ask. i for one have extrememly high standards that when boiled down are really small unnoticeables that mean so much.

yes, you can start with the basics, looks, intelligence, blah blah blah.....but what really matters when you accept someone totally & unconditionally are the idiosyncrisies you can't live without: the way she eats her meal, catching your eye across a crowded room & at that moment you know she is ready to ravage your body in the privacy of closed doors, the tone & expression of her sneezes, the smell of the shampoo she uses....these things that you know by heart are what really matters.
