Can You Give Me What I Want

I love you/is what you say/and I don't /you feel you do/but let me tell you/what I need/I need a love/that's full of passion and affection/like love was intended to be/I need a love/that is flaming hot and has a romantic aura/like the crackling of a roaring fireplace/I need a love that is soothing to my heart like a tropical breeze/I need a love that is confident and knows what it wants/I need a love that is intense and enthusiastic/I want a love that whispers sweet nothings in my ear/I want a love that is spontaneous/yet disciplined/I need a love that is hot tub sexuality/red wine sipping/candlelit dining/I need a love that is faithful and trustworthy/I need a love that is expressive/I need a love that cherishes me/I need a love that sets an example/for young people to follow/I need a love that recognizes God as its source/so now you know what I want/so when you say/I love you/I don't doubt you feel you do/but can you give me what I want/honestly

it's james again. I think I missed the "w" in the word 'welcoming' in my previous post. Just wanted to correct it. James

Thank you so much for your comment on my poem. It is truly appreciated. I read a few of your poems as well and I like the thoughts conveyed, especially the poem relating to "perfection". That was truly deep. Hope to hear from you again. James

THANK YOU FOR READING MY POEM. I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO SUBMIT POETRY IN THE NEAR FUTURE. A LITTLE ABOUT ME, WELL, THERE'S NOT MUCH TO SAY REALLY OTHER THAN WRITING IS MY PASSION. I HAVE WRITTEN THREE PLAYS AND A SHORT STORY, AS WELL AS A BOOK ON MY LIFE, ALL UNPUBLISHED AT THIS PRESENT TIME. I HAVE DONE A FEW READINGS, BUT I FEEL IT IS MY TIME TO UNLEASH MY INNER EMOTIONS TO THE WORLD. ANYWAY, HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON. JAMES
