From a Passionate Swain a Straightforward Declaration of Love Is Made

I love women who gracefully dance
And sweetly sing; and women who 
Avidly read and who brilliantly think;
I love women who love to love—

And who despise to hate—and who 
Receive and give of themselves, as well. 
I love women who are outwardly 
Lovely—and inwardly beautiful; 

And whose beauty is obvious or hidden.
I love women who graciously give—
And who sparingly take—women
Who selflessly sacrifice and who 

Willingly pay the price. I love women 
Of all types—and of all dispositions:
Women of poise and refinement;  
And women of modest, self-effacing,

And humble repose. I love women who 
Are free to go—and who are free to
Stay—and women who are free to
Spite and loathe, and free to love.

I love women who are well-received,
And women who are well-spoken of;
I love women who are quiet,
And women who are bold and strong.

I love women who are reflective;
And women who are introverted,
And from time to time extroverted, too.
I love women who sacrifice for their family—

And who are kind to strangers—
I love women who value their loved ones—
And the dignity of others.
I love women who are chaste—

And exercise self-control;
But I also love women who are unrestrained,
And who are just full of desire! 
I love women who think deeply—

And sweetly—and act on their ideas,
And are entirely in their heads.
I love women who are smart and cerebral—
And women who are sensual and physical. 

I love women who are about God,
And women who are all about men.
I also love women who are pure in heart
And in spirit—and women who 

Are pure in everything else. I love 
Women who are robust and confident,
And are strong and sure—who are full of 
Self-esteem (and thus love who they are)!

I love women who are maternal,
And who—if need be—are paternal, too;  
And women who are protective—
And boundlessly affectionate as well.

I love women who give a damn!
And women who could not care less—
I love women who are hotly passionate,
And women who can be coldly indifferent.

I love women whose laughter is infectious—
And whose sense of humor is charming; 
I love women who can tell off-color jokes  
That are lambently witty. And women who 

Laugh at my own feeble jokes 
Simply because they like my style;
I love women who have class—
And are paragons of perfect poise.

I love women who are committed—
And women who are open to a romance—
I love women who are in love with their man, 
And women who are in love with their God.

I love women who are diligent on the job, 
And at the home—and are on top of things,
And do not miss a beat: women who know
How to relax and unwind—and have some fun 

After a hard day at work; and are restful 
And reposed after a Sunday afternoon of 
Lovemaking and can sleep like a kitten.
I love women who are delicately open 

Like a flower in bloom—or are securely 
Closed like a vault of treasure;
I love women who are beautiful 
And priceless like a diamond unearthed,

And women who are dulcetly 
Reminiscent of a Beethoven symphony.
I love women who are poetry in motion—
And women who are a statuette in marble;

I love women who are a breath of fresh air:
And women who are the epitome of Love—
And the embodiment of Grace, 
The mirror of Beauty, and the model of Wisdom.

I love women who inspire me to be a better man,
And by being themselves increase my love for them.
I love women who stir my love for others, 
And whose example revives my love for God.

I love women for all these reasons above: because 
I love my grandmother, mother, sister, and all 
My other female relatives and friends. But mostly,
I love them because I am both a Poet and a man.
