Love It Old-Fashioned

I wanna catch that old school 
drift
Before the twerk was born and 
the sex was swift
I want that stones on rooftops, 
slow dance to the jukebox
Give me love letters and 
romance
Show me how it was before the 
lapdance

I want to share a love that 
breathes
Like gentle winds to guide our 
wings
Our love maneuvers sun swept 
skies
When waves incline with vicious 
tides and nature glares with livid 
eyes
I'll share with you my place to 
hide
We'll stand as one through 
bitter frost
When joys are lost
I'll be your smile

I wait for you to come my way
Your parted lips pronounce my 
name
Let dreams place me within 
your reach, though crippled 
hope may not seem keen,
keep savage faith in search for 
me
And when your longing makes 
you weak
I'll  share with you the strength 
in me
I want the man who came 
because I'm worthy
Not the guy who waits to tell his 
friends he had me

I want to love like nothing else 
matters
I want to love no one else 
matters
I want a love where I let 
somebody own me
I want love to love me so much 
that it yearns for me
I want love, real love 
To find me.

WOW - I think many of us look for the same thing - so honestly written about times gone by - but there are some real gems out there so don't give up. I have written a poem of a similar theme called 'just an old fashioned guy' check it out on my own page Jan Allison. hugs jan xxxx
