Psychedelic Love

I want love 
Not the normal kind 
Multi colored hues
Nothing subdued 
  
I’ve got  a wildness in my spirit 
And I don’t want to be tamed 
Is there a man that is mature enough 
To be done with the games 
  
Can a man appreciate my freedom 
And let me have a voice 
Respect my decisions 
And respect my choice 
 
I want a man with a strength 
And a passion inside 
Not afraid of commitment 
Doesn’t feel the need to chide 
  
Where is that man that   
Can love without restraint 
To give his heart absolutely 
He doesn’t have to be a saint 
  
I know you’re out there 
I know we will meet 
Until that time baby 
Just know I’m complete 
  
I’m patiently waiting 
Most of the time 
But sometimes without warning 
I break out in rhyme 
  
Get here soon so we have time to play
I’m in the autumn of life 
And I can’t waste a day

Ms Ladeeee, I know the frustration you are feeling cause I'm feeling it too..I have been waiting for Mr Right and he has Yet to make his appearance..Someone indeed will be truly blessed to have a beautiful woman as yourself who possess so many wonderful qualities...I was going to say just be patient but I know that ain't easy either..I just will wish you all the best that God has in store for you...You just keep your head up and keep sharing your amazing gifts(poetry)..Lots of hugssss Tyesha

Hey, Laurie, I'm away past November and I can't help you find such a man. Most of the guys I know, old, old guys, would have a heart attack if they found a gal with "wildness of spirit' Seriously, I love your poem. Love, daver

So...where do you live? =) How ya been Miss Laurie?! I love this poem...that inhibition, freedom, and voice you wish to USE are the sexiest qualities you can possess!! Great write Chica! Glad ya liked "The Most Beautiful Women"....I wanted to sneak a dedication in there without a fullout grandstanding ass-kissing title displayed "LADIES OF POETRY SOUP, I LOVE AND WORSHIP THE GROUND YOU WALK ON"!! Not my style! = ) Much love, Steve

Laurie, I know what you mean when you say you "can't waste a day." Men should come with instructions; sometimes I just don't know what to make of the way they behave. And thanks for reading "Moon Child." Obviously it was for the acrostic contest. Best wishes, Carolyn

If a man needs something to tame, he should adopt a lion. If I had read this when I was young and foolish, I would have been boarding the next plane. Gotta love it!! Vince
