With My Head Sewn To the Carpet

I like someone 
who speaks all my languages
not just their own 
I love someone 
who when I get 
my head sewn to the carpet 
doesn't say 
"Good luck with that "

I hear you: someone aware of others, and a world outside of themselves. Well, can't tell you where to find that someone, but don't look to politicians nor Hollywood -- all I can say.

Hard to find people who hear what you are saying but when you do it means a lot. Another poem with some meat on its bones. Well penned. Poetry is alive and well on the soup. Regards David in NZ
