Must love rollercoasters. I mean not exactly roller coaster per se; although actual roller coasters would be a bonus. I am a marginal enthusiast. I mean you should have that kind of attitude and vigor for life and new adventures. Rollercoaster lovers are committed to experiences over things. Must love books, movies, museums, the outdoors, and live theatre. I want to sit in a room and read with you, and too you. I want to glance up and catch your face the moment it just enlivens, inspired by the joy of brilliant writing. I want to nestle close alongside you and share the electric energy that passes between the stage players and their audience both as they present and as we process afterward. I want to watch a movie, and discuss ourselves to exhaustion and collapse into each other. I want to experience art and history together and watch the aliveness the great humanities use to enlighten our mindfulness to the magic of living experience. I want to cuddle up alongside you by a fire, my arms wrapped around you, our bodies sore from hiking the splendor of a forest trail. Must have beautiful eyes; but then beautiful souls always have beautiful eyes, because it is the eyes that reflect most honestly the inner essence of the soul. Must be passionate about politics, religion, pop-culture, justice and the planet. That passion always shimmers when you peer deeply into beautiful eyes. You are the kind of woman who knows we have only one life to live in our time on earth and you plan to maximize it with mirth and In return, I will spoil you with with words and pour affection on your body. I will look deeply inside those eyes every opportunity I have to gaze. I will cover you in kisses so every inch of you knows how you excite every inch of me. I will kindle that shared passion for the extravagance of human experience. I will cultivate the planting of our sapling romance till it blossoms into the love I want to give and share. If you are that kind of woman, reach out to me. I am the kind of guy who's looking to fall in love with someone like you.

Can I whisper words for just your ears Words that will remain only between us? Can I tell you secrets and know they are safe? Secrets for you and me only Safe because they are ours. Will you veil my speaking protect it hidden inside you Shielded from the rivalries of the explicit and unconcealed? Will you accept my parlance Though my reasons appear abstruse? Listen not with conspiratorial ears at the revealing of this confession. I place my hand inside your hand I need to feel you hold me tight Our fingers interlocking As a tether between our hearts. I place my hope inside this trust I need to be grounded Trusting in our rooted past to untangle this Gordian knot.

Secret Confession
I want fireworks Not the "yeah, I like her I guess" I want explosions in the sky That thunderous boom that reverberates for blocks the array of spark and color Illumination that captivates the eyes. Is fireworks too much to ask In this, "You're an adult now?" world Is there no more magic left To dazzle when we first meet To consume the surrounding energy In a explosive fusion of simpatico Other needs ignored as we fuse I want to be her fireworks I want to be the blinding shock of light That wows and captivates her eyes I want to walk and talk and laugh and cry I want to hurt when we have to go apart I want longing to measure the moments away I am bored if not for fireworks Why bother with a boring rock Just because it is already laying nearby. I want a comet A conflagration hurling toward the earth. If she is not a shooting star Then what is there to chase? Or I want nothing at all Life is awash already with love, passion, and light every time I open my eyes and look So if a me and a her is going to become a we I'm gazing out searching for colored washed skies I want fireworks.

Fireworks
Do you know you make me sparkle? When your name is in my notifications. When I see you in a crowd of people. Whenever you cross my mind. Fizzy, bubbling up from inside. Each time I watch you smile Each time that we converse. Each time you cross my mind. Effervescent excitement Charming with your brilliant mind. Charming with your soul's vibrancy. Charming as you cross my mind. Do you know you make me sparkle?

I know the risks and think you're worth them. You may cost me a broken heart before this is over.

Costs: a very short poem
Teaching the eyes to shift To relax and see the world differently To observe the world not through Tired shapes we're conditioned by But to change the observation To recognize the realities Our experiences have clouded Quantum theory accepts that There is more than matter Composed of particles The observable though easy Is too simple for the complexity of reality The underlayment of reality Is waves of energy Rising and falling through Time and space The 4 dimensions of life Can be cataloged and understood But is woeful understatement To the depth of mystery If we are willing to observe Nothing in the universe Can be predicted with precision No outcome predetermined Only the frightening sum of Infinite chaos systemized to Appear comprehensible. All we can predict is probability Banking our future on possibility. So then how do I exists In these two states Seemingly so far apart Yet muddled by entanglement How do I both long for The possibility of seeming greatness And cower in the fear of those unknowns. There is no quantum vision Only hope and action And corrective lenses when Our myopia prevents Us from seeing the beauty That is just a single look away.

Deep Inside You Every bit of me Filling every bit of you in this act of *** Deep inside you Every bit of me Wishing it was the all of you and not just your ***

I understand the cutter. Loving you is My self-harm.
