Being worshipped, respected, and adored.
Gratuitous public displays of affection and devotion.
The good life.
Making it worth it.
Doing it right.
Give it up for me.
And this little guy right here...
Keeping my family close. Learning more, getting better, handwritten notes and letters, acting, writing, singing, drawing, dancing, reading, teaching, performing. I love waiting tables... I think it's fun, and some of the most challenging acting you'll be asked to do. I love words. The written word, the spoken word, the words that we don't say, the ones we choose to use and the ones we throw away. Expanding my empirical knowledge to include other perspectives and truth, pushing my physical experience into things that I never knew I could do... Travelling. The open road. Open doors. Making s'mores. Avoiding being mean. Helping little people learn from the things that I have seen.
Front row tickets. Backstage passes. Previews, premieres, debuts. Incredibly intense pressure that drives me to produce. Being barefoot with my hair on the loose. Dark coffee, dark beer, tucking a pua behind my right ear and running down my road. Being proud of my friends. The story behind the music and the history of things, psychology, quantum theory, and the meaning of dreams. Doing my best. The benefits of sleep. Sunday Mornings, Saturday Nights, things you chance to find and keep. Change. Photos. Poetry. Mediation. Meditation. Stringing leis and taking walks with my dog. The real reason behind coincidence, dragging people off the fence, hearing my house heave with laughter... fairy tales and ever-after.
I'd like to meet:
Men! ... No more haole kooks!... Men like these :)
A Rock and Roll ripper who can back my tracks, match my stride, make me snacks, share my glamorous life, knock me out at night and wake me up RIGHT!
The man I want to meet is not in a bar
He is out somewhere sleeping beneath the stars
He is at home tuning multiple guitars
Singing and dreaming of me
Wishing for me before he closes his eyes
Waiting for me to come walking by
He is drawing in ink by candlelight
With lips stained from wine and a long, long night
He is thinking deeply about the meaning of Life
Of Family, of Love, and of the word Wife
He is planning the perfect words to say
The day we finally meet
Picturing the way we look walking down the street
Holding hands, making out, sweeping me off my feet
Picking me up, spinning me around, chewing on my cheek
The man I want to meet is not in a bar
He is out somewhere wrenching on classic cars
Learning French, studying the Gallic Wars
Writing sonnets about me
Mapping my character carefully
In art for everyone to see
Desiring on paper a woman he has never known
Devising me in his solemn head
Before he slips off to bed alone
He holds his breath patiently for The One
Knowing I will be his great reward when the right day finally comes
The man I want to meet is not in a bar
He is out somewhere playing hard
He is with the dog in the backyard
Schooling suckers on a board for me
Scanning the beach, hoping that I see
Coming shining out of the water
About to give me three sons and a beautiful daughter
Brixton, Cash, and Clash and little Loke...
Somewhere there is a match for me
With a broad, wide smile and flashing teeth
Somewhere a true man sits on his hands and waits for me to come
He will not settle for anything less
Does not want good or better, but Best
Every morning as he gets dressed it is with me in mind
The man I want to meet is not in a bar
He is a bright and shining star
Who has lived his entire life to someday be mine...
The way I live for the man I hope to find...
