i want a poet who isn't afraid to read and write what he feels, but not so far into his craft that he's more of a woman than me. I also want this poet to be versed on guitar and piano, and i want him to know at least one Shakespearean tragedy like i know them. i want someone who can sing, and who will sing to me when he can't say what he wants. i want someone cultured. or someone who sings me tayswift with a hairbrush. Someone who understands me, likes me at my worst, and is able to quote Sound of Music or Mary Poppins (i'm not picky) line for line.
Pure rose, clean of artifice and rough sketches,
opening for us the slender wings of the smile.
(Pinned butterfly that ponders its flight.)
Rose of balance, with no self-inflicted pains.
Always the rose!
