"Poetic Reply - 31"
I did something silly this morning. I replied to a total stranger with what I deem as a romantic poetic response. I came across a posting for a date; it read "Poetic Search - 29". This posting was a poem that described a search for love or essentially for a date. His only request was a response that was "something deep and profound". I found this to be a challenge and it piqued my interest; so I replied not knowing anything else about him other than his age.
It took me about 30 minutes to craft my poetic response. This whole "poetic courtship" reminds me of how my ex and I first wrote each other poetry. We used to send emails to each other on a daily basis before we met. We corresponded for over a month before we met at a cafe. I still remember in one of my emails I wrote a short poem to him and as a response, he wrote me a short poem too. But ultimately, he wrote me a beautiful poem which he printed and framed as a gift to me. The poem described that day, at the cafe, where he fell in love with me.
My Poetic Response to "Poetic Search - 29" Follows:
Hallowing winds
Autumn nights
Glittering sea
Cast by moonlight
A gentle kiss
On the cheek
Remnants of love
Eternally we all seek
The flaming heart beats
Mimics the flowing sea
Free thy gentle love
Into my soul, let it be
Time may weather the man
Time may heal him too
Let this love be love
Let this earn a date with you
=================================
"Poetic Search - 29's" Posting Follows:
Cool breeze and autumn leaves
Slow motion daylight
Pairs of watchful eyes
Oversee the listings
Feeling the presence all around
Sexual souls seeking
Wounded hearts search for healing
Rent boys services raving
Generous gentlemen proffering
Kinks finding kindred spirits
Fetishes meet fooling fiends
No promises, perhaps regrets
Time now to place your bets
To take keystroke to flight
The night's endeavour
Aim for the flaming heart
Sail through the crimson clubs
And going faster than the beat of bass
And go like the music don't stop
Keep wading through the sea
Find the man trapped inside
Lucky to unlock his love
To discover the joy within
To experience happiness
No matter the fleetingness of all this
But it's a long, long way to go
Keep moving through the masses
You see a lover waiting
Is he yours
Or a projection of mind desire
Time will weather the man
Love or lust
Lost or found
Encountered or missed
Let it be serendipitous
Respond with something deep and profound for a date with this 29 year old seeking an LTR -- nothing less, nothing more.

Those are some pretty smooth poetic skills there. You are quite the romantic. To tell you the truth, I am quite jealous! *swoon* Take me now! lol. Jk! :-)
I really do try, but when I sit down to write poems, they become 90s pop song lyrics. Can't help it.
Actually, my first bf gave me a poem for our first month during my first year in college. It was nicely framed also and additionally adorned with spongebob stickers (our inside joke was spongebob and patrick). When we broke up, I gave away the frame, but I kept the poem in my special filer. :-)
awwww... You gave away your picture frame too?
Well, in addition to the poem, he also gave me a framed picture of himself. I kept it in my bedroom all the time. When we finally broke up, I gave his picture to his new boyfriend and asked him to keep it in his bedroom too. I also told him that the picture should be first thing that he sees in the morning and that it should remind him of his love for him everyday.
I kept the cafe poem and from time to time I would take it out to read and to think back to the happier days.
Dr. Stalker... since you are so nice to me... perhaps I'll write you a poem one of these days... lol... :)
