I Am What I Am

I've seen the worst that greed can produce and the best that love can give.
I can put a face to hate and a gesture to kindness.
I know how even the smallest insignificant of smiles can make a brighter day.
I don't want to see life through rose tinted lenses.. I prefer them orange.
I don't abide by conventions.
I don't believe in wasting time.

To define me is to defy nature, yet I am a puzzle without the puzzling.

What else am I

Sane/Insane, Confident/Vulnerable, Warm/Romantic, Extrovert/Shy, Friend/Lover, Hippie/Yuppie, Metrosexual/Ubersexual/Sensual, Camden Chic Vagabond/Chelsea Dandy Tramp, Savant/Ignorant

I believe that ...

- committment is not a tropical disease
- a relationship is not the act of buying clothes together
- it's whats on offer both heart and mind that counts
- one-night stands are easy, relationships are not
- its the willingness to invest time:
. to know someone
. to make a move
. to show interest
. not to second guess
. to be frank
. to be honest, but most of all ...
. to be happy :-)

I want to be...

The wind that rustles your hair,
The sea breeze that cools you down,
The sand that rubs your body,
The hand that caresses your cheeks,
The icy water that tingles your skin,
The sun that warms you up,
The fire that burns within,
The earth where you stand,
The atoms that hold you together,
The air that you breathe.

I saw the ocean in your eyes,
The hunger and thirst in your soul,
The filth of our minds in your smile ...

Oh ma bien-aimee,
When I look into your eyes,
I loose myself in the extase it brings,
body to body, wrapped around you

then

I'm You and,
You are Me,
and Together,
we are ... One.

These are the things I like...

The smell of freshly wet grass after torrential rain
Splendour in the veld at twilight
Midnight skinny dipping
Sparkles in the surf at night
Roasting marshmellows by the fire

But most of all

I like

YOU
