<\/p>\n
I love a man who walks away<\/p>\n
I love a man who loves me<\/p>\n
I love a man who laughs sunlight and candy<\/p>\n
I love a man who shines.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He is tall and he is handsome<\/p>\n
as a river is handsome, as a hearth is handsome<\/p>\n
beautiful in its nature, and also<\/p>\n
in the comfort it gives.<\/p>\n
Dark and good-looking, but his beauty<\/p>\n
is on his skin and under, warmth of a fire<\/p>\n
radiating love and loving-kindness<\/p>\n
I love a man who shines.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He knows how to keep them laughing.<\/p>\n
He knows how to make me smile<\/p>\n
when all the world is crashing and<\/p>\n
I forget there’s light to be had;<\/p>\n
he cavorts, he clowns, he teases<\/p>\n
he holds and strokes with sweetness and jokes<\/p>\n
until we are both giggling helplessly in each others’ arms<\/p>\n
I love a man who laughs sunlight and candy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I see it in his eyes, his face his smile<\/p>\n
in the gifts he gives me, not because he gives them<\/p>\n
but in the way he gives them; he wants everything to count.<\/p>\n
I feel it in the way that he holds me, soft and desperate<\/p>\n
Hard and soulful, he touches my hands<\/p>\n
He takes me, takes me down<\/p>\n
Like an animal, like a man, like a penitent god<\/p>\n
I love a man who loves me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He is a sunset<\/p>\n
bright and warm and lovely<\/p>\n
shining hottest in the last colors of the day.<\/p>\n
I want to sit and bask in the heat<\/p>\n
and brilliance, and hear the crows cry as they circle<\/p>\n
just a moment longer, another few seconds please<\/p>\n
but there’s just no use; the sun always sets<\/p>\n
And I love a man who walks away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
