A Romantic Poem

63 Qualities

By Jackie Griffiths

Intelligence to perceive
Sensitivity to not say,
Freedom to believe
Morality not for sale.

Patience with me
Loyalty to me
Curious about me
Challenging for me

(And all of this I do for you too)

Compassionate living
With spiritual consciousness,
Intuitive and giving,
Abandonment not carelessness

Impressive to me
Separate from me
Connected with me
Courageous for me

(And all of this I am for you too)

Physically aware
Non-judgemental about others,
The capacity to share,
Joyous hiding under covers

Uncompetitive towards me
Complementary with me
Understanding of me
Poetical about me

(And all of this I give to you too)

Creative, have self-belief
Non-petty and artistic,
Funny, providing relief
Clear but not simplistic

Loving to me
Caring for me,
Dominating over me
Uninhibited with me

(And all of this I am with you too)

Open-minded and musical
Genuine self awareness,
Dependable and reliable
Applying clear fairness

Serious about me
Adventurous with me
Tenderness for me
Stoking fire within me

(And all of this I inspire in you too)

Competitive in certain spheres
Communicative and complex,
Vulnerable to your fears
Conditioning held in checks

Happy near me
Waiting for me
Thinking about me
Laughing with me

(And all of this I provoke from you too)

Allegro con spirito
And calmness within chaos,
A touch of virtuoso
But beliefs not traded off

Sided with me
Longing for me
Sympathetic to me
Admiring of me

(And all of this I feel for you too)
