MAIL ORDER MALE

 He is
 neither slick nor slender or stuck too far away -He's humorous, unfettered andliving life, his own imaginative way. Shaped by mishapsshaded in craze -sometimes he'llsay he lovesme -only to confess that he's afraid.  He's pricelesshe's out-of-stockthere are no more made.What took me so long to see it -we were always on the same page!  He's flawed, he's human,he's the onehand-picked for me,not by some whim of mine -       but a fulfillment of  destiny. BjR  November 2, '09..

Region, Country: Tip of Southern Africa, ZAF

Favorite Poets: Too many to narrow down, but briefly :, AUDEN, T.S. ELIOT, DICKENSON, RILKE, THOREAU, RUMI ... the list is endless. Am inspired by many, especially those that live lives of "quiet desperation, and go to the grave with a song still in them" (THoreau)

Hey Boni

Awww, this is so sweet! I'm glad your hubby was impressed, he should be, as it is a lovely tribute. Me and mine have been married 27 an 1/2 years. It only took three tries for me. Always, Cat
