Unless the reformer can invent something which substitutes attractive virtues for attractive vices, he will fail.

And color tv, honestly

Wont someone please answer my prayers

And made fuss of me

To mr. hugh heffner confidentially
Dear sir
A single girl for my single bed is my remedy

I think all women go through periods where we hate this about ourselves, we don't like that. It's great to get to a place where you dismiss anything you're worried about. I find flaws attractive. I find scars attractive.

Obsession is an attractive thing. People who are really, really interested and good at one thing and smart are attractive, if they're men.

There's nothing particularly physical that I find attractive in a man. It's men with a passion for something that I find attractive.

As Far As My Eye Can See In My Body’s Senses
All the trees all their branches all of their leaves
The grass at the foot of the rocks and the houses en masse
Far off the sea that your eye bathes
These images of day after day
The vices the virtues so imperfect
The transparency of men passing among them by chance
And passing women breathed by your elegant obstinacies
Your obsessions in a heart of lead on virgin lips
The vices the virtues so imperfect
The likeness of looks of permission with eyes you conquer
The confusion of bodies wearinesses ardours
The imitation of words attitudes ideas
The vices the virtues so imperfect
Love is man incomplete

What I find very attractive, what I find sexual, are people who are unapologetic for who they are and comfortable with themselves. And I think with those two things sexual energy does come out because you're not hovering or censoring yourself, you're just being who you are. And being who you are is a very attractive quality in a person.

Of a Different Kind
I am not trying to find you attractive.
In fact,
Your comments about that is a distraction.
I am looking into your heart.
And listening to your mind.
Anything else you have to offer...
I'm sure in time I will find!
I am of a different kind.
And trying to find you attractive...
Seems more on your mind.
Not mine!

My Wife, My Treasure
My wife, my treasure
My enduring font of pleasure
Has many virtues that I admire
Many facets of which I’ll never tire
But the attribute which I hold most dear
Is how she grows more attractive after every beer

The Talent Of Love
To be very kind, considerate and attractive!
Like the crown of my love on you to be my lover;
This letter is to enrich your soul.
To be very kind, considerate and attractive!
This poem is to tell you how much i do care;
Like the emotions of my past in the wilderness.
Bounded is the sweet smell of your love,
And i am still the only one you need on this love;
Like the Great Himalayan Rahae to the tip of Africa!
Life is like that and i still love you,
So do wipe away your tears for i do care for you;
Like life in Astrakhan, Yogyakarta, Helsinki or Edinburgh.
I am still the one to share your tender love with,
So come and let me show you how real love does feel like;
Because, your love and your nakedness are all over me.
You are like the sweet apple never tasted before,
You are still the very attractive love along the line;
So come and let me show you the way with,
The talent of love so sweet to experience.

Anna Marie
The height of the door of your love is very attractive,
And it is like driving down the Kasoa Road;
But the truth is directly known by all and i will cling on to you.
Your love to me is more educative and attractive;
And your closeness to me is more lovely and romantic;
For the naked truth is your nakedness.
Anna Marie! You are the sweet thing that ever touched my heart;
And i will be there for you always like the sunshine,
So let us take a walk on this sweet love.

Nonetheless
One hundredth year celebration!
What is there in it?
It’s a just a number,
An attractive number, nonetheless.
The New Year celebration!
What is there in it?
It’s just a day,
An attractive day, nonetheless.
They are irrational
But joyous, nevertheless.

Dreams are dreams, enjoy them while sleeping
She came in my dreams
Wearing attractive clothing
Resembling a delicious ice cream
Packed in attractive packing
Felt like tasting her
To the last dropp
Enjoying her taste and flavor
Feeling her sweetness
Deep in my heart
I instantly liked her
Started looking for her
City to city, door to door
Without any luck
I got fed up
Realized the truth
Dreams are dreams
Enjoy them while sleeping
They melt like an ice cream
When eyes open

People
People
Have many
Virtues
And vices.
I have too ;)
I have many
Virtues but
My only
Vice is you
Though I
Don't feel
Guilty,
Indulging
In you ;)

Sonnet- You Can't Have Opposites
When vices, virtues are but parallel lines,
The former moves backward, latter forward;
No one can take the mixture of such wines;
No one can be both fish and also bird.
There isn't a hybrid of vices, virtues;
There isn't a place where both of them can meet;
Just one and only one, a man must choose;
You can't have Heaven's joy and Hell's great heat!
The virtuous way is like climbing a hill;
The road to vice is like slipping from one;
While God rewards Heaven as former's bill,
The latter, yields hell's eternal fire-den!
One can't be both a good and bad a man;
You try to have Heaven and hell, how can?

So Creamy!
So creamy!
So nice,
So beautiful,
So lovely,
So attractive! !
peacefully,
Passionately,
Romantic;
In the land of your muse,
With the joy of your mind,
Like the butterfly!
With the harmony of the sky;
The wind,
The blues,
The land,
The atmosphere! !
Of your love,
Living,
Better with true love than hatred;
Sharing,
Better with peace than war!
Unity,
Humility,
Joy,
Care,
Simplicity;
So creamy!
So nice,
So beautiful,
So lovely,
So attractive! !

Song (Is it dirty)
Is it dirty
does it look dirty
that's what you think of in the city
does it just seem dirty
that's what you think of in the city
you don't refuse to breathe do you
someone comes along with a very bad character
he seems attractive. is he really. yes. very
he's attractive as his character is bad. is it. yes
that's what you think of in the city
run your finger along your no-moss mind
that's not a thought that's soot
and you take a lot of dirt off someone
is the character less bad. no. it improves constantly
you don't refuse to breathe do you

Midas' Touch
Uh girl i love you so!
And i will never let your love slip out of my hands;
You are like a candy pulse which has never been touched,
And you are my 'Laisla Bonita'.
Take me to your secret home of love,
For you are the apples of my eyes;
And let me feel your attractive body closer to mine,
Like the dream that you and i have been waiting for always.
Your backyard and your big breasts are very attractive to me,
So come and touch me with this secret love of yours;
For i have the 'Midas' Touch' for your love triangle.
Don't run to and fro when, i am here fro you;
Uh girl i love you so!
And let your breasts come closer to my chest,
For you are all that i want and need.

Saying the unspeakable
Such as President Obama
may not say it; but I
who am nobody, may speak it:
the God of many names and One
does not wish division;
you and I (there are no others?)
do not wish division;
who makes division?
Why do all seek an ‘enemy’?
The dispossessed invent an enemy
on whom to blame their plight;
the rich invent an enemy
to excuse their greed;
those who worship God under one name
make enemy of those who worship God
under another name;
even those who worship God under the same name
make sects in order to invent an enemy;
is it because it is easier
to make an enemy than a friend?
is it easier to fear
than to love?
is it easier to hate
than to love?
is it easier to count to two
than think of three or one?
do we feel more powerful
if we have an enemy?
and now we fire at enemies
invisible beyond the horizon..
are enemies more attractive
to our life than friends?
Tell me, poets, tell me, sages;
tell me, saints; oh tell me God;
tell me, arithmeticians:
when division multiplies
our enemies, why do we
so love division?
The God of many names and One
makes division in Himself
with love and without hate;
you and I (there are no others?)
love each other all the more
in the sameness of our differences;
does human kind
now hate itself so much?
who thinks division, loves division?
makes an enemy of otherness?
forgets that God is One?

Red Alert!
She is a beauty to behold
Like a the masquerade on display
She is wrapped with attractive garment
Her Arabian perfume oozes out ceaselessly
Her jewelleries shine like oriental sunlight
The eyeballs glitters like a refined diamond
Her skin is as a succulent tomato fruit
She is damned too attractive
Beware she is a compost
Decorated with fresh green grass
She locates herself in thick darkness
Down at the street corners
Her wares are displayed for stray dogs
Like a hunter on expedition
She pounces on her preys
Like Delilah she bewithces
Making strong men to genuflect
Dragging them into abyss
Let all be at alert
Because she a red alert
