The Egotist
« on: Oct 24, 2015, 12:43:48 PM »
                                                   How Do I Love Me.

                                     How do I love me.Let me count the ways.
                           I love my smile that brightens up so many peoples days.
                           I love my gentleness....never ever cruel
                            And that I am tolerant  with those who are a fool.
                           And as I walk my rear doth sway...and the strongest of men can't look away.
                           I love the thrill my nails would bring.
                           The pain ... the agony... the sting.
                           I love my eye that cannot lie...That show true love to just one guy.
                          And ,of course,my shape is perfectly formed when plainly clothed...no need to adorn.
                          I love the way eyes follow me, from strangers who delight to see.
                          O'h how I wish i could talk to ME... Hear the things I say..
                          To listen to my words of wit...and listen all the day.
                          I love me oh! so very much...I wish I could be 'thee'.
                          And then I could look all day ... at lovely ,lovely me.

  Please excuse any mistakes ..
Everything will be alright in the end, and if it’s not alright, its not the end.

Scrumpy, well done. I used to love that song of Don Maclean's 'Everybody loves me, baby, what's the matter with you?'  ;D

Poetic license Scrumpy., but heart warming and gentle to read.  Love is a subject I would not dare broach even for myself. I am reminded of a phrase I once heard "If you make friends with yourself you will never be alone".  You strike me as one of those people.

I am not sure if this is a compliment or not.. In keeping with the subject I will accept that is was.

Oh dear, it was meant to be a compliment scrumpy.  I did not see the poem as egotistical at all, just an attractive portrait of a woman living comfortably within her own skin.  Taken in that context, my quotation is intended to be going along with that general theme. To me, a mere male, it seems that a woman with such self appreciation would be an interesting companion.

It's made me wonder how Citizen68 is keeping.

She stopped posting soon after her partner died.
