I Need Depth
Mid-level conversation with a potential partner
I need depth like a broader bandwidth
I crave layers of consistency
Like a triple-decker sandwich
I must engage in conversation, leaving a sensation
Of intellect, I cannot quite dissect
Yet each syllable equates to elongation
Longing for more chatting, for more eye-level talking
Making my seated self sink deeper into my seat
Responsive eyelash batting; your mind, I'm stalking
I need more than looks and charm to sweep me off my feet

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

This is a genuine declaration and bold. I really like this poem and can relate to it. Thank you for sharing Marilyn 😊
Yes, I need a deep emotional connection. Everything else is just so shallow. Loved your poem!
Good job. There is more to relationships that the physical package.
So good Marilyn. Yeah, pretty packaging is all very nice (for a while) but having someone who makes you laugh and 'gets you' is so much more important. This was brill.
There's always a great feeling accompanied to sincere, real conversations, even if it's just a one-moment thing ♥️ Marilyn, you'll have the depth, consistency, and sincerity to sweep you off your feet soon. :)
Wish more people would look for the depth, and not just "judge the book by its cover".
This takes time and if it stays it can be right, if not , it was wrong
As Rachel says, meaningful engagement is a rare thing. An intellect that is not overly complex and borders on sincere simplicity is the best. Too many times intense intellect is accompanied with a cluttered and confusing mind. The craftiest conversationalists often lack sincerity in heart.
Meaningful engagement. It is a rare thing.
