Buccaneerjay, 64

I would like to reflect not who or what I think I am, but to what I have learned the hard way. I have learned to listen, not with just my head but with my heart. I have learned to see beyond my own dreams and aspirations, I can now see my partners dreams and aspirations are as important as my own, a simple enough concept that can be lost if not caressed. I have learned to see the smile of a woman I love as something to be cherished. If ignored, that smile will fade and it is lost; but if that smile is nurtured, that smile can blossom into laughter. I have learned that not every touch or caress needs to lead down the path to the bedroom, that simply touching and caressing is the way that our hearts communicate. I have learned that passion should never be lost in the day to day grind of life but fired and stoked to keep interest alive. I have learned that romance is a physical form of communicating ones’ emotional feelings, that if romantic actions from your partner are dismissed or not appreciated, that shameful act is the same as dismissing their feelings. I have learned that romance fires the imagination of passion and that passion fires my world.
