A partner strong, yet kind and true,
With health and care in equal view.
Respect for self, respect for me,
In body, mind, and soul set free.
A spark that burns with shared desire,
Yet not confined to fleeting fire.
For kinks may thrill, but must align,
Or gently ebb through space and time.
Accept me now, for who I stand,
No urge to shape with heavy hand.
With honesty, both sharp and bright,
A guiding star, a source of light.
With means enough to chase the dreams,
To build, explore, and plot new schemes.
No struggle just to stay afloat,
But room to stretch beyond the boat.
A thirst for knowledge, mind so keen,
To learn, to grow, to paint the scene.
From pots and pans to steps in tune,
A soul that seeks the sun and moon.
A mind to match, a wit so fine,
A laugh that dances close to mine.
To hear my thoughts, my worries weigh,
And lift me when the skies turn grey.
Respect my limits, heed my voice,
For love must come with willing choice.
Compromise when bridges break,
Adjust, but not for hollow sake.
A rock, a guide, yet never chains,
A force that soothes, yet strength remains.
No bans or bounds without good cause,
No hidden rules, no hollow laws.
And when I falter, bare, exposed,
With wounds uncounted, still unclosed,
Let not my cracks be used to break,
But rather held for kindness’ sake.
Through trials faced, through joy and strife,
A steadfast bond, a faithful life.
In God and me, let trust remain,
A love unshaken, pure, untamed.
In all these things, I set my sight,
For love that nurtures, strong and right.
