New season, new mood, new music - ever get this feeling? Written by a woman for women, it still resonates with this man.

****cat Moan - Katie Webster

So many days
since you’ve been away, yeah
I often think of you, my sweet daddy
each night and day
Oh, but someday
someday, my sweet daddy,
you won’t be no trouble
you won’t worry my life anymore

You’re spending my money
chasing every woman in town
Listen, man, if you know you didn’t want my loving
why’n the hell didn’t you stop
stop and put my dollars down?

You know that’s the one thing
that’s the one thing
the main thing, baby
that could get you
a lifetime home in the ground
You even told my best friend
that you didn’t want me no more,
but I know that’s a lie
cuz every time I turn my back
you’re trying to sneak back into my back door

And I’m telling you,
I’m warning you,
if you don’t stop all that jive
and stop trying to be so high class,
somebody’s gonna shoot you
right dead in your mmmmmm

I can’t understand it,
why you don’t just pack your bag
can’t you see I don’t need you no more?
cuz my other man is just waiting
for you to step out of that front door
I’m sorry, baby, I warned ya
and now I’m for real
Baby, this here **** cat
ain’t gonna be your **** cat
no more

I'm a sometimes intelligent, always fun-loving guy, dabnabitall. Sometimes I'm too quiet and contemplative, but maybe that's just my quirky charm; then again, I might not be quite awake yet. I have a pretty quick wit (or at least half of one), and am not the ugliest mug in the kitchen cabinet.

I am looking for someone who can make me laugh & cry, and I love it. Or at least can tolerate it. Hopefully, they'll be able to tolerate my lame jokes.

For those that care, I have two younger children who live with my ex-wife - they are the hearts of my heart and I will not be leaving them anytime soon. If that bothers you, it would be just as well if you move on.

Some have said this profile is too long; some that it doesn't give enough information about me or my wants/desires. Here's an idea - write and ask questions. I'm a friendly guy and will pretty much talk to anyone or anything; shoot, I talk to the walls around here.

Thankfully they haven't started answering.

I still like this one, so I'm keeping it:

I am not sure of the first date (or meeting, or whatever one wants to call it). It should be simple, but secure for both of us. There's nothing wrong with coffee, I suppose, but going a long way I would think we'd want to at least do some walking and talking, too.

Anyway, the following describes what I would like to feel with that first kiss:

Of what does a true kiss consist?
Ambrosia on which gods subsist,
Tremendous heat which sun can't give,
God's heaven in one moment lived...

From Composition Of A Kiss by Abelardo Subido

and also, passion is dang important to me, so eventually I hope someone else gets what this poem says to me:

If questioning would make us wise
No eyes would ever gaze in eyes;
If all our tale were told in speech
No mouths would wander each to each.

Were spirits free from mortal mesh
And love not bound in hearts of flesh
No aching would yearn to meet
And find their ecstasy complete.

For who is there that lives and knows
The secret powers by which he grows?
Were knowledge all, what were our need
To thrill and faint and sweetly bleed?

Then seek not, sweet, the If and Why
I love you now until I die:
For I must love because I live
And life in me is what you give. - Because She Would Ask Me Why I Loved Her - Christopher Brennan

Now tell me those two are NOT the hottest pieces of poetry you've ever read...
