volcanic heat
simmering beneath the surface
I will wait for you
Move over Madonna. Sex in my sixties? Hardly. It's been a year and a half, and counting. This is the longest I've gone without as much as a soulful kiss since I was 16 years old. At this point, I'm holding out. I'm saving myself, like a virgin, for the big bang. No casual encounter will do. You want in? Good luck. My next lover will be magnificent. Never again will good enough be good enough. I want exceptional. And if the attraction isn't mutual? That's okay. It may be tiresome waiting for love, but we needn't fall into bed with each other out of exhaustion. Why search at all? Life is good, as is. I am a joyful, clear-minded, independent woman who has "done the work," as they say, and I have earned the right to be discerning. My sweet, self-examined life is my own. One day, I will share my love with a brilliant, self-aware, emotionally generous man. I look forward to it ... but no rush. I'll be here.
