Because, this guy, upon seeing her dating ad, was so struck by her beauty that he had to share a poem with her.
*blink*blink*
Yea. It’s true.
From Dating Don’ts –Some guy writes:
Subject: Someone very special…
When you find someone sweet and kind in this world, sincerity and warm thoughts bring good things to fruition. I hope that is the case here with you!
My name is Stewart, I’m Jewish with a good soul and a kind heart. I am a good person who is genuine, honest, and compassionate– especially about my friends and family.
I am an author who has written several books about computers. I like to bowl, play pool, and am a sucker for a good love story.
This letter (and the poem below) is the best I could do to capture what I feel.so that I would not struggle any longer to communicate my desire to speak with you and get to know you! My heart says you are a very special person, and if I did not tell you this-it would both be a crime and its own punishment.
May I have the pleasure of hearing from you soon, please?
In all sincerity,
Stewart
——————–You who never arrived
in my arms, Beloved, who were lost
from the start,
I don’t even know what songs
would please you. I have given up trying
to recognize you in the surging wave of
the next moment. All the immense
images in me — the far-off, deeply-felt
landscape, cities, towers, and bridges, and
unsuspected turns in the path,
and those powerful lands that were once
pulsing with the life of the gods–
all rise within me to mean
you, who forever elude me.You, Beloved, who are all
the gardens I have ever gazed at,
longing. An open window
in a country house– , and you almost
stepped out, pensive, to meet me.
Streets that I chanced upon,–
you had just walked down them and vanished.
And sometimes, in a shop, the mirrors
were still dizzy with your presence and,
startled, gave back my too-sudden image.
Who knows? Perhaps the same
bird echoed through both of us
yesterday, separate, in the evening…
Oh, Stewie! [here I go melting in his romantic arms] Write some more poetry for me! Auuughhhh! I am melting into the romance!!
Seriously, poetry is amazing. I write some (shut up, assholes) and I can appreciate poetry when it’s very, um… autobiographical… Poems written for someone else always appear suspicious to me – it’s like brown-nosing. This is a supreme case of brown nosing. With a side of creepy.
I suppose it’s better than him sending you an excerpt from one of his computer novels. *ahem*
