Oh how I crave a


Oh how I crave a man of unfamiliarity

One that can match my intellectuality 
And adheres to my firm spirituality
One that doesn't have a player, dog mentality 
 
One that acknowledges my royalty
Stimulates my body,mind, and strengthens me emotionally 
Oh how I crave a man of unfamiliarity 
 
One that would rather spread love than spread legs and lies
One that can recognize the beauty in me that resides. 
Values education, religion, life and time
Loves his people as I love mine. 
 
I am not looking for a sultry smile or a hot bod
They ask me what I look for in a man and I say "God"
One that is patient, kind and humble
A man that can learn from his fall so he can never again stumble. 
 
That kind of man is an unfamiliar man to me.
Who will be the one?
What man can turn these unfamiliarities to similarities?
