I want my man to be tall and dark and cute and bold
Broad shoulders, hot biceps with 6 packs to go
Nicely carved buttocks, footballer ties and fleshy cabs for support
Just because I want all my friends to be jealous of my favour
*
I want him to chase me around relentlessly for months
Tell the whole world about me on all fronts
Shower me with gifts of attention, fervour and gold
And when I finally say yes, I want him to be the happiest man though
Just because my kind is not easy to come by
*
I want him to take me on a cruise
Candle-lit dinners with more than a few to choose
Roses, porches, red carpets, birthdays to name a few
Private and family vacations as at when due
Just because I am the apple of his eye
*
I want him to kiss me all over.
Give me the head over and over
Penetrate like a gentle lover
Ride like a hungry beaver
Ice cream, edible lingerie and toys to make me quiver
Just because I am his only lover
*
I want his mother to like me
Call me son and pamper me
Take my side when we disagree
Just because I’m her favorite son-in-law-to-be
*
Sadly the man I want I cannot get
The men I like I cannot vet
And love so true I have not met
Just because my country isn’t ready yet

Some people ain’t got no chill…
?????
Max has never been in love,wouldn’t know it if it slaps him in the face
Oh Mandy, how pessimistic of you! Lol
You Stupid baked bean! This is poetry at its best. Near perfect rhyme scheme. Think outside the box. Learn to read and understand. This is far better than all of those insipid articles of yours…
well said. thank you!!!
A filthy troll should know when to shut his foodhole.. I bet you ain’t even smart enough to pen down a single piece yourself since you’re always busy spreading your bitterness everywhere.
Go get another job, cos you’re clearly failing at this trolling thing.
What a man…lol.
Fairytale romance things
Sounded like something written by a 12-year old teenage girl.
Get your head off the clouds and work towards becoming a man people would wanna be with.
Did no one else see how beautifully it rhymed? The rhythm is perfect!
even if this ideal man you want does come along, why would he settle for you? are you gonna be the man he wants too? seem it’s not only your country that isn’t ready for your love, you aren’t ready either.
love is about embracing another human being with his good bad and ugly, not treating people like a walking checklist of inhuman standards.
@khaleesi I thought the ryhming and rhythm were all over the place except the straightforward bit with the last verse
Even if Nigeria was ready to accept the LGBT, you wouldn’t get such a man. He doesn’t exist for women, na man he go come exist for. Mbanu. You don miss road
Why not write about what you’ll do for the man you want.
I loved this, not because of the fantasising but the hope it exudes. In all of the verses though, isn’t there anything you’d like to do for him? Anything at all?
The last four lines brought it in and made for a better appreciation of the entire poem.
A brother could only dream mate, I totally get you.
Well done.
Lovely.
To get a perfect man, become a perfect man!
Perfect rhyme scheme. I love. I just kove.
As expected some KDians would carry their pessimism and baseless judgements to this poem.
“…the rhyming was all over the place…”
“…written by a 12year old teenage girl with head in the clouds…”
“…be the man others would wanna be with…’ Bla bla bla
THIS IS POETRY. A young man’s singing wishful heart. A dream. Not some conditions/criteria he is giving the general public as they attempt to woo him. Just because you are too old to dream or to hope for such a man doesn’t mean you should go clawing at a POEM and the POET!
Chandler abeg chop kisses. I love your comment. This is the best poetry so far, he tried to rhyme. So it is infantile to dream or hope? *side eyeing max *
And for all those who feel he didn’t say what he would do for his ideal man don’t y’all know that when you are in love it brings out the best in you? Example max in love is so different from a boy friend less max.
*gathers my full petticoats and flees “
To be honest, the content is silly, and does seem like what a pubescent teen would pen. And I get that poetry doesn’t have to rhyme, but spacing a few incoherent lines every now and then doesn’t qualify as poetry
All I see is a beautiful poem. Just appreciate poetry??
