I am originally from Ohio USA I enjoy a wide variety of interests including Nature & Animals. Photography. Astronomy (with a modest telescope). Dining out, films & cooking (yes I enjoy cooking). I love a warm friendly & inviting home with lots of photos & pictures on the walls. Plants & fresh flowers are also important in my home. I have them dotted around to add life, colour & fragrance to my home. Animals play an important part of my life including horse riding. I am an avid reader of almost any book I get my hands on especially history books. There is a large void in my life however.What I desire more than anything is a lady by my side to make my life complete. A lady whom I would be proud to call my wife, a lady who could offer her love in return. That lady & I shall become one in our bond; we shall become "us"... not "you & I".I dream of walking along a beach or country lane, holding the hand of the lady I love. She is secure in the knowledge of my undying love for her. Along the way I may stop to pick some flowers for her, so she can revel in their beauty & fragrance. If the weather were to turn cooler I would offer her my coat; if it should rain, my umbrella.I desire to see the expression of joy on her face, when I tell her every day how much I love her, appreciate & value her more than she will ever know. That she is a gift I will always treasure.I wish to see her delight upon receiving a present, something simple such as flowers, it may be more elaborate or a romantic dinner. It is a small token of my appreciation of her, to say thank you for being with me.To walk along the shoreline under the moonlight, arm in arm with the lady I love is something I dream of every night. Lay a whisper upon my pillow,leave the winter outside my door.I wake up lonely, a cell of silence, in the bedroom & all around.Hold me now, I close my eyes & in the darkness I dream away.Of a lovely lady, a breath of freshness, the promise of Spring.To comfort my night & fulfil my day.I need tender hands to take me all the way to paradise.Then when its over I have tender hands to hold you through the night.Through the day, for the rest of your life.You are my inspiration; you are my battle cry.Until I hear from you, please take care
