Passionate People

I’m interested in
sunsets and road trips
and people who don’t
settle for the ordinary
and those who believe
in myths and magic
I’m interested in
the ocean
not the shore and
late-night phone calls
discussing life and death
and everything in between
I’m interested in
conversations that
discuss the characters
in books in such a manner
that makes them seem alive
and I’m also interested
in storytellers
I’m interested in taking risks
not playing by the rules

I’m interested in those

who write love letters
And in those
with a beating heart
that is constantly desiring
something, somewhere
because I do not
settle for less
