Romance Is Alive and Well

[Norfolkdave]

We have song lyrics, what about poems.

A gentle word like a spark of light,
Illuminates my soul
And as each sound goes deeper,
It's YOU that makes me whole

There is no corner, no dark place,
YOUR LOVE cannot fill
And if the world starts causing waves,
It's your devotion that makes them still

And yes you always speak to me,
In sweet honesty and truth
Your caring heart keeps out the rain,
YOUR LOVE, the ultimate roof

So thank you my Love for being there,
For supporting me, my life
I'll do the same for you, you know,
wife

:wa:

Here is one of my favourites by Pablo Neruda



I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

No One Like You
by Bill Turner

You are beautiful beyond compare
A combination never before seen
Your sexy, long, flowing hair
Beautiful soul and body lean

Words touching my heart
Love fueling my soul
Wanting to not be apart
Coming together, whole

Your look setting me on fire
Craving your loving touch
Body fueled by passion and desire
Coming together almost too much

There is no one like you
Seeing in me all that is right
I will always love you
Even when my world is black as night

You have given me such a smile
Showing me all your love
Oh to hold you for a long while
My angel sent from above

[Annie]

Wild Nights! Wild Nights!
Emily Dickenson


Wild Nights! Wild Nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile the winds
To a heart in port, --
Done with the compass,
Done with the chart!

Rowing in Eden!
Ah! the sea!
Might I but moor
To-night in Thee!

[Polo38]

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

-- William Shakespeare

[Jy]

A favourite by Emily Dickinson



Except the Heaven had come so near
So seemed to choose My Door
The Distance would not haunt me so
I had not hoped before

But just to hear the Grace depart
I never thought to see
Afflicts me with a Double loss
'Tis lost and lost to me

[KIRA187]

Your Name

I wrote your name in the sky,
but the wind blew it away.
I wrote your name in the sand,
but the waves washed it away.
I wrote your name in my heart,
and forever it will stay.

[MCat]

Elizabeth Akers Allen

At Last

At last, when all the summer shine
That warmed life's early hours is past,
Your loving fingers seek for mine
And hold them close—at last—at last!
Not oft the robin comes to build
Its nest upon the leafless bough
By autumn robbed, by winter chilled,—
But you, dear heart, you love me now.

Though there are shadows on my brow
And furrows on my cheek, in truth,—
The marks where Time's remorseless plough
Broke up the blooming sward of Youth,—
Though fled is every girlish grace
Might win or hold a lover's vow,
Despite my sad and faded face,
And darkened heart, you love me now!

I count no more my wasted tears;
They left no echo of their fall;
I mourn no more my lonesome years;
This blessed hour atones for all.
I fear not all that Time or Fate
May bring to burden heart or brow,—
Strong in the love that came so late,
Our souls shall keep it always now!

Your Name

I wrote your name in the sky,

WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE CANDLE LIGHT AND SOFT MUSIC OR LOG FIRE AND NO MUSIC FOR A ROMANTIC NIGHT IN ???

[Barkiss]

Crackling of a fire in the background is music...

[sweetgapeach]

I like the log fire and no music

[Norfolkdave]

A crackling fire, lights down low, the flicker flames on the wall, a soft rug, the warmth of brandy, the feel of heat on soft skin ---

WELL THATS A WINNER WITH THE BRANDY BUT WHAT KIND OF BRANDY ?:kk

[Norfolkdave]

you and cotties,,,why do i bother?

Ho Ho Ho....what have I done to upset you then

[Waltert]

Depends on the music! and the scent of the candle.

I am old so a nice classical - great!
unscented candle - GOOD
Some scented candles drive my sinuses crazy - BAD

A log fire with good updraft always - Good.

But actually for a good romantic evening it only takes me and my wife, with or without candle, music, fire, just need the right two people!

Thanks UK!

[spare_change]

In the hustle of today's life, we all look for the quick fix - the short answer. We seem to do this in our love life, too.

Is romance dead? Do you have romance in your life? Is love a function of feeling, or a function of time and convenience in your life? Does anyone court you, bring you gifts, appreciate you?



"Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much,
compared to the things that are said
when lovers touch."

[spare_change]

I spoke to a lady recently who said that her new boyfriend, after their first date, gave her a "jello knees" kiss.

Ahhh, the memories those three words brought back -- how long has it been since you had a jello knees kiss? Do you miss them?


It's been way too long. God, I want one, just one more, before I die.

LOL its dead in this house, apart from me buying flowers, and eating her faboulous cooking, the only estasy Odin has is when he has a pee....LOL

[dartgirl]

The only romance I get is what I get from PM's and email. Personally I think that after you have been married for so many years everything changes in such a way that the romance just dies. My husband knows less about me now than he did the day we got married and he doesn't even realize it.

Tell me about yourself and I,ll romance you..ODIN style LOL:lmao

[jmc3367]

the day to day grind, the kids, the inlaws, the job, and all of the other things that wears on us just sucks the romance out of relationships and out of life in general. funny thing though someone can come along and all of sudden there it is. I would like one of those Jello knee kisses myself. I know I would appreciate it more now than I did before. as I do a lot of other things.

[G...G]

I would give anything to feel like that again!!!:whee:

Good Morning Dave. How does ODIN romance a woman exactly? I kinda of think of vikings as the "Get over here woman and take care of my needs" type of guy.

Romance never dies but our hope may die..Romance is like happiness,it is found in a place where it is not searched for...You find it when you don't need it..I am a romantic man...I find it everywhere I want...

[pixiegirl]

Romance is not dead, it just moves lower down the list of priorities.


As for the jello knees kiss, I feel the only way that will happen again is with a new love, it's the excitement of a new person, that belly flip of a kiss that makes your toes curl.

[Frenchie]

I got to go with Yasar on this one

I think romance is there you just need to see it. doesn't take much either, just a hug, a kiss for no reason anything to let her know she's special.

plus you get great sex out of it!

[Misty]

The very notion of romance changes as we age. Now the heady ideas of being swept off my feet are replaced by that feeling of comfort at the arm round my waist, the snuggling up in bed and hearing him breath, feeling him put the covers on me at night ... knowing I'll still get my midnight birthday wish every year.
stuff like that makes me tingle even now after all these years

[yaser]

[Sandy]

we try to work it in when we can, our lives are so busy that sometimes we don't, we forget to take times for us, but its something that we are working on.

[spare_change]

The touch of the skin
the kisses she gives me
the look in her eyes
the touch of her hand

The feeling of me deep in her
as the lovemaking makes me on fire
The desire I feel for her
keeps me alive.

Romance is not something you plan, something you schedule. Rather, romance springs upon us from the bushes of everyday life -- catching us unaware, stunned by its intensity, overwhelmed by the power of it.

[spare_change]

"You can't make me stop loving you
It is simply to hard to do.
Like the stars and the moon
Stand out in the sky,
You stand out in my life.
Like the rays of the sun complete the sky,
You complete my life.

I can't stop loving you
It's too hard to do.
I ask myself, why do I deserve
Once again to be put through hell,
when all I did was love you?
I will always love you

I believe my heart will always be in your hands.
My soul and my life will always be a part of yours.

I simply can't stop loving you"

[spare_change]

Sometimes we make love with our eyes.
Sometimes we make love with our hands.
Sometimes we make love with our bodies.
Always we make love with our hearts.

[spare_change]

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you.

Another excellent thread, Spare!
Romance is a perfect word to describe doing the little things, the thoughtful things simply to bring a smile to your loved one's face.
Is romance dead? Absolutely not! As long as there are loving, giving people on this earth, romance will never die. Do I miss it? I miss romance so much that my heart aches. It's what makes you feel special, cherished, adored, loved. I would love to have the opportunity to lavish my attentions on an appreciative lover. I would spoil him shamelessly, and make him feel like a king.

When I first read this thread, I thought romance in my life is dead. Because I've leant to take it for granted. So I sat here and thought about it. Than I realised after Sunday[when I was fighting with my wife] what has happened since.


She bought a delicious dinner, stocked the fridge with beer and showed me her new underwear she purchased. Then comes Tuesday night, it's pouring rain at 11pm at night. She phones me and wants me to pick her up from work. So she knows I have to ride my motorbike and stand out in the rain until she is finished and she drags it out but pops outside to say she won't be long. I then have to take of my rain suit and give it to her so she doesn't get wet. I ride home and freeze to death for her. I see the look in her friends eyes when they see me standing in the pouring rain waiting for my wife. Their husbands are not there but only me.

As water is to a flower,
And honey is to a bee,
You are always there,
You are a part of me.

As the wind blows,
Through the distant land,
My love for you grows,
Never wanting to end.

As the stars are to the night,
And the grass is to the ground,
You must definitely know,
My love is all around.

And when there is no wind,
No land, night or sun,
I'll love you forever and always,
Even when my life here is done.

And when my days are over,
My life here on earth is through,
I hope you'll forever know,
I'll still be in love with you.

[Knightstriker48]

For the first time in my dismal life
I feel love flow in my heart
the same heart once thought cold and lifeless
fills with glorious joy and happiness
because of a woman
whose spirit is full of passion
her eyes that shine like sapphire stars
filled with warmth and beauty
a smile that brings happiness to my sad existence
I have never known love until now
because of the way she touched my heart
took hold of my depressed soul
and showed me the beauty of life's wonders
everything that I thought impossible
all seems to be within my grasp
I see everything in a new light
because of something I thought unworthy to feel
to feel love's tender kiss
and I bask in its beauty so
because of the feelings of a woman
whom I would love now and 'til
my heart beats its final note to life's great song

[G...G]

Rivers of my love run deep,
Into the valleys of your heart,

Neither height, nor depth,
Nor mountains too wide,

Could show you,
The depths of my Love,

Way beyond the seas,
Throughout all eternity,

Could never show you,
The depths of my love,

Into the sun,
Far beyond the sky,

A thousand tears,
That I have cried,

Could never show you,
The depths of my love,

Forgiveness beyond measure,
Memories to treasure,

Love written as a lullaby,
Enchanted dreams of you and I,

Could never show you,
The depths of my love,

Miles and time,
Song and rhyme,

Money or gain,
life or pain,

Could never show you,
The depths of my love,

Loving me, embracing me,
Eternally,

Will show you the depths of my love.

After reading some more posts on this thread, I had another thought about romance and what keeps it alive.

Oftentimes we get caught up in the mundane tasks of day to day life, such as who will drive the kids to soccer, if we can afford that trip, whose turn it is to empty the dishwasher.
Romance is about never taking another for granted. It's about expressing your gratitude that they are in your life. Romance is about finding a million ways of saying "I love you" instead of mouthing the words by rote. It's about making an effort.

You are spot on with your surmising what is romance and how to express it.

I believe that with romance we are playing with fire...the fires in our hearts and souls that so nicely mingle with endearment, desire, needs, fantasy, hopes.... and we have all been taught what can happen when you play with fire.

We know, yet we allowed the flames to burn in all their glory and enjoyed forgetting.

The rain of reality can douse many a romance.[/QUOTE]

Or, the rains can nourish it, cause it to bloom, stronger in the winds of adversity, brighter for the battle.

After reading some more posts on this thread, I had another thought about romance and what keeps it alive.

Oftentimes we get caught up in the mundane tasks of day to day life, such as who will drive the kids to soccer, if we can afford that trip, whose turn it is to empty the dishwasher.
Romance is about never taking another for granted. It's about expressing your gratitude that they are in your life. Romance is about finding a million ways of saying "I love you" instead of mouthing the words by rote. It's about making an effort.

Oh you are so right. Romance is when it is more about pleaseing your partner than yourself. Thinking of her first. Getting up to bring her coffee in the mornign while putting on her makup.

Other men said they have seen angels,
But I have seen thee
And thou art enough.

Niiice...I like that one

[NativeBreed]

When I first read this thread, I thought romance in my life is dead. Because I've leant to take it for granted. So I sat here and thought about it. Than I realised after Sunday[when I was fighting with my wife] what has happened since.


She bought a delicious dinner, stocked the fridge with beer and showed me her new underwear she purchased. Then comes Tuesday night, it's pouring rain at 11pm at night. She phones me and wants me to pick her up from work. So she knows I have to ride my motorbike and stand out in the rain until she is finished and she drags it out but pops outside to say she won't be long. I then have to take of my rain suit and give it to her so she doesn't get wet. I ride home and freeze to death for her. I see the look in her friends eyes when they see me standing in the pouring rain waiting for my wife. Their husbands are not there but only me.

[.it only costs a buck or two for a cab]

I hope this counts ....


No worries buddy, I'm pretty sure ya wife knew she can count on your help in anything however absurd AND I'm sure the other wives lookin' at ya standin' in da rain were adorin' ya and hatin' their husbands.

Thank you for your kind comments and gracious posts. Honestly, I was surprised - I expected this to be dismissed as the maudlin musings of a person looking back at what was missed, and forward to what may never be. Clearly, there seems to be some desire to share romance, to discuss it, to keep it alive.

Toward that goal, I am committing to posting something here every day. Not all of my making, but rather, something that captures the essence of romance. I invite all to post something - anything - to celebrate romance. I especially enjoyed the personal stories - very, very moving.

Thank you,

Spare

I’ve never known a love like yours
Nor thought it could be true,
But every time I kiss your lips
I feel what love can do

With hair like silk
And lips so tender,
Each moment with you
Makes my heart surrender

I couldn’t live, I couldn’t breathe
Without you by my side,
Never will I let you go,
My love will never hide

And in my heart you’ll always be
From now until forever,
No matter what, no matter where
We’ll always be together

- Ryan Brennan -

Hey spare, you know I,ll always post here, chris and I have something special, this year we celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary september 21st, but chris and I have known each other 41 years we started dating 1965, romance isnt dead in our eyes. Ok we have had our ups and downs, our arguements but we still love one another very dearly. We have come along way seen changes loved some not others but thats life and who knows perhaps we may celebrate many more years together.

damn spare you can have a woman melt at your feet, talking like that.

He sure can.....I'm reading this 5 days later and had to touch myself ;)

[MCat]

I lack the ability to adequately capture the depth of soul, the breadth of feeling, so I cheat - I use the words of others to show my pain.

You're doing a fine job...you have the ability to choose which words you want to use, and fine words they are...we know you are speaking from your soul.

[spare_change]

MY love it should be silent, being deep —
And being very peaceful should be still —
Still as the utmost depths of ocean keep —
Serenely silent as some mighty hill.

Yet is my love so great it needs must fill
With very joy the inmost heart of me,
The joy of dancing branches on the hill
The joy of leaping waves upon the sea.

[Norfolkdave]

Hey spare something you trod in to get you romantic....LOL

[MCat]

You will never know true happiness
until you have truly loved,
and you will never understand
what pain really is
until you have lost it.


I hope not to loose it for a very long time. I am so lucky to have romance in my life...

Its all the little things he says and does. Being a grouchy 49 year old woman, sometimes I don't notice them as quickly as I should.

Note to self:

be less grouchy and take notice of how lucky you are to have him in your life.

I don’t know what woke me – the dog, the kids, or the bright moonlight shining through the bedroom window. But, suddenly, I was awake, alert, on guard. I climbed out of bed so as not to wake you, and began my prowl of the house.

Nothing. I didn’t see a thing. Nothing was out of place, though, with three kids, I’m not sure where ‘in place’ was. But, it just looked like normal clutter to me. The doors were locked, the windows closed. I trudged back up the stairs.

As I entered our bedroom, I saw you still sleeping, that soft, secretive, smile on your lips. Dreaming, I suppose. I settle into the rocker by the window – the one that you used to feed three little babies, softly singing that lullaby, and coaxing them back to sleep. The bright moonlight decorated the trees outside, and lit up our room. I laid my head back, and watched you sleep.

It sure didn’t turn out like we expected, did it, babe? Life has a funny way of doing what it wants to do, whether we like it or not.

You know, I loved you from the very first minute – when you handed me that paste in second grade. You melted my heart. I think it was the sparkle in your eyes, or maybe it was the way you stuck your tongue out at me.

I loved you truly when you asked me to dance that time in 7th grade, when I was too shy to walk across the gym floor. But yet, when Mrs. Johnson announced, “Ladies Choice”, and I saw you walking toward me, I wanted you to ask me. And, you did. You didn’t complain when I stepped on your foot, or when I counted “1-2-3-4” in your ear. You didn’t complain about my sweaty palms, or when I slid my hand up your back so I could feel your bra strap through that yellow dress. A bra! My God, you were wearing a bra!! You didn’t complain when I bolted from you, back to the security of my friends, as soon as the music stopped. And, you didn’t complain when I didn’t come back and ask you to dance again – maybe you knew I was afraid you would say no.

I loved you unendingly when, at the eighth grade picnic, you agreed to go for a walk with me down by the lake. I spent the whole time trying to get up the courage to hold your hand – but I couldn’t. What would I do if you said no? If you said I was some kind of sex freak? And, when you surprised me and kissed me on the cheek and then ran away, I loved you for eternity.

I loved you forever that night in the back seat of my father’s Oldsmobile, when you didn’t stop me – when you let me get to second base, and then a little further, when you kissed me with passion and fever and heat and strength and desire. When you held my hand against your breast, and then lifted it to your lips and kissed each finger. Oh God, I loved you that night.

I loved you totally that night that, after a few beers that I had stolen from the grocery store where I worked, you gave yourself to me; you gave me the greatest gift you had, a gift of wonder and delight and sensation and passion and tension and release. It was that night that I knew we would be together forever. It was that night that the dream truly began.

I loved you the night you told me – the tears in your eyes, the fear in your heart. But, I didn’t care. I wanted the baby. I wanted to get married. You were my destiny; you were my future.

I loved you so much that day when you walked down the aisle – so pretty in white, the baby not yet showing. As you stood at the altar, the sun shining thru the stained glass windows made your hair look sparkle, your skin a soft pink, and a golden aura surrounding you. You were my vision, my angel – sent to me from heaven -- come to earth just to make me happy, make me whole. Your father was angry, but I didn’t care. After all, my dream was coming true. We were going to be happy forever, have ten kids, 5 boys and 5 girls, get very rich, and love each other endlessly.

That was 14 years ago, babe – and I swear to you that I love you more today than I ever imagined on that day long ago. The three girls look just like you – visions of nascent loveliness hidden in their cocoons, ready to spring forth as beautiful butterflies so each can leave tracks on another man’s heart. We weren’t happy forever - we fought, we argued, we loved. We didn’t get rich – we did okay, but we still have lots of bills to pay. We didn’t have ten kids – I’m convinced three kids is four too many!

But, we did love each other endlessly. You held my hand when I lost my job. You held me when my dad died. You encouraged me when I decided to change careers, and you followed me wherever my job took me. You made me a home; you made me a father; you made me a man. When, in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I forgot I loved you, you reminded me with a soft smile, a gentle touch, and the heat of the passion you carry so deep in your soul. You have celebrated my successes, forgiven my follies, and ignored my stupid jokes, even the good ones. And, through it all, I knew you would be there, to help me, support me, even guide me. I knew that no matter what happened, your love would protect me, keep me strong, keep me going.

Well, think I can go back to sleep now. Good night, hun.

[spare_change]

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and Ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seem to lose
With my lost saints -- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.


Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806 - 1861)

[Norfolkdave]

Every I love you, you whisper,
is like rain for the trees,
moonlight for the ocean,
nectar for the bee

Every kiss bestowed upon me
is like fragrance on flowers,
heat upon the desert,
mist from morning showers

Every glance in my direction
is like flame to the fire,
a twinkling of stars,
a spark of love's desire

Every moment in your arms
is like waves to the ocean,
a rushing, primal urge,
a sweet mix of emotion

Every passing year marriage
is like joy without measure,
a life without limits,
I shall love you forever.

[spare_change]

Every I love you, you whisper,

Like the ocean so wide and powerful with its waves rolling in and crashing against
The rocks
With the same force as my admiration towards the man I want to get to know
I want to know and feel his strength, and feel the power of his touch, crashing against
My soul
I want to feel his passions his desires and the dreams he has
Like the waters that go on
Forever and ever
I want to feel his tender touch caressing every inch of my body like the kiss of the sun over the ocean horizon,
Faithfully each morning
I want him to know that with each and ever word spoken is like a ripple that spreads throughout the deepest waters in My heart
For the day is coming closer and the nights are getting longer in the desire
To be near you
I dream of that moment when the waters of the ocean and the rocks of the cliffs finally meet
In a storm of passion,
His every touch will be like a soft caress to the rocks of the cliffs below
With each encounter will be like the waters stirring under the ocean so deep
With each kiss will be like a storm building furiously down beneath the earth
And deep down beneath my soul
And when the time comes for him to take my heart my soul and my body and make love to me
It will be like a wild storm out of control
With each touch, caress, and kiss he bestows upon me, will be like
Giant waves
Crashing vigorously with so much power and so much strength against the rocks,
Just like nature intended it to be
And just like I want him to completely take me
Then like the calm after the storm
I want to lie in his arms and hear
The pounding of his heart
Like the ocean waves
Calming and soothing
To my
Soul

Where Love And Lust Entangled
Sail With Me Upon The Seas
Of Danger And Despair

And Smell Your Wind Tossed Hair
Float With Me Up To The Sun
To Dance Upon The Flames
To Feel The Heat To Feel The Passion
And Never Be The Same
Glide With Me Into The Breeze
Of Romantic Wind
And Fall With Me To The Beach
To Make Love In The Sand
Live With Me In Paradise
Enjoying Sunsets Me And You
I'm Inviting You Into A World
In Which You Never Knew

Little pieces put together
a mosaic of memories,
tiny bits that make it whole,
like a cracked window,
through which people see.

A tired broken heart,
of jagged glass that lie,
in sparkling pieces on the ground,
and with trembling hands,
I cradle them with woeful sighs.

the delicate pieces of my love,
the shining joy of my adolescence,
reflections of my sorrows,
and melancholy everlasting,
as I hold my shattered innocence.

I've lost some pieces over time,
some I've tossed away,
others cut my hand without mercy,
and with my tears mixing in the wounds,
I put those back where they lay.

The shards on which I hold dear,
I put upon the injured wall,
pin them up fragment by shred,
to once again find myself whole,
praying my heart will not fall.

Like petite uncut gems,
my heart seems torn and hollow,
but the pieces that remain,
left on the floor where I fear to walk,
a path most fear to follow.

You walk in them without doubt,
you glimmer with a smile,
you eyes shine with gentle kinship,
and sitting in your angelic hands,
sets your cheer in denial.

The bits and parts of your own heart,
lay crippled and torn in your embrace,
your lonely tears betray the image,
your own mosaic was disfigured,
deep sorrow shadowed by a sunny face.

gingerly I collect each piece,
of your peaceful; merry past,
and try to fill what's incomplete,
fill in gaps and missing parts,
in hopes of something which will last.

Pieced together by pins, tape, or string,
against a wall that may shatter.
if we take our fondest moments together,
and make one heart between us,
what we left on the ground won't matter.

Thankyou darlin, heres another one just for you.......


How do I tell you how I feel about you

When
everytime i think of you my body shakes
everytime i see you my knees grow weak and
everytime i'm with you i dont want the time to end.

When
everytime i look into your eyes, i wish i was there
everytime i see you smile my heart melts and
every night before i go to sleep i pray we dont end.

I've tried somehow to say:
you're the sun that lights up my sky
the wind that keeps me cool on a hot summer day
and sweet incense that keeps me on a natural high

I want so much to tell you:
that without you with me each day my day isn't complete
that since day one I've always wanted to be with you
that no matter what's going on in my life
you're the reason there's a smile on my face
and that loving you seems to be all I need to know.

But everytime I want to
the words just wont come out
to you it may sound mushy or too cute
you may not believe it so it's better I keep my mouth closed

Then to try to tell you exactly whats on my mind
yet I wish to tell you that I'm beginning to
love you more with each passing of the day
and that I want to be with you
come whatever may.

Quick....he needs a bed bath and mouth to mouth

[NativeBreed]

Nice one Spare...This one has always been one of my most favorites! It's nice to read it again after so many years.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and Ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seem to lose
With my lost saints -- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.




Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806 - 1861)

Here's one for you Red


Red Hot

The first thing I noticed
Was the sun on her red hair
Turning it to blazing fire
As it tumbled
Onto the white flesh of her shoulders
The pastel shades
Of her meagre top
Struggled to contain the vibrancy of her breasts
And her naked midriff tantalized
The waistband of her skirt sat on her hips
While the white cotton below
Encased her rolling buttocks and strong thighs
A gust of summer breeze
Lifted her skirt allowing glimpses of her white thighs
Then as she walked
The sunlight behind her illuminated her form
More than hinting at the delights
Contained within the cotton of her skirt
My thoughts then turned
From her flaming red hair
To a burning desire

Kiss
I meet her gaze I help her stand
I hold my breath and kiss her hand
I see her blush her cheeks red now
I smell her hair and kiss her brow
It brings me joy to hear her speak
I take her hand and kiss her cheek
I feel her skin 'neath my finger tips
I hold her face and kiss her lips
Our love's true passions now begin
I caress her form and kiss her skin
Our passions flow like summer rain
Our love's fulfilled as we kiss again
In the afterglow in fond embrace
We speak of love and I kiss her face

by Paul Curtis

[Misty]

and here's for you sweet cotties before i say goodnite :)

Well she's walking, through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running wild
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams, and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind

When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free
It's all right she said, it's all right
Take anything you want from me
Anything

~Jimi Hendrix

The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings.

Rainy days and cold nights,
These are days I need you to hold me tight in your arms,
Hold me close and keep me warm,
Tell me I'm your good luck charm,
Look me in my eyes and tell me I'm the one for you ,
Tell me I'm your every wish come true,
Lay me down very gently,
Then make love to me essentially,
Caress my body from head to toe not missing a spot,
Lets play around like connect the dots,
Lets make each other hot till our body heat rise like a rollercoaster ride,
Take my body on a journey that never ends,
It always seems to just begin,
Make me climax like i never done before,
Do what you want to my body its all yours,
Rub me, lick me, kiss me, tease me do what ever you want to my body as long as its pleasing

Love is like war,
Easy to begin but hard to end.

Hmmm. I know romance is not dead. How do I know? Because I just talked with him a few minutes ago on the phone and he was in the shower singing terribly. I know that for as long as he is around, I will always have romance. Babe, if you are reading this, write something for me because it is hella very boring here w/out you. Give me something to smile about at work. Thanx:kk

Yes dear. Hmmm, let's see. I came from work late yesterday and I stopped by the drive-thru at starbucks and Cindy saw the truck when I pulled in. By the time I got to the window she had our two drinks ready but when she looked in and saw you weren't with me, she said sumtin' like..."Oh, sorry, I thought both of you were in there so I made ya guys drinks, I'm sorry". I didn't want to make her feel like her efforts was not appreciated so I told her..."That's perfect as it is Cindy, I'll have both drinks"...She was gonna say "but.." I cut her off. "She may not be in this truck, but she's always with me, thanks for getting our drinks ready...".....and I paid and told her to keep the change.

[Jy]

I carry you in my heart, and your tender words sustain me. Knowing you are out there somewhere helps me get out of bed each day and do what needs to be done. I carry you through the bleak times, the trying times, times of anger and of absolute despair. I stand tall knowing you adore me. I smile knowing that you love when I do. I press on, hoping that my efforts will one day be rewarded and I will look into your eyes and never have to say good bye.

Voice without a face
Pulling like gravity.
Waves of sound traveling
Over distant wires
Captivating all reasoning.
Echoing brain sensors with
Intoxicating feelings.
Overwhelming compulsion;
Thirst quenching
Hunger wrenching
Begging for more.
Illusionary images pulsing
Throbbing with desire and intensity.
Click. Dial tone. Waiting.

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

I love the way you look at me,
Your eyes so bright and blue.
I love the way you kiss me,
Your lips so soft and smooth.

I love the way you make me so happy,
And the ways you show you care.
I love the way you say, "I Love You,"
And the way you're always there.

I love the way you touch me,
Always sending chills down my spine.
I love that you are with me,
And glad that you are mine.

The wind whispers your name in caressing waves
As I walk alone remembering your silken touch.....
A tear slowly appears cold against my cheek
I ache for your tender touch
One last finger trailing my spine
One last wave of passion flowing through my body
The hair on my body rises
Even at the thought of you excites me to a frenzy
But, I must cool the embers
Let the fire smolder
Till I can add fuel to the flames
Sadness approaches
The wind howls
Sending pleasure through me
Again a longing only you can satisfy.....
And I am the only one who knows......
My dream lover
Who coming to me in my dreams.......
Departs with the morning shadows......................ODIN...ODIN....ODIN

I’ve never known a love like yours
Nor thought it could be true,
But every time I kiss your lips
I feel what love can do

With hair like silk
And lips so tender,
Each moment with you
Makes my heart surrender

I couldn’t live, I couldn’t breathe
Without you by my side,
Never will I let you go,
My love will never hide

And in my heart you’ll always be
From now until forever,
No matter what, no matter where
We’ll always be together

a darkened hallway,
we once were there,
you pressed your hips into mine,
I ran my fingers through your hair,
a kiss escaped this one being,
only us, two as one,
our forbidden fruit, sweet tasting,
we do this for more than just fun,
I hold you close,
you hold me closer,
never let you go,
is what he told her,
defenses are down,
the fear of falling slips,
temptation hits the ground,
your taste still lingers on my lips,
a dull throbbing pulse,
now the feeling,
your hands cradle my back,
and I'm craving your way of healing,
the thrill fills these empty souls,
a whisper screaming for more,
says patch up these wholes,
skin deep now out the door,
I lean into you,
you lean into me,
I love the way you hold me,
the way your kiss sets me free,
screaming in defiance,
self-pitied fear has slipped away,
you've lifted me the highest,
both minds focused on the lay,
he looks at me,
I look at him,
I smile back,
he forms a grin,
these words a love you,
mean soo much,
I'm begging, screaming for your touch,
I can't look and not do,
your blissful face cuts inside,
barriers kicked,
and the chastity belts thrown aside,
I give myself and you give back,
hearts no longer kept in tacked,
loves collide,
now giving slack,
we now know this is what we lacked,

When you are scared I will comfort your fears
When you need love, my heart I will share
When you are sick, I will be there and care

You will feel my love when ever we are apart
Knowing that nothing can change my heart
When you are worried, I will give you hope
When you are confused or tense, I will help you cope

When you are lost, and can't see the light
My love will be the star, shining so bright
This is for you, one that I keep till the end
For you are my life and friend

These words which express my feelings, speak of my love for you
From my lips these words spoken, will always be true
I have been blessed, with your hand in mine
Both of our hearts will never unwind

Pull me close and hold me near;
take away my pain and fear.
In the darkness of the night,

In the brightness of the sun,
show me that you are the one.
Give me wings so I can fly;
for I can soar when you're nearby.
Enter my heart, break down the wall,
it's time for me to watch it fall.
I've been a prisoner, can't you see?
Break my chains and set me free.
Strip me of my armor tight;
you'll find I won't put up a fight.
Release my soul held deep within . . .
I'm ready now, let love begin.

Im breathing in and out slowly
Trying to match the rhythm of your heartbeat
Feeling as if I can hear your soul talking
If I listen hard enough

I close my eyes
Submersing myself in this moment
And close off the rest of the world
Just to hear your peaceful breathing

Your fingertips touch and smooth my skin
As they run along my back tenderly
Your fingertips give me sweet chills on my arms
As they kiss the surface of my skin

We left the radio on
But it is drowned out by our beautiful silence
You hold me closer and closer
To see if my soul is talking back

I slowly open my sparkling eyes
And pray that Im not just dreaming
But then I see your bright, blue eyes staring back
And I cant help but fall in love all over again

You touch my face and smile
While I sink deeper into your arms
You bring your lips close
And gently kiss me with passion

I am frozen for the moment
And continue to melt with the love you consume me with
Every instant seems like forever
And every embrace is one to remember

I know it ain't poetry but it ain't no song without the music either but these few words make my heart stir

Jane says
I'm done with Cotties
He treats me like a ragdoll
She hides
The television
Says "I don't owe him nothing
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me or
Try again tomorrow"

"I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."

Jane says
"Have you seen my wig around?
I feel naked without it"
She knows
They all want her to go
But that's ok man
She don't like them anyway
Jane says
"I'm going away to Spain when I
get my money saved
I'm gonna start tomorrow"

"I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."
"I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."

She gets mad
And she starts to cry
Takes a swing but she can't hit
She don't mean no harm
She just don't know...
What else to do about it

Jane goes
To the store at eight
She walks up on St. Andrews
She waits
And gets her dinner there
She pulls her dinner
From her pocket

Jane says
"I've never been in love - no"
She don't know what it is
She only knows if someone wants her
"I only want 'em if they want me,..."
"I only know they want me..."

Reach for my hand when you need a friend,
To help you in your every day life,
When problems occur, and your decisions are heavy,
And things seem difficult in your life's strife,

Reach for my hand, I am always here,
Waiting to help you with anything that occurs,
I am your friend for life you see,
I will stand by you in all your endeavors.

At Last

At last, when all the summer shine
That warmed life's early hours is past,
Your loving fingers seek for mine
And hold them close—at last—at last!
Not oft the robin comes to build
Its nest upon the leafless bough
By autumn robbed, by winter chilled,—
But you, dear heart, you love me now.

Though there are shadows on my brow
And furrows on my cheek, in truth,—
The marks where Time's remorseless plough
Broke up the blooming sward of Youth,—
Though fled is every girlish grace
Might win or hold a lover's vow,
Despite my sad and faded face,
And darkened heart, you love me now!

I count no more my wasted tears;
They left no echo of their fall;
I mourn no more my lonesome years;
This blessed hour atones for all.
I fear not all that Time or Fate
May bring to burden heart or brow,—
Strong in the love that came so late,
Our souls shall keep it always now!I am in conflict :Shall I read the poem or look at the avatar..

We’ve become so close
since the day we met
from opposite ends
of the internet

We share our day
we chat at night
we wonder if
this could be right

I wonder what it might be like
to stand right next to you
I wonder what we might say
I wonder what we’d do

Could it be part of a bigger plan
designed by forces we can’t see?
for me to fall for you
and you to fall for me?

Would it feel the same
if we ever met?
From opposite ends
of the internet?

Seduce my mind and you can have my body,
Find my soul and I'm yours forever.
