A Silly Old Romantic...

[Arden]

Isn't It Romantic?
Ella Fitzgerald

Isn't it romantic?
Music in the night, a dream that can be heard.
Isn't it romantic?
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word.
I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
While all the world is saying you were meant for love.
Isn't it romantic
Merely to be young on such a night as this?
Isn't it romantic?
Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss.
Sweet symbols in the moonlight,
Do you mean that I will fall in love perchance?
Isn't it romance?

(instrumental)

Sweet symbols in the moonlight,
Do you mean that I will fall in love perchance?
Isn't it romantic?
Isn't it romance?

Good Evening Romantics....

I don't need to respond to everyone's posts individually. They all are beautifully intended for the one you have those special feelings for, or expressions of the heart.

It still overwhelms me somewhat...the life this thread has taken on. Romance is alive and well at Lit. Broken hearts mending with someone you have come to trust to let those walls down. Fullfilling relationships coming to fruition. Life is good again!

For the Love of My Life, my darling Goddess...

More than there are stars in the sky!!!

Looking at the heavens above
It is nothing compared to our sweet love
Forever and ever it be
Communication is our key

Though passions swarm
Life has forewarned
When times get rough
And real life sucks

The foundation we built
Will not be wilt
Have no fear
I love you dear!

 

[Feistyred16]

Love is wanting to share your life with someone to enrich both of your lives. To unselfishly give yourself to someone. To take what was separate and apart and make it one. How do you know when you are in love? You feel the other person inside of you.

I love you darling...

You knew I was worried about that last night...You always make it better...Forever
I Love You

 

[Feistyred16]

Fear not my love, take my hand.

http://mysite.verizon.net/vze399g7/pictures/red/ourTouch.jpg

I don't have the fears anymore...reaching for your hand

 

[webber1998]

I don't have the fears anymore...reaching for your hand

And I shall hold it tightly and close to my heart.
And never to let it go.

Heaven Is You Jon Secada


It's not your body
It's all in your style
Your warm and gentle personality
Is so beautiful darling.

Prayed for a perfect love then I met you
Sent as an angel to make my life new
God made the heavens and placed them above
But He left some hereon earth.

Heaven is you
You make me feel so good
Heaven is you
Every little thing you do.

Hold me tight in your arms
Everything feels so alright
And when you look into my eyes and say
I'm gonna love you till the day I die
I know that this is heaven.

Ask me the question I can't tell a lie
Cause your love to me is pure and paradise
Take me right now I'm yours anytime
Cause you're my happiness
You're my heaven.


In my thoughts tonight my love....

another poem inspired by Webber's pics

Tender...

http://mysite.verizon.net/vze399g7/pictures/sensual/109.jpg

my lips brush your hair
I breath your scent in deep
your essence caressing my inner being
wishing to intertwine your soul with mine

I have longed to feel you next to me
your body and your soul
here you are before me finally
yet I want to know you whole

I don't want to consume you in an instant
but to savour you through eternity
sweet nectar among my once dry soul
satisfying my thirst, nourishing and healing

I feel you beside me
sensing your heart and desires
my pleasure forgotten
for only our pleasure now exists

you have given me the world
with just one touch
I ask you to share with me your heart and soul
for the world is meaningless without you

our love has grown
soft as the breaking dawn
has awoken a desire to be yours
to hold, to kiss, to celebrate life with you

My Darling,
You always amaze me with your words and thoughts. The things that we speak of each day...You always seem to find that perfect picture or poem.
In them, I see many of our conversations...the ones of our prayers being answered, our fears, our plans, our desires and most of all... our love...
You are my forever

Oh Feisty...

You make it so easy for me. To feel the way that I do about you.
To make my heart skip when I hear your voice.
To dream so sweetly each night.
Your voice inside my head all of the time.
The warmth of your touch so near.
And you are my forever. I never thought it could be like this.
I did not believe my dreams could come true.
Until YOU.

Words are not enough .... I love you...

Love is feeling the pain of the one that you love, in your heart, when they are freightened and hurt. Wanting to be there to hold and kiss the tears away. Telling them that you love them no MATTER what. That they are all that you care about. Gently stroking their hair to calm their fears. Whispering I love you to calm their heart. Hold them tight, because you care.

Good point Webber. I think thats exactly what love is. I wish everyone felt that same way.

Good Afternoon Romantics!

My darling GoS...

The romance we share, the love that grows stronger by the day, is not limited to the passion we show each other in our lovemaking. It is in the day to day little chores of life together. It's in the gentle smile and warm embrase at the end of a hard day. Playing with the little one's so you can take a nap if you need it. All of it...in it's entirety. Living and loving as one.

I long for that day...and it is coming.

I Love You Baby!!!

 

[Phoenix Stone]

Oh, I needed this soooo much. Thank you for giving this great bowl full of kisses and other romantic gifts for all to read.

I'm new and it looks like what I want to talk about doesn't belong quite here. Can anyone tell me where it does?

Situation: I'm 20+ years married to the only man I've ever been in love with. Recently, after all those years, a good friend and the only one I've ever been in Lust with, found and contacted me. Brought back all those old feelings. So much that I started on boards like this to sublimate, keep me outa trouble. And because it's obvious there was some unmet Need, which I've been working on fulfilling at home.

Still, I've wondered about this other guy all those years and it wasn't just lust. We kept having near misses romantically, and he's the only one who made a dent in that In Love float I was on all those years ago... but I thought we were just good friends and bedbuddies. So kept my heart out as much as possible.
In some ways, it would be like going back home with him because we went to school together, are from similar cultural background, common tastes and interests... unlike my dh. I don't even have a clue how he feels. He has always been one to hold his heart cards to his chest. Got hurt and didn't like it. We've been writing as friends. Then started getting lusty online, which I kinda halted. Or maybe he did? Anyway, we're just keeping in touch now.

I was so SURE all those years ago. It's like Sleeping Beauty met Prince Charming and 20 years later wonders... what bout that Big Bad Wolf, (or thinks she may have missed the boat and should have been with Bugs Bunny.) I'm so Confused.... Does Literotica have a Mid-Life Crisis Thread???

I'm joking here but in pain, too. This is very hard on a romantic. My dh isn't the type who writes poetry, I am. He has written me some silly songs, though. Had one for me on our first date: something about 'my love is like an internal combustion engine....' Ok, ok, I know this isn't your classic romantic song but it was heartful. I'm more of a 'someone to watch over me,' type generally, and maybe the lightness has been good. Today he wrote me a song about 'that old nostalgia ain't what it used to be. It's just selective memory, like some kind of seive -- you remember what you got, not what you had to give....' something tells me he has a clue as to what I'm going thru.

Problem is, I can't seem to make it go away by thinking how stupid I'm being. And trying to make some online friendships even backfired, as now I'm halfway in love with one of them, too! Not kidding, unfortunately. And this isn't like me. It's like I've sat on and repressed the romantic and the lustful lover for so long, they just burst out, and now I don't know what to do with them. Help!! please?

(there's no one I can talk to about this. wouldn't want my rl friends to know.. and the online guy I used to talk to is in the midst of a rl emergency right now. Is there somewhere I can go here?) Thank you so much for any suggestions.

 

[Satin Kitty 69]

Phoenix Stone

You are welcome here even though your post doesn't quite fit the tone right now.

Although not hitting a mid-life crisis then, I too have been in the situation of with a wonderful guy who isn't perfect (no one is) and thinking about what if...regarding a guy who I had explosive chemistry with.

I don't know the answer to your situation, but if you want advice here it is: no one is perfect, fantasies and what ifs seem so wonderful and perfect because they gloss over many flaws, imagine trying to share the mundane part of life (dishes, cleaning etc. ) with the past lust/love, see him as real too with all his flaws...

When I did this I realized that while the chemistry was hot, and the conversations in depth (I like philosphical discussions but my guy doesn't), I wouldn't be able to make it through an ordinary week without fighting with the other guy. The fantasy cracked once I mentally test drove it through my daily life, and by mentally explorign the option no one gets hurt.

It also helped for me to spend some time away from my guy (visiting my side of the family without him), it was then that I realized I missed him more than my lust/love. Who do you miss more than? When you discover something about yourself or your life who do you wish to share it with? Who makes you feel complete (not just warm or excited)?

I don't mean to take over or tell you what to do, I just wanted you to think.

For the tired romantic in you:

standing before a mirror
hair no longer perfect
a face I know
but no longer well

It has been so long
since I gazed upon
this reflection
of the outisde of me

Realizing it has been
so long since I gazed inside
usually skimming only my current thoughts
asking the same questions.

I long to know this person
to take the time to say hello
and renew my acquaintences
although have never been physically apart

I search the eyes before me
for the hidden soul and heart
seeking truth, but also something more
seeking me.

For all of my earthly time
my eyes have been turned outside
seeking others, seeking place
seeking dreams out there

Now I seek them inside
knowing a palace
can never give a frozen heart joy
nor all the 'goals' of the world

Instead I seek to exist
with my closest friend
who I've neglected until now
me, myself and I

My eyes reflect my heart
brusied and battered by the years
then healed by friends and love
but still bearing the scars

My soul appears within their depths
once energetic at every instance of life
now tired from trying to 'get through the day'
seeking the only true respite, inner peace

Seeking and listening I find myself again
words of poetry, of love, of celebration
drift through me as I fall in love
with life again and with myself

____________________________________________________

I'm no expert at love by any means, but I have a pretty good handle on the pain and heartache caused by pursueing the "what ifs". I think you answered your own question in the first statement you made about yourself.

Lust is a fleeting if powerful emotion...and sometimes the drudgery of everyday life, and the comfortableness that comes with being with someone so long dims that lust. Love on the other hand is enduring, but you and your husband have to work to keep it bright...to keep the Romance alive.

____________________________________________________

Communication with your lover is THE most important thing to keeping love alive and vibrant. I'd say you need to make some time to do that. Plan a weekend getaway, from the house and chores and phone and puter. Just the two of you. And talk about your needs for feeling that passion again...from the love of your life. And you for him.

Just my thoughts...and how I've learned from my mistakes. Best of luck to you.

*applauds* excellent advice 69,,,, I totally agree,,,, since her first statement said she is married to the only man she has ever been in love with, most definately she needs to talk to him about maybe even exploring the sexual side that seems to be missing. If he loves her as much as she loves him then he will be willing to explore new things with her and spark that lust part that has been missing. Good luck!

As SatinKitty said, this isn't exactly the right thread for one who is looking for advice (look into the How To board for that - in fact there are a couple of excellent threads going there right now on topics close to this one).

However, I would take this renewed interest as a message from your heart of hearts that it's time to take stock of your life and your relationship. Not to dump everything, but rather to make an assessment of what's going well and what isn't. And then to be thankful for the parts of your life that are going well and take a "wrench" to the rest by talking with your husband and starting to work your way through them.

Another thread I will recommend (shameless plug warning, as I am the host and moderator) is called Defining Love. There you will find some excellent posts on how people in a wide range of circumstances see their love and how they approach their love lives.

Good luck. This is a great place to find ideas, good advice, and warm people.

 

[Phoenix Stone]

Thank you all so much!! I feel a little bit overwhelmed, in a good way, that you actually responded. Especially with me stepping right into the middle of your sweet messages to each other like that. Very touched.

I will look at those other threads mentioned -- I thought 'how to' was going to be all about writing and didn't look.

Reading thru all of your suggestions, it feels like I'm heading the right way. Especially helpful right now were Satin Kitty's tests:

Satin kitty said: When I did this I realized that while the chemistry was hot, and the conversations in depth (I like philosphical discussions but my guy doesn't), I wouldn't be able to make it through an ordinary week without fighting with the other guy. The fantasy cracked once I mentally test drove it through my daily life, and by mentally explorign the option no one gets hurt.

When you discover something about yourself or your life who do you wish to share it with? Who makes you feel complete (not just warm or excited)?

Right now, the guy who is most forthcoming emotionally, who meets me at my own level and gives like he gets, is my online friend.

One thing it made me realize is that to a pretty big extent, neither rl guy is romantic. My husband loves me dearly, and once said, when we had a discussion about 'other people' that one reason he would never have an affair is that he doesn't have anything left for anyone else, that he's poured all of himself into me. That one really got me and I was thinking about it for days, he so rarely shows emotion like that. When I told him how much I appreciated what he said, he said he'd been afraid to say it because he thought it would sound like stalking. After 20+ years, he could say something like that! Broke my heart a little.

Picturing my day with either guy, I'd have fun but would probably be lonely. As lonely as I am right now. The old friend might hold my hand a lot more. As a couple, my husband and I are a bit like Anais Nin or Mary Magdalene meets Dick Van Dyck. Maybe she needed the lightness and laughs, maybe he needed the passion and depth but eventually they need to revert, even if they love each other.
I'm talking myself thru this. Will take it to another thread after this.

Thank you Satin Kitty for the poem. It reminded me to stop looking outside of myself so much, to remember my center of lightness and oneness.

Thank you for stopping by and sharing a bit of your soul with us. Continue to post here and enjoy the romance. It is true that many messages are meant for a certain reader, but many more are meant for the romantic in all of us.

Let me know if you need anymore questions to add to the ones already in your mind, and don't disappear into oblivion, let us know where you are continuing your decision pondering.

This house of Romance was built on the foundation of Hope and Communication. Of Love and understanding helping to heal broken hearts...and celebrate ongoing and developing loves.

It has been an inspiration to me as well as a place to celebrate my love. Once in a while I'll make comments to someone who has doubts or is hurting. Other than that, there is no moderation needed. I don't presume to have all the answers, nor the willingness to pose further questions to an aching heart.

That is why GoddessofSouls and I built it, and have invited Romantics of every pursuasion to come join us.

Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss.
Sweet symbols in the moonlight,
Do you mean that I will fall in love perchance?
Isn't it romance?

SWEETHEART LIKE YOU
(Bob Dylan)

Well, the pressure’s down, the boss ain’t here,
He gone north, he ain’t around,
They say that vanity got the best of him
But he sure left here after sundown.
By the way, that’s a cute hat,
And that smile’s so hard to resist
But what’s a sweetheart like you doin’ in a dump like this?

You know, I once knew a woman who looked like you,
She wanted a whole man, not just a half,
She used to call me sweet daddy when I was only a child,
You kind of remind me of her when you laugh.
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,
It’s done with a flick of the wrist.
What’s a sweetheart like you doin’ in a dump like this?

You know, a woman like you should be at home,
That’s where you belong,
Watching out for someone who loves you true
Who would never do you wrong.
Just how much abuse will you be able to take?
Well, there’s no way to tell by that first kiss.
What’s a sweetheart like you doin’ in a dump like this?

You know you can make a name for yourself,
You can hear them tires squeal,
You can be known as the most beautiful woman
Who ever crawled across cut glass to make a deal.

You know, news of you has come down the line
Even before ya came in the door.
They say in your father’s house, there’s many mansions
Each one of them got a fireproof floor.
Snap out of it, baby, people are jealous of you,
They smile to your face, but behind your back they hiss.
What’s a sweetheart like you doin’ in a dump like this?

Got to be an important person to be in here, honey,
Got to have done some evil deed,
Got to have your own harem when you come in the door,
Got to play your harp until your lips bleed.

They say that patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings.
Steal a little and they throw you in jail,
Steal a lot and they make you king.
There’s only one step down from here, baby,
It’s called the land of permanent bliss.
What’s a sweetheart like you doin’ in a dump like this?

Good Morning Romantics...

Goddess...darling, I Love You!!!

I'M YOUR MAN

Leonard Cohen

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man

If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man

Ah, the moon's too bright
The chain's too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please, please
I'm your man

And if you've got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I'm your man
