A Silly Old Romantic...

[GoddessOfSouls]

My sweet love....now it is I who am speechless. Almost.


Standing on the mountain, or bathing in the sea
Would mean nothing, if not being with thee
As our hearts become closer and more intertwined
We both see that life just will be fine.

Walk with me, talk with me, hold me real close
Forever and ever sounds like a nice toast
We've embarked on this path with burning desire
To be with the one who is passion's fire.

Our love has no measure, reason or rhyme
Truely it be a Captains treasure of all time
Boldly, boldly we walk into the night
Searching, searching for that bright light.

I would stand behind you holding you tightly, looking out at the beauty we had created.....

Have I told you lately???

You just did in the very nicest way

 

[Icey*Fire]

"Butterflies"

When I think about you, I get this unbelievably intense feeling.
I can't keep from showing a smile.
When I hear your voice, this feeling comes again.
I get lost in your words, not remembering to speak.
When I'm aware of your presence, I become giddy.
The butterflies take over me and I want to shed happy tears.
But you stay so calm.
How do you do it?
I wonder if I look as calm on the surface as you do...
Or is it only me that has these butterflies?

I know that every morning I go to bed without her....

That is beautiful verse, and speaks volumes to the depths of your soul. I so much hope you success and happiness LizA. Have a good one.

Glad you liked it, 69... it touched me deeply when I read it!

BTW... time can and will change many things... One day, that bed won't be empty anymore!!! Hugs!!

[TantaLiza]

Last post til dreams encompass my soul...

Wild Nights--Wild Nights!

Wild nights--wild nights!
Were I with thee
Wild nights should be
our luxury!

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

Rowing in Eden--
As the sea!
Might I moor, tonight,
In thee!


- Emily Dickinson

I WOKE UP WITH THIS FEELING
THERE WAS SOMETHING I WANTED TO SAY
SO I WROTE YOU A SONG.



LATELY GIRL I'VE BEEN DREAMIN'
DREAMIN' 'BOUT YOU ALL THROUGH THE DAY
SO I WROTE YOU A SONG.



HOPE THE WORDS WILL BE RIGHT
WHEN I SEE YOU TONIGHT,
YOU'LL KNOW HOW I FEEL.

I'M NO LONGER ALONE,
THINK I'VE FOUND ME A HOME
AND I THINK IT'S REAL.



I WOKE UP WITH THIS FEELING
HAVEN'T FELT IT FOR QUITE SOME TIME,
SO I WROTE YOU A SONG.



ALL THESE THOUGHTS I'VE BEEN DREAMING
SOMEHOW I'VE GOT TO MAKE THEM RIGHT,

GOT TO MAKE THEM BELONG.
EVERYTIME THAT YOU'RE HERE

EVERYTIME THAT YOU'RE NEAR
EVERYTHING IS REAL.

I'M NO LONGER ALONE,
THINK I'VE FOUND ME A HOME,

AND I THINK IT'S REAL,
SO I WROTE YOU A SONG.

Good Morning My Dear...

Good Morning LizA...not feeling particularly creative this evening, but posting some songs I like tells the story.


Against the Wind

Bob Seger
____________________________________________________

Words and Music by Bob Seger

It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin'
against the wind

And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin'
Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind

Well those drifters days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
Well I'm older now and still runnin’
Against the wind


You have a good day, and take shelter against the wind.

I remember findin this poem when I was in 7th grade... we had to make a "book" of our own for English... mine was of love poems which I think I still have somewhere... lol To this day, it still makes me feel good to read it.....


I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.

I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.

I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can't help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.

I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple;
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.

I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good,
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.

You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign.
You have done it
By being yourself.
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means,
After all.

Hello my dear friend...

I can't believe it, I am away from lit for a few days and come back to find you with this thread...romance...my, oh, my...you know I never believed in that...throw away all the romance novels, the songs, the poems...but then God gave me a gift that has made me see the world in a whole new light and yes, romance is now a part of my life.

So for those who think it might not happen to them, I am living proof, that when you least expect it...the person that you have waited on your whole life will enter it...

I never thought I could love again, or even let someone in my life...not let them get close enough to me so they could have a chance to hurt me too...

I had walls built around me and a fortress around my heart...told people that I had a black heart, that it was dead, never to love again...

But the big guy upstairs had a different plan for me and I have never been so happy...

So good to see this thread is doing so well...

Take care my dear friend...my time here is becoming more limited but has been replaced by something so wonderful that I cannot find the words to describe...

Hugs to you!!!

HEY 69FOREVER

WHAT IS ROMANCE??! Is that when a person breathes heavily in your ear for more than two minutes on the phone? Is it when a person actually lights a candle for the partner rather than just throwing on the glow of a florescent condom? Is it when the Dom puts the collar on his sub instead of on her dog to take for a walk in the park?

I really don't know what romance is anymore, and I have been trying to follow this thread to get an idea. The dictionary defines "romance" as a love affair...yet, "romantic" is also defined as 'imaginative but impractical"

Excuse me for putting a bolt in the clouds here I'm just frustrated that my server still can't pull up those dirty pics you posted on the other thread.

Bless you, baby. If it's romantic to wish you a thornless rose garden from hereon, then count me among the romantics, my arms full of flowers extended to you. You are deserving of such pleasure, my dear. s

Hopeless Romantic

Wonderful! A place for hopeless Romantics like myself. I have often thought that I was born to the wrong time and place. I still believe in chivalry and damsels in distress. I believe in treating woman as if they are treasures from heaven. I believe in men standing up and fighting for what is right and true and virtuous. I believe I am lost in this uncaring and harsh world.

I have loved and I have lost! I have been enfused with passion and crushed with rejection. I have lived and I have died! Love is never an easy equation.

Sorry for the rambling but this just might be a nice place to call home. Now if I can just get my wife to think romantically I will be in heaven. LOL

Hoping to get to know more of you better and soon.

 

[EarthquakeMan]

Good morning to the romantics of Lit.

May today bring you the fire of passion and the tranquility of love.

 

[Soron]

For my lover and my best friend...

The richest love is that which lasts through time apart to someday be together.

I love you, Arden

 

[Icey*Fire]

FIRE & ICE

I stood there alone, raindrops falling energetically
all around me, all over me.
My body frozen to the core from the brisk winter
winds.
I was at a loss and couldn't bring myself to move.
Though this chill moved through me,
there was an uncontrollable intensity of warmth
from the raindrops on my face.
I could have sworn that my fingertips would catch
fire as I softly brushed the water from my cheek.
With the first movement of my hand removing the
rain...
I realized that the moisture was not that of rain but
of tears falling from my eyes.

I looked to the sky in hopes that the cool rain falling
would remove the hot tears,
but my thoughts turned to you and the release of
all of my emotions nearly set my face afire.

Leaves of every color fell around me making me
more than aware that change is inevitable and my
life was no exception.
not adverse to change but hopeful of continuance
of the past...
my mind went back to images of you and I~of our
dreams...of our shared happiness..of US.

All I know is that I need you. I want you.
And I cannot bear the thought of life without you.

I made it through this day of Fire and Ice,
as they play with both my physical and with my precious heart,
But it's not over.
It may never be.

My Dearest Sassy, I knew when you had time to shine around, you'd find it. Thank you for being my freind, so very dear....

You helped me to define what it was in my own life that needed mending. I've told you before, but will tell you again, how very happy I am for you.

And sassy, I've found her....and She me...it happened my freind.
Just wish we had the time to talk and laugh in my joy.

 

[69forever]

LOL ohh darlin, what are the odd's we just had this conversation
I got your Home! Morning Baby!!

My sweet, sweet angel, isn't it just amazing to think so much alike.

*posts sign...home, sweet home* Lol

Conjurs up memories it does. My Love.

 

[tonitits]

Good morning Romantics. Hope you have a wonderful day! Too tired right now to think of anything to post. Will try to get back later after sleeping! Hugs and kisses.

My Oh My...look who dropped by.

AH, I truely wish I could give you a forever dose of the happiness in my heart right now. And it was a bolt in the clouds that made me strong enough to approach this goddess.

Romance died for me long ago, then it hurt to much to stay so.
I opened my heart and soul, fearing the worst, but there are gods who hold our fate.

Romance can be and is all those definitions, at various times.

You like dirty pics???? AH, I'm proud of you.

Takes those flowers with a bow of my head, thank you Hon. You are so kind. Not the other personna, but you.

 

[69forever]

For my lover and my best friend...

I love you, Arden

And Soron, my freind, yours and Arden's are an inspiration to me as I embark on that journey.

Best wishes. *and any advise from you*

Have a good one.

True meaning of romance

What is the true meaning of Romance? Is it when you and your lover have put aside differences to make up and become as one again? Is it when a Master looks at his sub and forgives her for a small transgression not seeking her punishment? Is it waking up knowing there is something you must do in order to make your mates life happier when you really don't want to?
Love can be expressed in so many ways and not always does it seem romantic but many times it truly is.
A shining knight goes on a quest to capture a relic to give to a maiden's lord so that he may ask for her hand. That encompasses all aspects of Romance and so much more.

Taken aback

I am very much taken aback by all the strong words and intense feelings that everyone expresses here. I am in awe of how eloquently you all state your inner feelings. I dont know if I am in the same class but I am certainly going to give it a try. My passion for life has of late been doused but perhaps here I may regain what has been lost.

Mine has too Sir, thats why I pop in here now and then..keeps me going!..*smiles*

Nice to have ya here.

 

[Spiderich]

Thank you for the kind words.

I just lost a very dear friend who meant the world to me and I can't seem to get over it. It is like a piece of my heart is gone and won't heal. The pain is great and the lust for life diminished. The tears are but a tissue away and the hurt multiplied a hundred fold. I do apologize for this is not the forum for my grief.

But perhaps with kind words and feelings of sunshine and laughter I may yet heal.

Add time to that sweetheart.....time is such a friend , people just don't realize. I am so sorry for your loss..I truly am. A loss like that is devastating...but it is seriously amazing at how you grow from such a terrible tragedy. I'll keep you in my thoughts Spider...and just know there are people out there who truly care...*hugs you tight, hold you while you cry*

Feel free to pm me if you ever need a shoulder, or an ear...
