The quotes of others say it best
---------------------------------------- love is blind and lovers cannot see the pretty follies that themselves commit -Shakespeare Love has features which pierce all hearts, he wears a bandage which conceals the faults of those beloved. He has wings, he comes quickly and flies away the same. -Voltaire .....in conclusion..... Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you. - Kahlil Gibran |

love is a spring at which
----------------------------------------crazy they drink who've climbed steeper than hopes are fears only not ever named mountains more if than each known allness disappears lovers are mindless they higher than fears are hopes lovers are those who kneel lovers are these whose lips smash unimagined sky deeper than heaven is hell e.e. (again) If I said this week I am smarting I'd be a liar  |

Deliberation
----------------------------------------One part kindness, two parts truth Shake or stir - add vermouth Maraschino, one part twist Cherry topped, lemon kissed Slowly sip cocktail of love Chemistry undreamed of Served straight up or on the rocks Fate becomes the jury box -bjb |

As I drove into the car park of the 24 hour Superstore tonight on one of those my brain is wide awake trips
----------------------------------------There it was on the radio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVi4PUx8bXk I sat and listened in the dark, engine switched off. That's the place to listen to this - on your tod, in the dark near midnight, in a pretty desolate ASDA (owned by Walmart) car park. Getting home I have stumbled onto this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zInM4k9VERU before you ask - yes I know [Edit 1 times, last edit by David Autumns at Nov 28, 2013 6:42:38 AM] |

Nothing wrong with being
----------------------------------------a "romantic" ... some of the best folks are  There's only one movie that I've watched over and over again - totally addicted - I confess, "Dirty Dancing" (good stumbling, Dave) Catch the Wind - Love the lyrics! In the chilly hours and minutes Of uncertainty I want to be In the warm hold of your loving mind. To feel you all around me And to take your hand Along the sand Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind. When sundown pales the sky I want to hide a while Behind your smile And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find. For me to love you now Would be the sweetest thing, T'would make me sing Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind. When rain has hung the leaves with tears I want you near To kill my fears To help me to leave all my blues behind. Standing in your heart Is where I want to be And long to be, Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind. I may as well try and catch the wind. |

If you want to be haunted at night, when you can't sleep, try this one.
----------------------------------------Oh, my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch A long, lonely time And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine? I need you love, I need your love God speed your love to me Lonely rivers flows to the sea, to the sea To the open arms of the sea Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me I'll be coming home, wait for me Oh, my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch A long, lonely time And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine? I need you love, I need your love God speed your love to me "Unchained Melody"  |

Neil, many years ago, I was fortunate enough
----------------------------------------to have that song sung to me by a rather famous singer - from the back seat of a car. We were taking him to a performance and I was more than thrilled to share that experience. Thanks for the wonderful memory :) Remember this one? First the tide rushes in Plants a kiss on the shore Then rolls out to sea And the sea is very still once more So I rush to your side Like the oncoming tide With one burning thought Will your arms open wide At last we're face to face And as we kiss through an embrace I can tell, I can feel You are love, you are real Really mine In the rain, in the dark, in the sun Like the tide at its ebb I'm at peace in the web Of your arms "Ebb Tide" |

And yet another change of pace.
----------------------------------------UPID and my Campaspe play'd At cards for kisses--Cupid paid: He stakes his quiver, bow, and arrows, His mother's doves, and team of sparrows; Loses them too; then down he throws The coral of his lips, the rose Growing on's cheek (but none knows how); With these, the crystal of his brow, And then the dimple of his chin: All these did my Campaspe win. At last he set her both his eyes-- She won, and Cupid blind did rise. O Love! has she done this for thee? What shall, alas! become of me? BY JOHN LYLY |

Centrifuge
----------------------------------------A thought perhaps to flutter by Or so it seemed to be Never settling down to rest On possibility Tomorrow is like yesterday Which makes it all unreal And though you're here besides me Can my mind your presence feel Chameleon-like a change of mood What alien force erupts A cloud is cast upon the scene Confusion interrupts What lies beneath the static shell Waiting to break free And reaching out a lonely voice - I'm here inside of me |
