Always
in the deepest sea blue night
you will drown in my mouth
my lips there
in the white morning the
voice of my breath calls you
trembling all you are
the clouds will chain you to me
helpless and in love
while my body skims over your
flesh...always elusive
Nadege
you will drown in my mouth
my lips there
in the white morning the
voice of my breath calls you
trembling all you are
the clouds will chain you to me
helpless and in love
while my body skims over your
flesh...always elusive

dance
"a love like ours will never die,
as long as I have you near me..."
~
tonight she dances
with her shadow
deep amber drink
half gone, my facade slips as
her lipstick forms a
ruby wet heart
at the thick edge of the glass
and I feel a desire to ...
my own heart,
unprotected
this bar drenched in candles
our bodies dip in passionate song
I taste the first tear
my heart leaps
as our masks fall away...
morning breaks
and I love her.

Five Languages of Love
An enlightening read!
According to Gary Chapman there are five languages of
love and we each have a primary language of love that
particulary answers our emotional soul.
1. Words of Affirmation - hearing positive words about yourself.
2. Gifts - receiving gifts that reflect who you are.
3. Acts of Service - having a loved one do something for you.
4. Qualitity Time - spending a long chunk of time with a loved one.
also under this category: quality conversation or quality listening.
5. Physical Touch - physical affection, not connected to sex.
Naturally, most of us may say we'll take all of the above. However,
not always true. Many of us can do without one, two or three of
the languages on the list. However, there is usually one or two that
we must have or we do not connect to the person on an emotional
or romantic level.
The trick is to figure out your primary language, usually it is how
we interact - we put out what we want,{ that is not written in
stone, sometimes we show love one way and desire to be shown
love in another way.}
A good way is to remember how a past lover or loved one made
you feel - truly loved. Often why we can't forget certain people -
because they read us completely right and followed through
with action.
Anyway, figure out what you need and then decipher what
a lover or loved one: mom, dad, bro, sis, best friend, good nabe,
favorite co-worker may need to feel emotionally ecstatic.
Emotinally ecstatic = open, safe and ready for committed love.
As well as improved relationships with family members we
previously felt didn't love us or vice versa {old friends, etc.}
A matter of love language clueless-ness.
And if you have children - don't forget to take into consideration
their primary language of love - mucho important.
I enjoyed the book and find myself having a good time discerning
my primary love language - I have two, actually {so there} & the
love language of the people in my life that matter to me.
An excellent book and very smart to keep in the home library.
