She walks in beauty
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
Lord Byron
Freedom and love
How delicious is the winning
Of a kiss at love's beginning,
When two mutual hearts are sighing
For the knot there's no untying!
Yet remember, 'midst your wooing
Love has bliss, but Love has ruing;
Other smiles may make you fickle,
Tears for other charms may trickle.
Love he comes and Love he tarries
Just as fate or fancy carries;
Longest stays, when sorest chidden;
Laughs and flies, when press'd and bidden.
Bind the sea to slumber stilly,
Bind its odour to the lily,
Bind the aspen ne'er to quiver,
Then bind Love to last for ever.
Love's a fire that needs renewal
Of fresh beauty for its fuel;
Love's wing moults when caged and captured,
Only free, he soars enraptured.
Can you keep the bees from ranging,
Or the ringdove's neck from changing?
No! nor fetter'd Love from dying
In the knot there's no untying.
Thomas Campbell (1777-1844)
A special world
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.

My Eternal Love
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.
8 1000 Times For 1
If I have kissed you once,
I have kissed you a thousand times.
Each morning as I arise,
each night as I drift to sleep.
each hour of the day,
each moment as it goes away.
The kisses shared between you and I,
have many times reached the sky.
as your lips part and anxiousness increases,
your heart pounds and breathing ceases.
My lips leap to yours, hungry for the taste,
sweetness drips from you to me.
as desire grows, my heart races,
inches apart seems miles waiting.
The miles increase as space shortens,
time appears to stand still.
so close yet so far, when? now, please now?
Once more, 1001,
make it two, so many more.
caressing ever caressing those tender lips,
each time as the first.
If I have kissed you 1000 times,
I would give them all away.
to make the dream a reality,
and kiss you once.
. That's how it should be, just dinnae gie a fuck aboot what people think or what might happen, and listen tae yer fuckin' heart and conscience for once. That's how it should be - if the rest dinnae agree... fuck'em !
