Desire

[Xipe Totec]

Desire,
to have you in my arms,
murmuring words of love.

Desire,
to feel your enchantments
and to kiss you, again,
in the mouth.

Perhaps I am crying
as I remember.
and my tears are pearls
cast in the sea
and the equator, rocking
makes this mournful song
create your presence
in my dreams

Perhaps you're also crying, as you remember
and you hug my picture in your frenzy
and your ear still hears
the savage melody
and the echo of the sorrow
of being without you.

Ansiedad,
de tenerte en mis brazos
musitando palabras de amor

Ansiedad
de sentir tus encantos
y en la boca
volverte a besar

Quizás este llorando
al recordarte
mis lagrimas son perlas
que caen al mar
y el ecuador mecido
desde lamento hace
que estés presente
en mi soñar

Quizás estas llorando al recordarme
y estrechas mi retrato con frenesí
y hasta tu oído llegue
la melodía salvaje
y el eco de la pena
de estar sin ti.

And I do miss my lassie...

Love's Too Familiar a Word (poem)

(Ellis Paul)

I stepped into the room late last night
because late is the time I keep
you were sleeping warm as coal
in a pocket of comfort and white sheets

but you don't startle anymore when I step into the room
though the hour is later than midnight
and neither window can place a moon.

"I missed you," you say
and it sounds like a promise
when whispered half asleep
your skin still damp with sweat
from thoughts your dreams refused to keep

I follow my memory to a switch on a light
"Shut your eyes" my voice cut short
when darkness turns bright

"Do you love me?" you say
but love is too familiar a word
for in this bed 10,000 times a phrase already heard
but, "Yes, I love you" speaks my reply
though I know I failed myself and you for not
matching how I feel with words of higher wealth

I know its lonely in the world tonight
because here is more than what's deserved
and the imbalance can't be summed in black and white
because love's too familiar a word.

It's been a favorite for a long time. I hope I get a chance to feel that way about someone again.

9. My dear Xipe Totec...

What a beautiful video/song that is.....

So much desire!

Sometimes I wonder just why we feel so strongly about another person...

Such strong feelings can really cause a lot of trouble.....

Of course, when you're feeling that way, it can also be heaven....*sigh*

Thank you for this lovely thread.....

:hug:

[Xipe Totec]

11. We all have those feelings of desire

The hard part is holding fast to them.

And remembering that once, we too loved with such fury.

Let it Grow
Eric Clapton
http://youtube.com/watch?v=rCzKMX3hJCM

Standing at the crossroads
trying to read the signs
To tell me which way I should
go to find the answer
And all the time I know

Plant your love and let it grow.

Let it grow
let it grow

Let it blossom
let it flow

In the sun
the rain
the snow

Love is lovely
let it grow.

Looking for a reason
to check out of my mind

Playing hard to get a
friend that I can count on

When there's nothing left to show

Plant yout love and let it grow.

Let it grow
let it grow

Let it blossom
let it flow

In the sun
the rain
the snow

Love is lovely
let it grow.

Time is getting shorter

there's much for you to do

Only ask and you will
get what you are needing

The rest is up to you

Plant your love and let it grow.

Let it grow
let it grow

Let it blossom
let it flow

In the sun
the rain
the snow

Love is lovely
let it grow.

Let it grow
let it grow

Let it blossom
let it flow

In the sun
the rain
the snow

Love is lovely
let it grow.

Let it grow
let it grow

Let it blossom
let it flow

In the sun
the rain
the snow

Love is lovely
let it grow.
