Perhaps this might interest your consideration.


Romance from Her Side

She dreams of that perfect romance by a soft burning fire,
that takes her by storm until her senses are sated and spent.
Her needs filled to perfection, her inner fire fed ever higher,
until only silence, breathing, feelings are left, her needs unspent.

Her moment of surrender as perfect as a surreal dream,
filled to overflowing with sensations like a tidal wave.
Sweet moment to recall in her mind when she so deems,
treasured images to carry her on, her needs to lave

Hmmm..seems to me that you could get that drama at home. Maybe it's time to pack up and leave Tahiti as soon as possible. LOL!

To: bentfeather; everyone

Matthew Arnold


Dover Beach

The sea is calm to-night.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; -on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window, sweet is the night air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-blanch'd land,
Listen! you hear the grating roar
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.

Sophocles long ago
Heard it on the Aegean, and it brought
Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
Of human misery; we
Find also in the sound a thought,
Hearing it by this distant northern sea.

The Sea of Faith
Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore
 Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furl'd.
But now I only hear
Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world.

Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,

Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.

by Matthew Arnold (1822-88)


The more things change, the more they stay the same . . .sigh!!!

Good night everyone . . .see you tomorrow.

Those old Delta Blues
still haunting my memory
