Last year on February 2nd, Reya inspired us all to participate in the Silent Poetry Day. This comes, knock on wood, at an excellent time for me, since, knock on wood, everything in my life is going so incredibly well, knock on wood. I have never been so happy with the Big Three – Work, Home and Romance. The dogs are healthy. Gloom and Doom are in good spirits. My brother and sister-in-law just had a healthy “Baby Number 2,” and my other brother is doing well also. And Sherlock. Well, I just love Sherlock. So, just like last year, I’m going to post the lyrics of a song that applies to how I’m feeling.
So all of you, have a scandalous weekend. And, here we go:
*****************************************************
Life is a moment in space, when the dream is gone, it’s a lonelier place.
I kiss the morning goodbye, but down inside, you know we never know why.
The road is narrow and long, when eyes meet eyes, and the feeling is strong.
I turn away from the wall, I stumble and fall, but I give you it all.
I am a woman in love, and I’d do anything to get you into my world and hold you within.
It’s a right I defend over and over again, what do I do.
With you eternally mine, in love there is no measure of time.
They planned it all at the start, that you and I live in each other’s heart.
We may be ocean’s away, you feel my love, I hear what you say.
No truth is ever a lie, I stumble and fall but I give you it all.
I am a woman in love and I’m talking to you.
You know how you feel, what a woman can do.
It’s a right I defend, over and over again.
*****************************************************
Oh my. Did you just yack? Yeah. Me too a little. When did I get so sappy? I might have to go punch myself in the face now.
I did NOT yack!! It’s beautiful!
I’m so happy that you’re enjoying this phase of balance, happiness and satisfaction! Luxuriate in it!! BRAVO!!
Clean up, aisle 4.
Apparently I need a drink.
You have become a romantic sap. It’s about time! You know what follows…
Aww Velvet you have gone soft on us! (but it’s sweet).
Love is absolutely fantastic. 🙂
am smiling like a big dork over here. love it! but i also am in need of a large drink. 🙂
You’ve painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating
Going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall
Tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby
Don’t take your love to town
It wasn’t me
That started that crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go
And do my patriotic chore
And yes, it’s true that
I’m not the man I used to be
Oh, Ruby I still need some company
It’s hard to love a man
Whose legs are bent and paralyzed
That my wants and needs of a woman of your age
Ruby, I realized
Oh Ruby
Don’t take your love to town
She’s leaving now cause
I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I’ve heard it
Some 100 times before
And if I could move I’d get my gun
And put her in the ground
Oh Ruby
Don’t take your love to town
Oh Ruby for God’s sake turn around
My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask’d, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
~ William Shakespeare
(translation: beauty and love are in the eye of the beholder)
Heh… when’s the wedding?
I’m so completely happy for you and yet so utterly disgusted at the same time. 🙂
You just worry about the happy part.
hmmm!! love the lyrics and love that you are so happy.
You got so sappy somewhere around 1/17/07, since you asked. Enjoy it. Bask in it. Roll around in it and don’t forget to take a moment to commit the feeling to memory.
You deserve it all!
Mwah
That was you yacking? I thought you were just trying to make the high notes sound all throaty.
Plus: William Shakespeare? I’m pretty sure he stole that Nothing Like The Sun sonnet from Gordon Sumner…
I’m gonna puke…quoting song lyrics is tedious.
I’m glad you’re happy though, it’s a great thing for anyone. 🙂
How beautiful, I’m so glad you’re doing well :)! yay! And thanks for your comment on the fashion site, come back soon =)
Boy, did that bring back memories!
Oh, i miss that time…the pre-wedding bliss…stay there as long as you can.
Who is this and what have you done with Velvet? Jus playin! I’m glad you are happy with life right now! It’s about damn time girl.
Hey, sappy rhymes with happy for a reason. 😉
Today is national take over Velvet’s comments day. Consider this the first shot over the bow.
Dammit. Gonna have to wait til after lunch.
And we’re back. I’ve broken in and I am holding these comments hostage. I will check back in with a list of my demands, including but not limited to a lifetime supply of white chocolate Reese’s cups and Mountain Dew.
I’m willing to give you your Mountain Dew, but we’re gonna scrap on those Peanut Butter Cups.
Nice work, Velvet.
Can I post some poetry I penned in the sixth grade?
You don’t want to scrap with me! I’m armed with… um… this and this. You can clearly see I’m not messing around.
I am adding to the list of demands 2 packages of Orbitz cinnamint gum, 1 condom, $.47 in pennies from 1996, and one rodent of unusual size.
Comply!
