The Kiss / Rodin

Leaning Into The Afternoons

Leaning into the afternoons I cast my sad nets
towards your oceanic eyes.

There in the highest blaze my solitude lengthens and flames,
its arms turning like a drowning man's.

I send out red signals across your absent eyes
that smell like the sea or the beach by a lighthouse.

You keep only darkness, my distant female,
from your regard sometimes the coast of dread emerges.

Leaning into the afternoons I fling my sad nets
to that sea that is thrashed by your oceanic eyes.

The birds of night peck at the first stars
that flash like my soul when I love you.

The night gallops on its shadowy mare
shedding blue tassels over the land.

Pablo Neruda

You are in my head

Little Prince and the Fox

"To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world..."

Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss

"Oh foolish Psyche, is it thus you repay my love? After I disobeyed my mother's commands and made you my wife, will you think me a monster and cut off my head? But go; return to your sisters, whose advice you seem to think preferable to mine. I inflict no other punishment on you than to leave you for ever. Love cannot dwell with suspicion."

LOVE is a life full of seasons

Here is a nice section out of " The Prophet" a book composed of 26 poetic essays by Kahlil Gibran, Lebanese artist and poet. One of the chapters is dealing with topic of love. Bellow is a small segment that I like.

"But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears."

The L Word

Picked up from The Style.com

January 29, 2007
Men have been talking their way into women's pants since the dawn of human speech, but a new report shows some significant geographic variance in method. Harlequin Publishing (yes, that Harlequin) recently asked males in various countries whether they'd said "I love you" solely as a means of getting past third base. The results are striking, with Frenchmen appearing to be twice as likely to use the endearment as their German counterparts—though it bears noting that "je t'aime" does sound a hell of a lot sexier than "Ich liebe dich."*

France: 67%
The Netherlands: 58%
United States: 55%
Australia: 50%
Sweden: 43%
U.K. 42%
Canada: 38%
Germany: 33%

*Alternatively, of course, this survey could just mean that German girls are twice as easy.
