regular comfort of words, love, 1 Comment
I do not know all the answers because I avoid some of the questions.
I have given the comfort of words when all I needed was for someone to hear me.
As the lightening lit the sky I sat in the dark and questioned why I could not be who I know I can be.
There is little I can give. Apart from surrounding you with the comfort of words.

regular love,, relationships, stuck on you Leave a comment
Stuck on you
I’ve got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can’t lose
Guess I’m on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I’ll be with you ’til the end
Guess I’m on my way
Mighty glad you stayed
I’m stuck on you
Been a fool too long I guess it’s time for me to come on home
Guess I’m on my way
So hard to see
That a woman like you could wait around for a man like me
Guess I’m on my way
Mighty glad you stayed
Oh, I’m leaving on that midnight train tomorrow
And I know just where I’m going
I’ve packed up my troubles and I’ve thrown them all away
‘Cause this time little darling
I’m coming home to stay
I’m stuck on you
I’ve got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can’t lose
Guess I’m on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I’ll be with you ’til the end
Guess I’m on my way
I’m mighty glad you stayed

regular lesbian, love,, peace 1 Comment
Following on from a question on one of the facebook groups tonight … a question was asked .. “what is your idea of love?”
It is a very difficult question to answer as there are many types of love. We are capable of loving people in very different ways, from the love we have for our family, the love for our friends or the love that can break our hearts.
Even a romantic love cannot be parceled up and put in a box. I have had various lovers over the years that I have loved, but I have never loved the any of them in the same way.
I probably have a very boring view of love. The passion and the drama are exciting at first but I soon tire of it and it is when this dies down that I begin to love, or not, as the case may be.
For me I need a love that gives me peace. A love that is independent and true. No drama, reliable, comfortable. The sort of love where you can sit in silence doing nothing and being perfectly happy. The sort of love when you think “we” instead of “I” and you feel comfortable in planning ahead.
A partnership of peace and contentment.
Too boring for some I know. But perfect for me.

regular love,, Mirror, soul Leave a comment
A quote by Rose Morgan (Barbara Streisland) from the movie “The Mirror has two faces”
l think l’ve reached the point where you know you’ll never get married.
Married? What’s marriage? A ring, a contract. Fighting, compromising.
lt can be more than that. You know what l envy about people in love?
l’d love it if someone really knew me.
What l like. What l’m afraid of. What kind of toothpaste l use.
l think that would really be wonderful.
True love has spiritual dimensions, while romantic love is a lie.
A myth. A soulless manipulation. And speaking of manipulation …
lt’s like going to the movies and seeing the lovers kiss …
The music swells, and we buy it, right?
So when my date kisses me, and l don’t hear strings, l dump him.
The question is, why do we buy it?
Because, myth or manipulation, we all want to fall in love.
That experience makes us feel completely alive.
Our everyday reality is shattered, and we are flung into the heavens.
lt may only last a moment, an hour, but that doesn’t diminish its value.
We’re left with memories we treasure for the rest of our lives.
l read, ”When we fall in love, we hear Puccini in our heads.”
l love that. His music expresses our need for passion and romantic love.
We listen to La Bóheme or Turandot, or read WutheringHeights, –
– or watch Casablanca, and a little of that love lives in us too.
So the final question is: Why do people want to fall in love –
– when it can have such a short run and be so painful?
– Propagation of the species? – We need to connect with somebody.
– Are we culturally preconditioned? – Good, but too intellectual for me.
l think it’s because, as some of you may already know …
While it does last, it feels fucking great!

It is your imperfections that make you unique and beautiful to me.
It is your acceptance of mine that makes me feel loved.
