She gives him his eyes, she found them
Among some rubble, among some beetles
He gives her her skin
He just seemed to pull it down out of the air and lay it over her
She weeps with fearfulness and astonishment
She has found his hands for him, and fitted them freshly at the wrists
They are amazed at themselves, they go feeling all over her
He has assembled her spine, he cleaned each piece carefully
And sets them in perfect order
A superhuman puzzle but he is inspired
She leans back twisting this way and that, using it and laughing
Incredulous
Now she has brought his feet, she is connecting them
So that his whole body lights up
And he has fashioned her new hips
With all fittings complete and with newly wound coils, all shiningly oiled
He is polishing every part, he himself can hardly believe it
They keep taking each other to the sun, they find they can easily
To test each new thing at each new step
And now she smoothes over him the plates of his skull
So that the joints are invisible
And now he connects her throat, her breasts and the pit of her stomach
With a single wire
She gives him his teeth, tying the the roots to the centrepin of his body
He sets the little circlets on her fingertips
She stiches his body here and there with steely purple silk
He oils the delicate cogs of her mouth
She inlays with deep cut scrolls the nape of his neck
He sinks into place the inside of her thighs
So, gasping with joy, with cries of wonderment
Like two gods of mud
Sprawling in the dirt, but with infinite care
They bring each other to perfection.
Ted Hughes |

you are the bed of roses from which I bloom
without you I have no place in the garden
it is your true beauty which sets me apart
and it is your love which carrys me and places me on high
you are the real strength that brings me respect
you are the courage that wins me praise
your are precious more so than anything in this world
you are rare and will always be more precious to me than life and love |

My mum always told me that my sisters are the apple of my eye. I never understood that until I looked back and realised what a strong women can bring into your life, as did the women in mine.
This was an expression of what I think my mum was saying but it also a cornerstone of how Poylnesian brothers hold their mums in high regard and their sisters too. |

puti, uso, you're one of the funniest posters on here. your timing is impeccable, and extremely uncanny.lol u know wo' i mean.
Allow me to apologise if i upset or confused any of you earlier. I thought something was extremely funny and apparently there was nothing funny happening. Looking back, it reads as a rant, yet from my perspective at the time, it made sense. Sincerely.
This thread is one of the most positive ones on here, and look how the people are responding to it. GREAT idea liddee. Great isn't the right word, but forgive me, i work with 9 year olds all day.*lol
Smile people, keep this positive vibe flowing. |

*opens Pablo Neruda.....reads..*
I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.
I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.
I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,
and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart,
like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue. |

nice and tidy liddee

Musses over many things long passed under the bridge
Smiles at some very recent ones
Sighs deeply and nods his head |

*looking for a CD....Ahhhhh here it is...*
have brought you to the seat of sweet music's throne ...
to this kingdom where all must pay homage to music ...
music...
You have come here, for one purpose, and one alone ...
I first heard you sing,
I have needed you with me, to serve me, to sing, for my music ... my music ...
Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation ...
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination ...
Silently the senses abandon their defences ...
Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour ...
Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender ...
Turn your face away from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night ...
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before ...
Softly, deftly, music shall surround you ...
Feel it, hear it, closing in around you ...
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which you know you cannot fight -
the darkness of the music of the night.
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Let your soul
Take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me ...
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin,
let your darker side give in to the power of
the music that I write - the power of the music of the night ...
You alone can make my song take flight -
help me make the music of the night ... |
