ROMANTIC MUSINGS: Thief of Hearts
[image error]
“Steal a little and they’ll put you in jail, steal a lot and they’ll make you a king!” ~Bob Dylan
We all search for treasure.
Happiness, wealth, health, and love are the precious stones of the soul. Some hold more value than others depending on the perspective of each individual, but ultimately we hope to possess them all.
We dream, we plot, we hope and we pray to stumble upon these treasures without realizing that we already have one or two and only need the third to find the last.
Wealth goes beyond monetary value, but we only see our need for financial security. It’s a practical endeavor, and despite the family and friends who enrich our lives, we feel poor in the absence of fiscal wealth.
Our health goes beyond being in perfect physical condition, but we only see our self-perceived flaws of weight, unique features, and the scars of life. Is it vanity, or an unrealistic perception of beauty bestowed upon us by a society obsessed with outward appearance in lieu of inward reflection?
Though we may not be able to run a mile in less than seven minutes, we take for granted that our lungs have not failed us. Though we may need optical assistance to see more clearly, we fail to realize that we have not gone blind. Our bodies may ache, and we complain without realizing there are others who have lost their limbs.
Our inability to acknowledge our wealth of personal relationships: family, friends, and acquaintances…and the overall well-being of our health essentially robs us of our own happiness.
And so, we seek out the third: love.
For some it’s the love of our parents, our children, our friends and other relations, but for others it’s the search for that life-defining love that we pursue.
This love takes on many forms from: first love, lost love, romantic love, passionate love, undying love, and last love.
You’d think they are all the same, but in truth each contains elements of the others, yet possesses an identity all its own.
We search for these in many of the people we meet and may even be fortunate enough to one or two throughout the various stages of our lives.
The luckiest ones, I believe, are the ones who find two particular types of love in their lives.
There’s that love of your life, and then there’s your once-in-a-lifetime love.
They may resemble each other with echoes of passion and reflections of romance, but one will teach you how to love and the other will show you how you should be loved.
The first, you look upon with great anticipation and hope beyond hope that it will last forever. For some, it just so happens to workout in their favor. For others, destiny has a different plan.
The second, you look upon with suspicion and approach with caution. You’re more likely to resist it, and even convince yourself that you don’t need it. But in order to complete your treasure, you do.
It will resemble love as your remember it: the good, the bad, and the unbelievable, yet it will reveal to you things about love you did not know were possible. In essence, it becomes a curative journey for a broken heart.
Through the process of that salvation, you may not even realize how your presence provides the same comfort in return.
And as you dance together to the rhythm of your hearts, you reveal to one another the treasures of your health and your wealth and discover that you’ve found happiness hidden in the chest of your lives.
What about your hearts, though?
Where have they gone?
What has become of your most cherished possession?
The most fragile and priceless artifact of your existence. That rare gem you kept locked away in the vault of your soul.
What became of your heart?
What became of theirs?
It is then that you realize you have each stolen the other’s heart, and it is in that moment that your treasures are complete, for you will do anything to protect it.

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: A Love Song
[image error]
“A friend is always good to have, but a lover’s kiss is better than angels raining down at me.” ~Dave Matthews Band
I’m sitting by the window
Watching the clouds roll by,
Letting the rain fall on my face
To conceal the tears I cry
But these aren’t tears of sadness
For these are tears of joy,
My happy ending just began
In this story of girl meets boy
And I’d love to sing a song about it
My feelings composed for you,
Written in the melody
Is the secret of my heart – I adore you
My soul will be your symphony
A concert composed for you,
The harmony of my affections
To show you there’s nothing I won’t do
I’d turn this song into play
You’d be my opera and I’d be your phantom,
Let me be your lullaby
And you will be my anthem
The conductor directing the score
In the orchestra of my emotions,
A song heard halfway around the world
Beyond the mountains and the oceans
I’d compose another opus
You’d be the inspiration for the theme,
I’d compose another rhapsody
And tell the story as if it were a dream
I’d devote to you the chorus
And sing a song of love that is true,
I’d love to do it all
But mostly I’d just love to fall in love with you.

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: Wicked Desires
[image error]
“What I say is that the supreme and singular joy of making love resides in the certainty of doing evil.” ~Baudelaire (1821-1867
Fuck the butterflies.
Seek the flames.
Both will flutter wildly, but only one completes the night.
Pursue the scent of uninhibited passion and lead the fancy of your heart along the path of stolen glances and a risked caress. Embrace her the way the night holds the moon and surround her with the heavy desire of your heart.
Whisper to her the way a dreamer talks to the sky. Breathe into her ear the way the breeze of night passes through an open window. Write poetry between her legs and relish the flavor of her satisfaction as it seeps onto your tongue.
Elicit the secrets that escape her lips in moans of delight and memorize the way her body quivers beneath your touch. Erase her memories of the past until they become forgotten words and the only name she remembers is yours.
Want her.
Need her.
Claim her.
Lay her down and watch her writhe like the sea. Be her wind. Be her sun and stars. Be the moon that controls her tide, and you will find your reflection in her eyes. She will only see you. You could ask for nothing more and you will find nothing better.
Take hold of her wrists. Hold her down. Earn her trust and she will grant you desires normally reserved for her silent thoughts.
When she surrenders herself to you, she needs you to be certain about your feelings, because only the fires of passion will consume you both.
Butterflies are for the innocent.
In the delirium of desire there is nothing innocent about the wickedness of making love.

ROMANTIC MUSINGS: Fires of Passion
[image error]
“Where passion is not found, no virtue ever dwelt.” ~Maria Brooks; Canto First, Grove of Acadias in 1825
Oh, but what is love without passion?
A night without stars and the moon.
A storm of winds without the rain.
A kiss without feeling.
Can it be considered love without passion? A presence without want and need of each other is merely coexisting. That is no way to live.
It is an incomplete song.
It is an unfinished book.
It is a betrayal of one’s own heart.
For you see, we are driven by our emotions and must not refrain from expressing how we feel for one another. Where there is passion there is a desire to manifest the affections we have for the person we love.
Be it with a kiss, a caress, a whisper of our intentions when we pull each other close and our bodies become one.
We are incapable of avoiding this when we are in love, for love is the fire that burns in the hearth of our hearts and passion is the accelerant that intensifies the heat. The heat capable of providing us with warmth in an uncertain world. Its glow capable of illuminating the darkest corners of our souls. The blaze capable of consuming us, together…leaving us in a pile of ashes and dust.
We no longer exist as we once did, but instead we emerge like a phoenix reborn, two souls having become one. When we do this repeatedly with the same person it is akin to the adage that speaks of successful marriages being predicated on the idea that it requires us to fall in love many times, always with the same person.
Thus, it is incumbent upon us to honor ourselves and our partners by fulfilling the promises made in our hearts: to love each other unconditionally because that’s what true love is, that’s what it’s meant to be…passionate and virtuous, a fire and the breath it needs to exist.
