a story of L-O-V-E

life with its odd endings and beginnings,
its occasionally very painful middles,
its riddles,
its surprise hellos,
and at times astonashing adieus,
its greens.. its grays..
its reds.. its blues..
its flowers which come..
like sunbursts on a gloomy day,
given by a man you barely know,
and its birthdays forgotten by the men you love...

life, with its rare gifts,
its strange charm,
its strong arm,
its vast sass,
its more than occasional boot in the ass,
its blunt pain.. its bleak rain..
its sorrow.. and its grief...
is somehow all too brief.. too brief, my friends..

like a cinderella ball..
so deck the halls,
put on your pumps,
your furs.. your minks..
don't shrink,
put your tiara on.. step out,
prance high.. chin up,
dance nigh.. the flame..
with eyes aglow..
and above all.. dear friends..
before you go..
before it ends..
and there remains..
no further tale to tell,

dare once.. twice..
often if you choose,
but dare..
yes! dare to love -
and if you do -
make sure that you love W-E-L-L

for L-O-V-E is worth it all..
(@ santika)
for love is worth a call..
(remember how much love calls we've vowed?)
for love is worth a dream..
(remember how many nights you hold me in your arms,
so i won't stay awake of bad dreams each nights?)
for love is worth a scheme..
(please count our scheme, my dear)
for love is worth a sleepless night..
(how i treasure each sleepless night we've had..
remember we both passing sms christmas night?)
for love is worth a carriage ride..
(still counting, my darling..)
for love is worth even for crossing half the world..
(please make the process worth waiting, my dear.. and i will)

for a glimpse, a touch, a truth...
for love is our youth..
is fun.. and not to be 'was'..
is grand .. and should be 'will' too..

it's carnival..
an opera ball..

for truth to tell:
L-O-V-E is L-I-F-E
and L-I-F-E is L-O-V-E

and L-O-V-E is 'all'
it is 'us' .. it's for us if we hold on..

L-O-V-E ... natalie cole (a canorous)
"Love was made for me and you"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[L] is for the way you look at me
[O] is for the only one I see
[V] is very, very extraordinary
[E] is even more than anyone that you adore

:love is all
:that i can give to you
:love is more
:than just a game for two
:two in love can make it
:take my heart
:and please don't break it
:love was made for me and you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:if i caught the world in a bottle
:and everything was still beneath the moon
:without your love would it shine for me?
:if i was smart as aristotle
:and understood the rings around the moon
:what would it all matter if you loved me?

:if i caught the world in an hourglass
:saddled up the moon so we could ride
:until the stars grew dim
:until...

:one day you'll meet a stranger
:and all the noise is silenced in the room
:you'll feel that you're close to some mystery
:in the moonlight and everything shatters
:you feel as if you've known her all your life
:the world's oldest lesson in history

:here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
:with a million dreams to fulfill
:and a matter of moments until the dancing ends
:here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
:not a solitary thing would i fear
:except when this moment comes near the dancing's end
~ until.. sting
