Who do you love; why? (1st V-Day Thread)

[ChiefScott]

Who do you love? Let us count the ways!

Girlbysea came into my life,
Cooled me out ended my strife.
Our sweet lovemaking is only outdone,
By walking her beach under the sun.

She can't cook, but boy can she clean,
And, strange as it seems, thinks I am keen.
Footrubs and back rubs, silver chains a delight,
Watching my re-runs night after night.

Cooking sans fat, I always take care.
Compliments a plenty on her short blondish hair.
My chauffeur in mornings, my masseuse at night,
I can't beat the chick who thinks that I'm "tight!"

Those long good-bye kisses as I head to sea,
Get me through the long nights admirably.
No gift I'd love more if it fell from above,
'Cept my sweet, sweet GBS and all of her love.

[Ringo]

I love her,
She loves him,
He loves somebody else, now,
You just can't win...

I've had the reds, the blues and the pinks,
What else can you say now?

HAPPY VALENTINES to those in the appropriate position!

And to the rest of us...

Well,

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

[Drain Bead]

In a fashion somewhat atypical of an English major, I'm going to admit that my words fall woefully short, and will brutally plagiarize someone else in order to get my point across.

Y'all know who this one's for.

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Wahhh...

God damn I miss her.

Actually, I'm doing surprisingly well, but I miss her.

[PurpleCrackwhore]

To the keeper of my heart;

Just

Just when I thought you most elusive,
Like sweet kismet
you appeared randomly
seeking entrance to my heart.

Just when darkness enveloped my spirit,
like shafts of brilliant sunlight
your smile illuminated
my lonely, shadowed existence.

Just when I resigned to abandon love,
your warmth and tenderness
melted the frozen ice cap
that surrounded my soul.

Just when I thought to never trust again,
like the unrestrained butterfly,
your love gave me wings
to rise above all doubt,

and soar to heights
I have never known.

[Demo]

A new turn on an old subject. Just thought I'd let you in on my darker side. The angel this is for knows who she is...

Sinister Kisses

Sinister kisses, I give You,
When You're least expecting them,
And I know You've been lonely.

Calculated whispers, I place in Your ear,
Time and time again they work.
A little magic trick I learned.

My clandestine plan falls into place.
What I do is not deceptive,
But only meant to secure this treasure.

Stealthy notes, deposited 'round You,
When You have time to doubt Your love.
I leave nothing to chance.

With a premeditated back massage,
I exploit Your untended heart,
And hold Your faith in my hands.

This secret design that I've come up with,
Acts as my arms to wrap around You,
And keep You close to me.

My devious scheme is only to have You.
It may seem corrupt,
But this is how my mind works.

[Girlbysea]

Girlbysea walks by the shore.
She has her ocean, and much, much more.

She would walk in the sun, day after day,
just hoping to find him... someday.

It happened on one summer day.
His ship had sailed, into the bay.

Their eyes met, and she knew right away,
that he was special, in a different way.

Off to the ocean side, she took this man,
to show him her world, hand in hand.

One night by the ocean,they fell in love.
Their hearts united by the stars above.

His love has meant the world to me.
I wait for him to return from sea.

He has my heart out there somewhere,
and I have his, and will handle it with care.

I walk by the sea, waiting in the sand.
My arms will be empty, until he takes my hand.

I love you ChiefScott, and you'll always know. Your GBS, will let it show...

You know that poem that Drain printed above? The one about carrying your heart?

Well, I carry it with me always. A copy she printed for me is in my wallet. The edges are ripped, and it was ripped on the edges of her sink when I was there.

So I carry the heart-carrying poem always. Better, every day, I read it. Better yet, every day, I live it.

I'll take Drain and GBS any day; of course, I won't get the chance;... anyway, thanks for your contributions.

The sky is heavy
and the road is wet
it glistens in the night
like a lit cigarette,
I got a dollar in my pocket
how much you want to bet
that you ain't thinkin' 'bout me.

There were good times
and bad times
and something in between,
and for awhile you were the best thing
that I'd ever seen
then one day, don't know why, you up and turned mean,
and you ain't thinkin' 'bout me.

I wish I had a headache
I wish I had the flu
or somebody or something else,
or something else to do,
because the last thing I want
is to be thinkin' 'bout you
when you ain't thinkin' bout me
no you ain't thinkin' 'bout me
anymore

[WallyM7]

I think I'm going to be sick.

Sorry, the Cliche Clique is not accepting new members at this time,

Deborah was a Catholic girl
She held out to the bitter end
Karla was a different type
She's the one who put it in
Mary was a black girl
And I was afraid of a girl like that
Susan painted pictured
Sitting down like the Buddha sat

Rena was an aimless girl
A geographic memory
Kathy was a Jesus freak
She liked that kind of misery
Vicki had that special way
Of turning sex into a song
Carmela, who couldn't sing
Kept the beat, kept it strong

Zilla was an archetype
The voodoo queen, the queen of wrath
Joan thought men were second best
At masterbating in the bath
Sheri was a feminist
She really had that gift of gab
Kathleen's point of view was this:
Take whatever you can grab

Seattle was another girl
Who left her mark upon the map
Karen liked to tie me up
And left me hanging by a strap
Jeanie had this night-club walk
That made grown men feel underage
Maryella, who had a son
Said I must go, but finally stayed

Mina, the last taboo
Was shattered by her tongue one night
Mimi brought the taboo back
Held it up before the light
Marylin, who knew no shame
Was never, ever satisfied
Julie came and went so fast
She didn't even say goodbye

Rhonda had a house in Venice
Lived on brown rice and cocaine
Patty had a house in Huston
Shot cough syrup in her veins
Linda thought her life was empty
Filled it up with alcohol
Kathryn was much too pretty
She didn't do that shit at all

Uh uh. Not Kathryn

Pauline thought that love was simple
Turn it on and turn it off
Jean-Marie was complicated
Like some French film-maker's plot
Gina was a perfect lady
Always kept her stockings straight
Jackie was a rich punk rocker
Silver spoon and a paper plate

Sarah was a modern dancer
Lean pristene transparency
Janet wrote bad poetry
With a crazt kind of urgency
Tonya, Turkish liked to fuck
While wearing leather biker boots
Brenda's strange obsession was
Her certain vegetables and fruit

Roweena was an artist's daughter
The deeper image shook her up
Didi's mother left her father
Took his money and his truck
Debbie Rey had no such problems
Perfect Norman Rockwell home
Dina, 16, had a baby
Left her parents, lived alone
Bobbie joined a new wave band
Changed her name to Bobby Socks
Eloise, who played guitar
Sang songs about whales and cocks
Terry didn't give a shit
Was just a nihilist
Ronnie was much more my style cause
She wrote song just like this
Jezebel went 40 days
Drinking nothing but Pierre
Dinah drove her Chevrolet
Into the San Fransisco Bay
Judy came from Ohio
She's a Scientologist
Amarante, here's a kiss
I chose you to end this list

[fuzzy-wuzzy]

you guys are a trip....lol. Wish I could fall in love as fast as some of you do. Or with the type of people that you do. Maybe one day. At any rate...not talking about the same kind of love...but the friendship kind...CanadianSue is about the best buddy a person can have. Her phone line is never busy and she never tells you what an idiot you are...even though you already know. So my love in friendship would be my buddy...CanadianSue. She is the kind of friend that is true to the end...and I've literally seen people that were supposed to be her "friends" cut her literally to her soul and yet although they will never be close to her again, she still allows them a small part of her life because that's just the kind of person she is. Toast to you Sue.

I love me, I love me,
I'm wild about myself!
I love me, I love me—
My picture's on my shelf!
You may not think I look so good—
But me thinks I'm just fine;
It's grand when I look in my eyes
And know that I'm all mine!

I love me, I love me,
And my love doesn't bore—
Day by day in every way
I love me more and more!
I take me to a quiet place,
I put my arm around my waist—
If me gets fresh, I slaps my face—
I'm wild about myself!

[special]

oh, fuzzy, that was so sweet!

& damn, vince, that was sexy!

[psycat90]

Yes, Vince, that was very, very sexy. ;)

[Prose]

it is hard for me to articulate something that is not painful during this time which is supposed to be so happy, with people gushing and lovely to one another. Valentine's is not my favourite day, though I've often wished otherwise.

but for all those who have come into my life, for them during this time:

I wanted to change your world, universe, life
Instead of merely hesitantly touching it
With shy glances and roaming hands.

------------------
I am a fire whose flames lick and spit at the boundless sky forever desiring wonderous consummation
-me

[okatym]

Sing to me.
Touch me before only
Nothing hears your words.

Light me
with the match we made.

Climb me to my peak and
we’ll fold away together in the bottom bureau drawer.

Christen me
With the bottle that holds your love.

Grab me.
Hit me with the words you threw away.

Take me.

Hold me back before I
reach the peak without you.

Fold me in half and pack me
in the ice inside of you.

Slip your love around my neck and hang
on before the nothing does.

Do something.

[fuzzy-wuzzy]

lol...I'm not sure what you mean by "coming out of the closet" my friend....I'm not gay or anything....but I am proud to have you as a friend...and I do protect my privacy and always will...big hug

I love myself
I want you to love me
When I'm feeling down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me....

In proper tortured artist fashion, the girl I love is lost to me, and by my own hand. I met her while I was in Seattle, and we dated the whole time I lived there. I pretty well killed any chance with her by my insistance that no one could possibly care about me and my inability to express my feelings for her. We broke up when I moved back to Portland and we haven't talked since. As I've slowly been growing out of my last pity me phase, I'm realizing more and more that we were in love, and I totally blew it. The more I think about it, the more I realize how retarded I was for her, but she's now dating a computer programmer with a big truck, and she seems to happy to have a chance to win her back.

The good thing about all this is that this will be only the second time in seven years that I haven't been dumped in February. Both times were due to lack of dumpee, however.

Okay, I'm going to try a happy one now. Who do I love?

I love my friend Dave, who I've known since 7th grade. Despite numerous stolen women, anime disagreements, and his inability to eat anything not fried or covered in sugar, we've stayed friends throughout, and we share a common mind most of the time. Though, he's been interrupting me a lot recently, so I'm probably going to have to kill him.

I love my parents, despite the fact that they've totally deprived me of any chance of normality by staying married all these years, and maintaining a loving and caring enviornment.

I love my friend Denise, who still loves me even after years of watching me self destruct and crawl back to normalcy. Anyone who cares enough to pick you out of a pool of puke and pills and throw you in the shower till they are sure you're alright deserves a special place in your heart. And she knows I'd do the same for her if the roles were reversed.

I love everyone really, and am saddened when people can't learn to look beyond themselves and feel for others. We're all worth courtesy and compassion, I wish everyone would show it.

Tonight was Junior Prom at my high school. One of my best friends and I made plans to go together, and I had been looking forward to tonight for months. Then he and I got into a huge fight and called the whole thing off. Due to the fact that all my friends have dates and I'd end up being a third wheel, or alone, I passed the event up.

I started wallowing last night, with a big bowl of ice cream and "It's Raining On Prom Night" playing over and over in the background, only imagining how much tonight was going to suck.

Instead, I spent today and tonight with my boyfriend and his best friend. They took me to the park and humored my pleas to push me on the tire swing. We then watched chick flicks, played board games, and talked. Later, after his friend left, my boyfriend dug out his stuffed dinosaur for me to snuggle with tonight, and held me for an hour while I talked and cried about everything that has been happening lately.

Then he pulled out a CD with my favorite slow song of all time, and hit the repeat button. The Boy Who Will Not Dance danced with me over and over, in the middle of his living room at 1 AM, to try and make me feel a little less left out.

It's not love, but he sure means an awful lot to me. I don't quite know how I'd get on without him sometimes.
