Embraces Under Alien Suns?


Should we be the only ones who express deep love physically?

Two lovers


Lovers caught through the eyes of a amateur photographer.The man is holding the woman"s waist and gazing longingly into her eyes as they melt into the limitless area where all things exist.

O.o


hmmmmmm, i would have to say that this looks to me like one of these people fell into a vat of liquid sponge and one is absorbing the other. either that or one of them is a ghost and is getting ectoplasm all over the other.

What a fun game! I remember one of my favorite teachers used to do this with us. She'd cut pictures from magazines, glue them to a piece of paper, and give each of us a few minutes to write a story about it.

This picture makes me think of a couple saying goodbye to each other.

needing someone


Is this wrong? I have someone at home.
This is wrong. I shouldn’t be doing this.
He will find out and leave me. I should stop.
I don’t care. I hate him.
He could change. I must give him a chance.
He’ll never change. He thinks only of himself.
I don’t want to hurt his feelings.
He hurts me every day with cruel words.
I want to stop, but…
…his hands, his lips. I haven’t been touched in so long.

My vision...


His body's heat surrounds me, taunting me
I feel his fingers slowly trace the smooth curve of my waist
He looks through my deep, wanting, mesmerizing blue eyes
He can read my thoughts, my soul, my desires
I touch his strong yet comforting face with my hands
Slowly, taking in all his emotions through my touch
I run my hands down his face, his neck, and rest on his broad shoulders
We are connected by a mystical force
As if our bodies knew we were soul mates
Drawn into each other, desiring desperately to be touched, caressed
Our lips are magnetically pulled together
The first kiss
So soft, so gentle, yet fully charged
He pulls away slowly, making me wait, making me desire
My body begins to quiver with anticipation
I am ready, I am...
I open my eyes, we are there together, just as I imagined
My vision begins to clear
I am alone
For a moment forgetting reality
The reality that he is gone
Gone to secure our freedom
Gone to protect me, our country, our way of life
For now, this vision is all I have...and that is all I need...
My vision of love

I look at him and I see my...


I look at him and I see my future,
My life before this moment has gone forever.
His eyes were searching me, wandering if this moment can last forever.
Some how people can get caught up with the little things and never see the whole.
"you're so beautiful, that its unbelievable I am with you!" he ushered.
My heart fluttered at his words.
We stood on the roof, looking down at the world.
In this moment we were on top of the world.
But i knew it had to end, just a while longer...just a few more minutes.
he pulled away from our embrace.
I could see tears in his eyes.
"I have to go, they say I'll be back by christmas. So its only a few months away. It'll be as if I never left" he tried to smile beyond the tears. "Look after our baby...ok?" his hand pressed against my stomach, his touch set my skin on fire. I didn't want him to go to war.
I wanted to be selfish and keep him here.
Where it is safe.
Where his family is.
But no...he has to go.
He walked away from me, his eyes never leaving mine until the last possible moment.

I woke up sweating and crying.
The same dream.
The same man.
My heart longed for that man.
I realised that the baby had woken me up.
I got up and soothed his baby, wishing that my husband wasn't dead.
Wishing he was here to help me through this.
"It's going to be ok," i ushered to the baby.


But was it?

Don't go...


I could tell you I love you a thousand times more
I could sing it or swing to it, dance and or draw
But still you would not believe me
I can't blame you now can I? Can't fault or fine you.

Yet still I will not free you or leave you
What I will do is hold you, like I used to
See you as I know you
Love you like I miss you
AND
Kiss you like I will never forget us again!

what you see it's not what it seems to be


well it's a good embrace of two people that are not supposed to be together after a wonderful night full of love in the air.

I think the couple are like Romeo and Juliet. Forbidden to love each other, die to be with each other. it's really sweet.
