Lover, you
With your hands
And with your truth;
With your hands,
And with your man,
With your heat,
And with your hands
Drive me wild
And I have no right
To refuse such lovely vibes.

I'm feeling romantic

In his kiss, I found new things,
Unexpected little things:
I found a new way to live
In his space and with his sins.
I gave up several pasts
And likely futures that I
Don't need at all anymore.
In his kiss, I made my home.

Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished.
-- Goethe

Oh, but the thrill and the splendour,
The sudden new knowledge—I can!
To fawn on no hireling defender,
But fight one's own fight as a man!
On woman's love won we set store;
To win one's own manhood is more.

— George Herbert Clarke
