E. Vary: Juliana

The light of love, the purity of grace...




“The light of love, the purity of grace,
The mind, the Music breathing from her face, 
The heart whose softness harmonised the whole —
And, oh! that eye was in itself a Soul!” 
― George Gordon Byron

"When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness..."




When you fall in love, 
it is a temporary madness. 
It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. 
And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. 
You have to work out whether your roots are to become so entwined together 
that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. 
Because this is what love is. 
Love is not breathlessness, 
it is not excitement, 
it is not the desire to mate every second of the day. 
It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. 
No ... don't blush. 
I am telling you some truths. 
For that is just being in love; 
which any of us can convince ourselves we are. 
Love itself is what is left over, 
when being in love has burned away. 
Doesn't sound very exciting, does it? 
But it is!
-Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernières

Fifty5 Thursday: BlackRose

Who do you want to be?  Someone to remember or someone easy to forget...


You could say that life just happens and it's the way it goes, 
you either accept it or you fight it...
Or
You can be one of the few that rises above this perception 
and fights in all their glory to create the life they want, 
regardless of the struggle.
Who do you want to be?
 Someone to remember or someone easy to forget...
― Nikki Rowe

The World Is My Runway...


You're The One That I Want
~ Lo-Fang ~


The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, 
the figure that she carries, 
or the way she combs her hair. 
The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, 
because that is the doorway to her heart, 
the place where love resides. 
True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. 
It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, 
the passion that she shows 
and the beauty of a woman only grows 
with passing years.
– Audrey Hepburn

And I don't know how we
Fall into these holes."

Secret Wednesday: Legendaire

And you sir, you're very attractive, therefore, I will stare at you.




There goes my heart again
All of this time I thought we were pretending
Nothing looks the same when your eyes are open
Now you're playing these games to keep my heartbeat spinning
You show me love, you show me love
You show me everything my heart is capable of
You reshape me like butterfly origami-yeah,

You have broken into my heart
This time I feel the blues have departed
Nothing can keep me away from this feeling
I know I am simply falling for you.

I'm taking time to envision where your heart is
And justify why you're gone for the moment
I tumble sometimes, looking for sunshine
And you know this is right when you look into my eyes
You show me love, you show me love
You show me everything my heart is capable of
And now I can't break away from this fire that we started.

You have broken into my heart
This time I feel the blues have departed
Nothing can keep me away from this feeling
I know I am simply falling for you,

There my heart goes again
In your arms I'm falling deeper
And there's nothing to break me away from this.

You have broken into my heart
This time I feel the blues have departed
Nothing can keep me away from this feeling
I know I am simply falling,You have broken into my heart
This time I feel the blues have departed
Nothing can keep me away from this feeling
I know I am simply falling for you,

There my heart goes again,
You have broken into my heart
oh I'm falling deeper, I'm falling deeper.

irrISIStible: Queen Of Hearts

"Never mind all that! Get to the part where I lose my temper."
-Queen of Hearts * Alice in Wonderland





"OFF WITH HIS HEART!"
shouted the Red Queen that night
when she found her lover
in another woman's arms.
She stomped her feet,
she threw a fist
and kicked him in the nuts.

Boudoir: Winter Spirit

Is just to remember that once, once I was loved...




I don't remember
When I was young
I don't recall the day when I first saw the sun
But what I am certain
What is enough
Is just to remember that once, once I was loved

I still surrender
To troubles unknown
No use pretending all the troubles ain't my own
But what I am certain
What is enough
Is just to remember that once, once I was loved

After the years gone by
What amounts to the years in a life
What have we come to
When we reach our final days?
If we can surrender, then that is enough

Just to remember that once, once we were loved
Once we were beautiful, once we were loved.
-song lyrics

The Seasons Story: Belle Epoque

I believe this is heaven to no one else but me.




I love the time and in between
the calm inside me
in the space where I can breathe
I believe there is a
distance I have wandered
to touch upon the years of
reaching out and reaching in
holding out holding in
I believe
this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as I can be
left here to linger in silence
if I choose to
would you try to understand
I know this love is passing time
passing through like liquid
I am drunk in my desire...
but I love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near...
I believe...
I believe
this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
if I choose to
would you try to understand
Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
the mold that clings like desperation
Mother can't you see I've got
to live my life the way I feel is right for me
might not be right for you but it's right for me...
I believe...
I believe
this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
if I choose to
would you try to understand it
I would like to linger here in silence
if I choose to
would you understand it
would you try to understand...

InsomNia: Soft Cashmere

You make me want to feel, things I've never felt before...





He taught me how to love myself.
He taught me how to love myself when he looked at me 
as if I was the universe and everything else was simply stars and planets. 
He taught me how to love myself when he traced his fingers over the parts of me 
that I am most insecure about, and his touch would still remain. 
He taught me how to love myself when he kissed me so much 
that the taste of his lips was the only thing I could remember. 
He taught me how to love myself over and over again until I believed it was true. 
The words would slip from his lips so effortlessly that I had to believe them, 
because they came from him.

Cosmopolitan Event: Entice

will my heart be broken when the night meets the morning sun...




Tonight you're mine, completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you still love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic in your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun

I'd like to know that your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?"

Turning Into Dust




I feel the minutes almost in a still
slowly
slowly
passing by
mercifully
deceiving
my suspecting heart.
You are fading
and so am I
quietly we start fading
