we do not need words
we do not need a shared
written language
we have eyes that truly see
lips that speak a common tongue
a shared palate for the aroma
the taste
of the salt that glitters
on each other’s skin
when we flow like silk
against each other
and boundaries dissolve
like sea foam
at dawn

Very beautifully written, and it is truly, very hard, to find a love described, because love is usually, hit or miss, and you don’t get a second chance…

I find that an important component of a successful long-term relationship is being open to feeling that with each other and remembering that intimacy. It will never again be like the first two years of the relationship when it is all hormones and romance, not laundry and grocery shopping, but creating those moments when that can happen has to be a mutual commitment.

You’ve caught the place where “I love you” doesn’t say as much as the touch of even a single finger.

Thank you Eugenia! I have been joking recently that I have “restless blog syndrome!” I have redecorated several times in the last few months but am kind of digging this.

I am always redecorating my blogs. It gives me a chance to be creative. I feel if the appearance of a blog is appealing, it will draw more readers. I love darker backgrounds because it’s much easier on my eyes.
