just
colour me love, spring me free, raise my elevation, drown me in bliss, touch my soul ablaze, lay me open, emblazen my heart, scorch me with veins afire, bare my existence, enfold me in essence, fill me drunk with hunger, pound my senses, heighten my breath, just lead me home. _________________ "You'll never be able to dance unless you hear your own music .......... the words on your lips must reflect the truth of your heart.

[....... or maybe others don't ask enough .......]
but of course! love is the eternal turning of the wheel - I've got to feel it in all its muses - passion, tenderness, exhilaration, gentleness, giving, taking, caring, hunger, sated, powerful, powerlessness, ++++. and when I fall in love I can feel passion that is wordless, it is experiential - and these words try to bring some of those feelings into words. I don't ask for less, and I don't give less - in other words, I don't understand love to be other than such.
but this is not a 'definitive' list - I could add much to this list, I could remove some from this list - this was purely a moment's outrush of words, not a thought-out definition, there was no thought in it but rather feelings. this was a single moment in time captured, I'd probably say something different before and after that moment. and I cannot be defined by a moment, life is organic and constantly growing - not that I am not all those things, but I may be more than those things, and sometimes even less.
there are so many expressions of love, be it the agony or the ecstasy side of the scale – but one that expresses my feeling above is Rabindranath Tagore's (Deepak Chopra version) 'This is true':
“This is true my love
that the lightening flash in the light of your eyes
makes the clouds in my heart explode
and blaze
this is true my love
that your sweet lips are red as a blushing bride
this is true my love
that the tree of paradise flowers within you
that your footsteps speak to the rhythm of my soul
that the night sheds drops of dew at your sight
that the morning surrounds you with light from delight
that the touch of your hot breath
intoxicates my soul
this is true my love
that daylight hides in the dark of your hair
that your voice makes the world fall silent to hear your song
that the universe is nothing but your lovemaking
this is true my love”
Hell yeah... what is passion without these things? Good write.
Dance~
