the answer



Because She Would Ask Me Why I Loved Her

If questioning would make us wise
No eyes would ever gaze in eyes;
If all our tale were told in speech
No mouths would wander each to each.

Were spirits free from mortal mesh
And love not bound in hearts of flesh
No aching breasts would yearn to meet
And find their ecstasy complete.

For who is there that lives and knows
The secret powers by which he grows?
Were knowledge all, what were our need
To thrill and faint and sweetly bleed?

Then seek not, sweet, the "If" and "Why"
I love you now until I die.
For I must love because I live
And life in me is what you give.


~Christopher Brennan (1870-1932)

Good Morning, good Morning!! What a wonderful picture of theose two ladies against the IChing. It looks like were both doing it now - putting naked women allover our blogs that is. I have just spent some considerable time and ingenuity doing the same to mine and am very pleased with it! Liked the little story too.......Labia and Lips are the same words, arent they and there is something about the taste of a female......I am sure you know what I mean! XVickyX

Makes the warm fuzzy feeling ripple from ears to toes. And YES I concur with Vicky on the pictures..

oooh you don't have to apologise to me for not looking in on the Space straight away. I know you will when the time is right for you & that is all that matters....I'm pleased you like my Blogger space too. I must say, I am putting much more thought and effort into it than ever I did the msn one. It has its shortcomings, as they all do and no doubt boundaries too. I have yet to discover exactly where those are......! xXVickyXx

You flatter me Sir! No, unfortunately the nude is not me.(I once looked similar except more pear shaped, more hips, less bust, and 40 years ago!) The picture is called, I think 'Bay of Fundy nude' and came off a site of artistic pictures some time ago. I have to say I find it so appealing it almost makes me go dizzy sometimes. Both model and photographer got it right, don't you think. You cannot but say it is art in its finest of forms! Simply putting it there has inspired me somewhat, though it remains to be seen what will become of that inspiration! So, wild Geese landing on a pond? These will be canada geese I suppose? XVickyX
