 Rain Soaked Gardenias by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “The course of true love never did run smooth.” ~ William Shakespeare A Moment In a moment, time emerges eternal A whisper in springtime delight Seconds later, it turns into yesterday Detained in memory adrift in flight Souls converge in a constructed recess As seconds pass, it is still now, no less Hypnotized in caresses’ manifestation We become lost to needless hesitation As we land standing; bodies veiled in the sea An inquiry to the heart arrives; Are you part me?

Introduction: "The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web." ~ Pablo Picasso Photograph by Lionel Brown, Getty Images Titled ~Lightning Over Las Cruces Thunderstruck Thunderstruck; it’s my impression, feelings exposed yet unprotected, with a fog of confusion amid dreamy illusion, a magical yet fascinating intrusion. And we dance… to music beating between stars and time, in the light of a moon where waves collide, and if I were to die tomorrow and you today, we’ll dance these moments in our clubfoot sway. Even though we waited... a thousand years; to find together only a few more, it’s your heart releasing a timid soul; letting love soar, gaining strength, in moments, from an ill gotten sword, and we dance to torn hearts; unlocking that steel door.

Peace and Love Always, Diana  Introduction: “But the you who you are tonight is the same you I was in love with yesterday, the same you I’ll be in love with tomorrow.” ~ Gayle Forman, If I Stay Photography by Diana Mary Sharpton Each time I had a baby, I knew I was in love. I could not be away from the child for more than five minute without feeling separation anxiety. At work, I would count the minutes of each workday, running home to see said precious child; to hold them in my arms, love them, feed them, and be completely consumed by their everything. I was “In Love” maternally but still “In Love”. As time went by that intense, feeling of being “In Love” dissipated and emerged into a strong feeling of “Unconditional Love” for each child. Dictionary.reference.com defines “In Love” as “a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person; a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend; a person toward who love is felt; beloved person; sweetheart”. UrbanDictionary.com defines it as “To care about someone so much that your happiness doesn't matter anymore - just theirs. There is nothing you will not do for them; you just want them to be happy. They fill you with wonder; you are completely amazed by them. Moreover, when you are in love with someone, you will even let him or her be with someone else if they can be happier without you. It is a feeling that runs so deep it conquers everything. You are not afraid of anything. All you want is they, and their happiness. They are your number one priority, over yourself and everything you know. They are your world. In addition, you can only wish to be theirs.” There is a huge difference between being “In Love” and “Loving” someone. I personally believe that you can be “In Love” and over time, this develops into unconditional love. That said on the opposite side of the coin you could be “In Lust” thinking it was the “In Love” emotion; however when the smoke cleared the room you were nine times out ten faced with bad choices. Looking back on my past marriages (three Yikes), I would honestly say that I never was “In Love”. I can say I was “In Lust” and was “In Love” with the idea being in love; over time, I developed love for the relationship. Do not get me wrong, I did try and I had feelings, but all these relationships failed in one way or another, wrong choice, wrong type, wrong time and in most cases, I tragically ended up walking away or asking them to leave. Now this story does not end just yet and it is not to say that I have not been “In Love” and yes, I have fallen in love. It or let us speak correctly you literally knocked my socks off. I will not get in to the personal details but I can say that I have unconditional love for you as well. I know that I cannot help what I feel, change it or wish it to disappear and it is all consuming. I want the best for you without an agenda or selfish modivations and this is a fact. My love for you is from the tenderness in my heart, the whispers from my soul, they are there seeking your hand to hold, your lips to kiss and your body to love. I would do anything to make you happy... Believe that! The whole point about this piece is over my disagreement with the statement that only “In Love” is forever where “Love” is only for a while. Without “Love” “In Love” is merely sex. So, the poster saying that “the difference between like, love and being in love is the same difference as for now, for a while and forever”, is not completely accurate. It is my opinion, you can love someone unconditionally, deeply for a lifetime; alternatively, you can be “In Love or Lust” for a short period because it was not really love it is the idea or sexual chemistry/attraction. Now this is not to say that those who are afraid of emotional attachment and/or the risks in loving someone are not hung up on the idea that they were in love at one time because that was when they allowed themselves to feel. This is a perfect example that love is a decision and frankly without it "In Love" is not true love. Erich Fromm said it best “Love is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision?” True love is unconditional and yes, I would argue that you are “In Love or In Lust” in all three cases (Like, Love and In Love), the difference however with “Love” and being “In Love” at the same time is that you have made a decision to love irrespective to surrounding influences, lifestyle or situation. An Interesting article which I highly recommend by http://elitedaily.com/dating/10-difference-love-someone-loving-someone/795160/,compares the “In Love” with “Love” emotions and conditions. At the end of the day, we all want to be loved by the person with whom we are in love. “When you love someone, you can’t stop loving that person because it would require you to stop loving a part of you yourself.”  Introduction: “Love arrives and in its train come ecstasies old memories of pleasure ancient histories of pain. Yet if we are bold, love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls” ~ Maya Angelou Touched by an Angel Photography by Diana Mary Sharpton Candles Candles lite, a breath seduces wine, in an atmosphere contrived, which arises the saccharine divine. Smiling eyes, no words uttered. Fervor envelops a gentle tally, inane dialogue sentient; as bodies rally. Music plays, thick sensual sounds, easing awkward coyness, in ticks hastening thoracic slowness. Fingers, find skin, and heat interlocks. Is it all prematurely sought? I think not! Lips adroitly placed, inquisitively wet to taste, tenderly, as there is no time to waste.

Introduction: “That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending - performing. You get to love your pretence. It's true, we're locked in an image, an act - and the sad thing is, people get so used to their image, they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains. They forget all about who they really are. And if you try to remind them, they hate you for it, they feel like you're trying to steal their most precious possession.” ~ Jim Morrison The Color Blue New beginnings are a deep cobalt blue Nothing exists except the amity for you I can neither ignore it Nor destroy it Or even sleep through it As you are acutely intertwined within it Irrespective on how they may feel about it In rhapsody with a calm divine, cool To souls that conjoin seam and spool It is blue… This color of love I have for you Diana Mary Sharpton © 2015 all rights reserved  Introduction: “I could not tell you if I loved you the first moment I saw you, or if it was the second or third or fourth. But I remember the first moment I looked at you walking toward me and realized that somehow the rest of the world seemed to vanish when I was with you.” ~ Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince Photography by Diana Mary Sharpton At Last They meet… At last, on a warm spring day, as she steps off a midnight train, running with a two hour delay. Oh yes, there were those… Shy smiles, and the customary fondle that beguiles. Not to mention: Silly chatter in endless flare, which immediately disappears into thin air. One could see… Emotions riding high yet slightly controlled, He touches: fingers to skin, lips to kiss; as passion unfolds, and then he steps to the street hailing a yellow cab, as they drive off to the resort; a lavish seaside pad. Then the sun sets, while ebbs roar... As he corners her by the bathroom door, a slow dance in seduction commences, aroused and stiff, he presses; she winces, it’s difficult to breathe, she keeps thinking. As twilight begins to rule… He holds arms firmly against the wall, desire so heighten, it’s hard to forestall, and they land on the bed, committed to shared brutality of it all. Diana Mary Sharpton © 2015 all rights reserved My song tonight is featuring actress and singer Etta James and the song is At Last. I do love this deeply sentimental music and it's message. I picked it especially because it seems like an excellent compliment to my Poem listed above and titled "At Last".

Today was difficult. Keep it simple and keep it real… Again, thank you for your love and support… It is always appreciated.

 Introduction: “In the extremes of chaos, I found balance through your control” ~ Diana Mary Sharpton © 2015 all rights reserved Chaos A steel ball; that is she Sliding across a stone counter In between friction In layers of a viscous fluid Five feet above ground And there’s sound; a train rushing Detached Void of emotion A projectile; eyeless Slowly gaining speed Without hands to stop motion Rolling to the edge of existence Gradually wobbling over Dropping… To hear her screaming Stop! Slamming against concrete Bouncing, one two three times To rotate vicariously Until hitting a shoe Out of breath She looks up, calmly And… it is you Diana Mary Sharpton © 2015 all rights reserved & Photography by Nicole H.

I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” Categories
