The Kiss, So Alcoholic and Slow - The Prologue

“Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They exist in each other all along.” – Rumi

IVY

"Kissing you makes me forget where I am
Unaware, Can’t think
Don’t see
I don’t hear
Emotions all wrapped up in the way –"

ROME

"In the way you taste
Your scent
In the feel of your lips when
You think I’m pulling away and
You
Reach for me
And breathe
Gently pressing the tip of your tongue
Against mine and I’m
Blind"

IVY

"Deaf
My thoughts are suspended in
This moment so
Slowly, cosmically immersed in the sanctuary of
You and me"

ROME

"Me and you – this place
Divine, intoxicating, erotic"

IVY and ROME

"Spiritual and pure
Engaging so that when we stop …
Our eyes connect then we’re -
Lost
And in it again"

- andrena r hale

I Love You

Relationships are complicated to say the least; man woman, mother child, father child, friends, brother sister. And it just seems the more spiritually drawn you are, the more complex and easy those relationships are all at the same time. ... Love, so easy to roll off the tongue but probably the toughest state of being to live in when there is so much pushing and pulling to complicate where we all strive to be as we search for the god in ourselves. Even if you don't believe in God you still want, need to be enveloped in that brilliant feeling of being - loved. ... I'm particularly fascinated with the notion of romantic soul mates - spirit mates, kindred spirits - who are somehow already connected in another dimension and are mystically united in this world. Rome and Ivy, two characters who've been living in my head for the past five years, are what they believe to be one another's soul mates. But of course it's easy and intoxicating and fulfilling and complex and painful and empty all at once. You'll meet them. Soon. We'll explore them together and maybe we'll come out on the other side of their experience effected, wiser, and closer to understanding what we're supposed to expect when you look into his eyes or her eyes and say "I love you." ... Until next time.

I'm Finally Blogging .... (BIG Sigh)

Resisted Facebook for like EVER. (PAUSE) I'm gave in. ... Swore I was NEVER going to tweet like the twitts who'd jumped on the bandwagon after Ashton Kutcher nabbed like a million followers in a day. (PAUSE) I too am a twitt as of last month just constantly feeding my undiagnosed A.D.D. like 100 times a day. ... And now after shying away from the blog thing, I am - a blogger. Lord knows what I'll be blogging about. But stay tuned cuz I might actually surprise myself and come up with some entertaining stuff.

Until next time.
