Love Inspiration

Here

are some good tips for Valentine's day.

You can find several ideas about love, but I must say that my favourite one is "Around the world" article, it's kind of something that I do too, but my "Around the world" is mainly Portugal :)

"This week's date night idea takes you and your partner on a romantic escape to virtually any destination in the world, even locations that only exist in your imagination. LYC readers have given their ideas for their favorite romantic destination adventures at home, including all the extra details to make it a night neither of you will soon forget. When you're ready for an intimate night for two, grab your virtual ticket ... "

And you can also find some movie quotes :

"I would rather have tasted her lips just once, touched her skin, one time, and made love to her for one night, than spend the rest of my life without ever knowing that."

From the movie "City of Angels"

Enjoy :)

Amar Perdidamente

To love!


I want to love, love desperately!
Love just for love: here ... there ...
Plus this and that, the other and everyone
Love! Love! And do not love anyone!


Remember? Forget? Indifferent ...
Arrest or loosen? Is wrong is right?
Who says you can love someone
During the entire life is because is lying!

There is a spring in every life:
We must sing it in bloom
If God gave us voice, it was to sing!


And if one day I will be dust, ash and nothing
That my night should be a dawn,
That will know how to loose me ... in order to find me ...

Written by Florbela Espanca, portuguese poet

Love ... Amor

Valentine is almost here ...

In several languages ...

London by night

One of my best friends is travelling this weekend to London. Go Li!

I am posting some pictures of the city, so she could be inspired ...

After a While

After a while you learn
The subtle difference between
Holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
And company doesn't always mean security.



And you begin to learn
That kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes ahead
With the grace of a woman
Not the grief of a child

And you learn

To build all your roads on today

Because tomorrow's ground is

Too uncertain for plans

And futures have a way

Of falling down in mid flight

After a while you learn

That even sunshine burns if you get too much

So you plant your own garden

And decorate your own soul

Instead of waiting

For someone to bring you flowers

And you learn

That you really can endure

That you are really strong

And you really do have worth

And you learn and you learn

With every good bye you learn.

Timeless Love

Love
Is born
Grows, envolves
Changes
Ebbs and flows like a river.
Complicated,
Simple as breathing
New, gleaming
Laughter, ripples
Shines, shimmers life's waters
Tears sparkle
Joy
Heartache,
Babies ...
No instruction manual!
Unconditional
Shock and wonder
Misunderstood
Sharp words, smoothed over
Forgiven, not forgotten
Effort, always
Growing, necessary
Calm, supportive, blue
Anger, swift, red
Lingering, Fleeting
Days, Years
Comfortable
... or not.
Doubt
Trust
Comunication
Silence
Pain and sorrow
Solace
Constant
Quiet
Plaintive look
Stolen look
Recognition
Hearts beating
Leaving
Grief unberable
Unspoken, Accepted
Peaceful
How it plays out
Gloom or glee
Is all up to you ... and me
No right
No wrong
Days become years
And years pass as days
Goodbye
Yearning
until we meet again
...
Timeless Love
