    LOL! I've probably seen it, but I was an Edgar Allen Poe fan longer before the Simpsons showed up. ;)

    Oh yeah......this is more like my type,....read below

    a creeping shadow at the door
    boots cracking crack pipes on the floor
    a man walks in with a covered face
    she tells him to leave her place

    shooting thru her lips -saliva spits
    craving her completely, aching for her kiss
    stabbin her clit, with his fingers so gripped
    she pushes back too late, hes too quick

    crease her existeence with the edge of his teeth
    deavourin her pussy like a raging beast
    plunging into her cunt with a grasping grunt
    she shakes, she quivers, as her ejaculation begin to lunge

    bluntly raising her pelvis, smelling his masculine musk
    the essence of an african brother ready to bust
    eatin her dusty rose colored flesh, mesh his canines
    her clit shrine, sipping her juices like fine wine

    shes in ecstasy , climaxed crying for release
    layin on her back, with him on his kneees
    your fuckin pussy was designed for my penetration
    I came all this way to observe your ejaculation

    lickin and suckin it, and here is my salutation
    she emerges from darkness in ecstasy riding his dick to oblivion
    her eyes obsidian, dark blue with a lit spark as she barks
    with a growl vibrating from the depth of her heart

    Viciously bitng her breasts, he wants nothing left
    fucking her raw, making her crawl
    sprawled on all fours. sweat drippin with semen on the floor
    hes in her pores, as her lover walks thru the door

    116th Sonnet of Shakespeare

    Let me not to the marriage of true minds
    Admit impediments. Love is not love
    Which alters when it alteration finds,
    Or bends with the remover to remove:
    O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
    That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
    It is the star to every wandering bark,
    Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
    Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
    Within his bending sickle's compass come:
    Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
    But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
    If this be error and upon me proved,
    I never writ, nor no man ever loved.


    It's definitely one of my favorites.

    a little jim morrison:

    Science of Night

    Earth Air Fire Water
    Mother Father Sons & Daughters
    Airplane in the starry night
    First fright
    Forest follow free
    I love thee
    watch how I love thee

    more jim...i'll have what he's having

    Where are my dreamers
    Today & tonight
    Where are my dancers
    leaping madly
    whirling & screaming

    Where are my women
    quietly dreaming
    caught like angels
    on the dark porch
    of a velvet ranch
    dance dance dance dance
    dance dance dance

    So, are you are fan of Shakespeare as well? I enjoy everything Shakespeare. I love the spoken prose of the period. I have often thought how nice it would be to participate in a costume affair of the period, where everyone dresses up, dance, eat and speak, all in keeping with the period. I guess that and my love of Romeo and Juliet make a hopeless romantic, lol.

    My Wish


    I wish when I stand from this chair
    that you would be behind me,
    and you would wrap your arms around my body
    one resting on my breast,
    the other sliding down to that most treasured of places.
    We are both clothed but the heat generated by our bodies
    as you kiss my neck smelling the perfume
    I placed there just for you, is so intense
    that I can feel the beads of sweat
    appearing on my forehead.
    I am not sure how long we stand
    gently swaying, our bodies following
    our inner serpents.
    I feel through our movements the beautiful firmness
    below your waist, so enticing.
    I turn and we embrace, and kissing
    so passionately I feel elevated.
    But, what I really want is to taste you,
    to feel the fullness of you in my mouth,
    to feel your softness against my lips, my tongue, my cheek.
    I would drink you if you would let me,
    but a taste is all I am allowed
    for you have better plans.
    You coax me to the softness of the cushions
    and on our knees we undress one another,
    kissing, kissing, and touching everywhere.
    Our smiles are youthful and innocent, yet we are not.
    I pick up your hands and one by one gently
    kiss your finger tips, then your palms.
    So pleased you are that you take me into your arms,
    and whispering everything I love to hear,
    lay me down and pleasure me so,
    drinking every drop not spilling a one.
    Then you kiss my lips, I can taste my love on your mouth,
    it is our love.
    Your movements beg for more and as you climb on top,
    I invite you in
    the gentle rocking blurs our minds and senses
    we have disappeared
    having become one.

    I've always been a Shakespeare fan. I know what you mean; the language was beautiful & poetic. I also love theatre; a Shakespearean themed party does sound like fun because it would be kind of like doing a play. There's nothing wrong with being a hopeless romantic as long as things don't end the way they did for Romeo & Juliet, lol. ;)

    From the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

    Ah Love ! could thou and I with Fate conspire
    To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire,
    Would not we shatter it to bits - and then
    Re-mould it nearer to the Heart's Desire
    ...

    and

    Ah, my Beloved, fill the Cup that clears
    TO-DAY of past Regrets and future Fears:
    To-morrow--Why, To-morrow I may be
    Myself with Yesterday's Sev'n thousand Years.

    ....

    For some we loved, the loveliest and the best
    That from his Vintage rolling Time hath prest,
    Have drunk their Cup a Round or two before,
    And one by one crept silently to rest.

    Olokun


    I love to pass my fingers

    (As tide thro' weeds of the sea

    And wind the tall fern-fronds)

    Thro' the strands of your hair

    Dark as night that screens the naked moon:

    I am jealous and passionate

    Like Jehovah, God of the Jews,

    And I would that you realise

    No greater love had woman

    From man than the one I have for you!

    But what wakeful eyes of man,

    Made of the mud of this earth,

    Can stare at the touch of sleep

    The sable vehicle of dream

    Which indeed is the look of your eyes!

    So drunken, like ancient walls

    We crumble in heaps at your feet;

    And as the good maid of the sea,

    Full of rich bounties for men,

    You lift us all beggars to your breast.

    Ibadan,

    running splash of rust

    and gold-flung and scattered

    among seven hills like broken

    china in the sun.

    It Is Your Mind by David Whalen

    Whatcha’ gonna’ do
    When your mind
    Takes you

    To places… that you
    Don’t want
    To go?

    After all, it is your mind
    You should rule it!
    Wouldn’t you think that was so?

    What do you do when you look
    at your partner, and instead
    See a stranger in bed with you?

    And why does your mind
    Seem to always find
    A reason to make you feel blue?

    What do you do
    When you see your house,
    yet your mind no longer… sees a home?

    What do you do
    When in a room full of people
    Your mind reminds you… you’re all alone?

    What do you do
    When your mind makes you
    Read aloud… words which once, you were smitten

    You put your hands o'er your ears
    To shut out the fears… and the tears
    from the words that your mind’s just written

    Broken Love by Amanda Foley

    I love you
    I love you not
    My heart is broken
    My head is shot
    You're in my thoughts
    You're in my dreams
    These feelings make me
    Want to scream
    I gave my love
    Gave you my all
    You stood there
    And watched me fall
    What you said
    And what you did
    It made me cry
    And then I hid
    In my room
    Head between my knees
    I need an answer
    So tell me please
    Is this real
    Or is this fake
    Please be honest
    So my heart doesn't break.

    If - Rudyard Kipling

    If

    If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
    But make allowance for their doubting too,
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

    If you can dream–and not make dreams your master,
    If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breath a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with kings–nor lose the common touch,
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
    If all men count with you, but none too much,
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And–which is more–you’ll be a Man, my son!

    –Rudyard Kipling

    Raging Storm
    by tigerjen©

    angry rain storm
    furiously drags
    on through
    dead of night

    water drowning
    grass
    flowers
    roots of trees
    so by
    dawn
    life is renewed

    raging storm
    makes me
    dream of you
    awake
    missing your kisses
    velvet caresses
    covering my soul
    in the
    night

    yearning for
    your voice
    whispering
    in my ear
    speaking
    worshipful
    words
    making me
    blush
    swoon
    in your arms

    Make love in the storm?
    by Jayderayn©

    Tell me...

    Would you like to make love in the storm?

    Steaming hot skin cooled by cold rain drops.

    Lovemaking's passion matched by the storm's thunder.

    Water dripping off your hair onto my face.

    Skin glistening, sweat mixed with rain, in the dusky gray light.

    Lightening crashing around us as our passion crescendos to the storm's music.

    So, tell me...
    would you like to make love in the storm?​

    An Old Story By Edwin Arlington Robinson

    Strange that I did not know him then,
    That friend of mine!
    I did not even show him then
    One friendly sign;

    But cursed him for the ways he had
    To make me see
    My envy of the praise he had
    For praising me.

    I would have rid the earth of him
    Once, in my pride!...
    I never knew the worth of him
    Until he died.




    A Penitential Week by Carolyn Wells

    The week had gloomily begun
    For Willie Weeks, a poor man's
    SUN.

    He was beset with bill and dun,
    And he had very little
    MON.

    "This cash," said he, "won't pay my dues,
    I've nothing here but ones and
    TUES."

    A bright thought struck him, and he said:
    "The rich Miss Goldrocks I will
    WED."

    But when he paid his court to her,
    She lisped, but firmly said: "No,
    THUR."

    "Alas," said he, "then I must die!
    Although hereafter I may
    FRI."

    They found his gloves, and coat, and hat;
    The Coroner upon them
    SAT.




    Sometimes by Thomas S. Jones, Jr.

    Across the fields of yesterday
    He sometimes comes to me,
    A little lad just back from play—
    The lad I used to be.

    And yet he smiles so wistfully
    Once he has crept within,
    I wonder if he hopes to see
    The man I might have been.

    Dance Me To The End Of Love

    Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
    Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
    Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love
    Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
    Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
    Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love

    Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
    Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
    We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love

    Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
    Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
    Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
    Dance me to the end of love

    Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
    Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
    Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love
