Paradise Of Fools you only want the touch of skin I need more than where hands have been touch without love is just a trace another emptiness in it’s disgrace you live like a king in a paradise of fools yet in your vault there are no jewels you have no love to call your own so you sit alone on a melting throne "I have already paid for all my future sins." Sade...(King of Sorrow) |

its a shame, but so many people are like this.. I, being the wholesome virgin that i still am, am still lookin. it sucks when you get attached to somebody who wants only physical attention, as if love and understanding mean nothing to them. a throne of ice indeed |

WOW!!! Powerful words....But so very true.. what is the worth of sensual delights when there is no love given...then each goes away feeling an emptiness inside....I feel sorry for anyone who only wants the physical without the emotional...I guess that is what keeps me alone. I want both or nothing...Very well said. BRAVO!!!!  **big hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
