I offer up a glass of wine to you...
First for the quick taste it inspires, then for the easy way it plays in my mouth, how it easily slides down, and finally to the nerve endings awaken after just a few sips
Yes, I offer up this glass of wine to you, for those memories that are slowly dissolving in the past and more often than not are inviting me to forget all those levels we climbed, and results of previous glasses shared.
I drink this glass of wine, over here, without so much as a sideways glance you,
and notice not how ours eyes would meet as we slip, but rather how savory and full the taste is in my mouth.
I notice how much less I drink, and those raw nerves are still affected, but now with refences to the moon shining throught my shades, or how the warmth it brings warms me from the inside out.... You are here, but fading.
I offer this glass of wine to me.....

They say sleep comes easily to the innocent ... I wonder what is so plaguing my thoughts and keeps me so restlessly awake.
I can't deny aching for the loving touch of a woman, my woman. Is that why I'm awake? Sins of the flesh wrecking my nerves and awaking my soul?
If I'm honest I would have thought that these desires would have long subsided in my more mature years, but hot diggeity dog, it's as if I've just been awaken and my hands, my mouth, my senses are on alert. I long for those slow nights of need, when I could watch a thin film of sweat shimmer on her body through the shades. The slow easy build up of growing passion that every so often took us far enough as to leave us breathless. More often than not it led to a that wicked deep tension and that oh so wonderful release.
A woman's body is an amazing thing. The ability to steer it for just a while, the trust given to awaken and command it and the satisfaction of having been the stimulus for the flow,the slippery moisture, well, that's a present we sure give and take of each other.
God bless the woman who comes to bed each and every night as if prepared,to share in their lovers fantasies. I'd like to order of of those please. A woman who assumes a yes is the answer.... A woman who comes dressed to entice... A woman who comes to bed with that clean soapy fresh smell, before the deeper thicker musky smell arises. It makes you feel like she actually cares about your fantasies....
Fantasies... So many, to many, too sorted and detailed to write about...
Femme, butch, futch, what difference does these titles hold when the end goal is feeling like you are exactly where you are supposed to be...
I'll hold you and you hold me, and I'll take you, and guide you if you need, show you when I need, and let you roam when you feel safe...and we'll skip the titles and just indulge. I don't want much, but for those couple of hours I want it all. I'm greedy like that. Shame and shyness are out the door ...give me what you've only dream of giving, I'll take it all without hesitation, I'm good at taking love, I thrive on love... Just make it last a while... Let me love for a while.
Ok, my thoughts have long since strayed from the innocent...I envision the soft downy hair on her back, the arch of her back as I drip this warm candle wax ....the tangled jungle I happily part, no sign of a child, instead all woman;
Ah hell, I'm just lonely for physical touch, the idea of love in the dark doesn't work for me...so I'm lonely for contact...and I dream of that first touch again and again...
I wonder when we collectively became afraid of saying those words, I'm lonely ... Not the same as live with me now, move in and adapt to my ways, it doesn't mean act like a hussy and just do whatever with whomever, it doesn't say I am ashamed...it says I've lived, I've lost, I've grown, I long for something more than I had before... And even now, the rivers flow when the rain falls.... And it's falling, and flowing...and it's ok to desire and need....
spiraling thoughts of soft opening thighs, tender folds, of whispered instructions, of gentle pleads and demanding sighs...
I guess this is why I can't sleep.....

This Woman
She laid long and slender next to me.
Her body at once both strong and soft.
She laid quietly, submissively, as my hands roamed the curves and valleys of her body.
She offered no resistance to my explorations
Her lips and tongue engaged
Normally, my mind would race in anticipation of the steps to follow ...
But this last night, it was her hardened large nipples that distracted me,
And her soft mound of wild long hair that I focused on...
Here's the surprise ...
No soft moans escaped her lips,
No intake of breathe suggesting her anticipation of my successful treasure hunt
No arching of encouragement pushing my hands further, or suggesting my fingers explore
No leaning in...
And I wonder, so why offer this submission,
Why slide your panties off when you snuggled up so close to me..
Why close your beautiful eyes and suggest passion...
Why, when in fact you are so clearly bored.
Now I'm bored too

There's tomorrow, there's always tomorrow ...and a world of tomorrows.
But what if there aren't so many left.
What if that hurt look you parted with was the last look you'd have?
Or perhaps even worse, the last look was over your shoulder at her with sadness in her eyes and all that would have been needed to change that look was a smile from you.
What if 'time keeps slipping into the future'...and there no more tomorrows for you two.
What if she never knows that she was your everything - that you never really got it before, that she peeled that onion even as it made you both cry.
What if all you wanted to do was love her until you died in her arms
What if you waited too long to tell her and she never really knew....
What would you leave for her that would ever make her understand that she was your forever, even as you walked away....
Just wondering...

The day started out with all the motivation to straighten up the place with hopes of feeling better about getting that out of the way....
Well, my progress report at the end of the day clearly shows the laundry got done. Think about that for a second. The laundry got done. It's not like I personally stand and hand wash each piece, I stick the clothes in the washer and and hour later, it's all ready for the dryer.
Easy peasy. Still, I take full credit for having done THAT today.
What I didn't do was the vacuuming, wiping down the cupboards and 'stuff'' , I didn't do the oven -it's not really dirty- just maintenance clean up and I didn't clip the pups (they probably nice and Waern with their fuzzy fur- I tell myself!)
Soooo, now, I made some truly funky mix of food, fried chicken, polenta and green beans - who eats that? Me. I cook to satisfy me. The polenta is soo good.
...got some nice peace and quiet, it's still dark and cold and rainy outside, got some warm food, it's time to dig in, grind 'em, partake of my dinner.
Bless me oh Lord for these thy gifts which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Chist Our Lord, amen. I pray my mother father brother and sister have a meal as good or better than the one I'm about to receive. Ps Lord, mom don't eat much anymore, dad is in heaven with you, my brother probably needs a lot of food any my sisha is anorexic. I pray my dear ones here and her kids have a good meal tonight.
I pray to slow down how quickly I eat my meal.
I need a good movie tonight, and looking forward to a conversation with a crazy spontaneous artist I recently met. I think she'll have tea while I have wine!
Green tea will do!?
One more cold December days down.... A bunch to go until the new year and new dreams start.

Can it truly be 'wrong', corny, silly or not butch enough to urge for romance long into the relationship? It feels so right to have your lover slip you a SMS or email that says, I desire you.
It feels so right to do the thing you know she likes, not that you think much of it, or even feel up to it, but you do, for her. I think we should never stop spoiling each other. Ever. Everyday should include two clear no question signs that your lover is the apple of your eye: one, something you do for her that you thought up, and something you KNOW she likes.
What to do for her, you say.... Well, I can tell you what to do for me:
Lean over and kiss my ear, and whisper something sexy - a promise that doesn't need to be kept but it feels so promising
Stroke my back as we fall asleep - it feels safe and soothing
Suggest dinner alone in the kitchen to candle light, even if you're just having bacon and eggs for dinner
Take a shower together and hold her like she is the most important person in the world, hold her like you'll die without her
At least once, let her know that you need her. Not that it's nice she is there, not that she makes you happy, but let the words come from your most vulnerable place and let her know you'll be so lost without her.
Look, romance is not dead, it just lays frozen under the winters cold ... and life is just too short to not give your heart and soul...even if you have to do it over an over again...
It's worth it to open up and give it all each time you love. It has to be worth it.

I wander if there is a bigger gulf in my understanding of swedish women...
How much sweeter, kinder, romantic, daring and revealing it would be to be with a woman who is strong enough to say, I hurt, I need, I love you
I would rather that than one that hides behind hurt feelings with aloftness...
It's like sex, not expressing things felt , becomes plain old boring....
I don't want boring again
Crying, feeling, expressing, laughing - thats living ......
Damn, I really want a matured secure woman who is willing to show her real self ....
I will, will you................

I got the sweetest email from one of th ladies here on QX just minutes after posting my first Spiraling Thoughts
The asked question was, what do I need and want in a lover ...
Even as I stare at those words, my mind reels. What does any of us need, what do we want?
A woman who looks at me with love in her eyes
A woman safe enough in herself to show me her fears and weaknesses, knowing I'll do all I can to give her strength when she needs it
A woman who can be free enough to trust herself with me nd me with her
A woman who can offer me her needs trusting me to fill them when I can and visa versa.
Oh hell, I want someone I can believe in. Who listens to me, can talk to me, discuss with me and then together we walk a path. Listening and dismissing is so insulting, so demeaning.
I want to not be bored with her lack of interest
I want a woman who turns me on with not just what is in my head for her but by what she does with me, to me, for me...
I want to lay next to her every night and smell her freshly washed skin, and hair whether we make love or not, she would love and respect me enough to to lay next to me clean.
I want to have sexual fantasies of her, and she of me...and we share it, even if we are too tired to act on it...just to keep a little spark ignited.
I want a basic woman, who knows her needs, her limitations and her dreams. I now know what its like to be with a broken woman who has let others beat her down and can't see that I was there doing my best to help build her back up, until it was not appreciated.
I want to live with my woman. I want a soft, clean, sexy bedroom that makes us both smile to walk in
I want to trust she will take my financial situation as seriously as she takes her own and share in the load not be the load.
I want to make love with music playing in the back ground, I want to dance with her in the kitchen, I want to sing in the shower for her.
I want romance.... Quiet evenings watching tv or reading books...A simple picked flower on my plate because it reminded her of me, of us.
I want to believe we are looking out for each others interest, and we don't want to up each other.
I want to drink wine under the stars I want to believe she forgives and forgets when I apologize.
I want to believe she sees us as equals - not that I am trying to outdo her, or be better. She has to believe.
I have to be in love, and have a woman who is willing to be in love I want tears of love
I want laughter and simplicity
I want a fantastic place that we make our sanctuary, or love next, our home. for once in my life, I want an us.....
I want my lady to be in love with me
This is what I need in a lover.

The truth is, I have loved so deeply, so sincerely ...
I have loved and been loved ...and really, I have been supremely lucky in love, in life, iin my choices and my decisions.
So what brings me to this stage and place in my life where I don't have the love of a woman?
Perhaps it's too soon to 'talk' of it, but it feels like the only way to spurge my soul and move forward.
I though we were there.
I though after a bunch of stops and starts, we had hit a grove.
You know that feeling you get in the morning when you wake - knowing without a shadow of a doubt that you are though of, or running over to be with her because you know even if she is tired and hasn't had time to clean up before I came over, there would be that smile, that twinkle that wrapped around my heart.
Or that little start that seeing an new email from her brought.
I felt happy that she was in the world and alive and God willing, thinking of me.
I felt safe in love. That's what I felt with her.
With her my mind was free to wander and fantasize about our place together - how we'd agrue about decorating how she'd surely win, or our next trip or the next new restaurant we'd be so sure was 'the' best one yet.
With her I imagined nights of sweet loving and passion ... Something long left to the side due to life 'issues' but that I ached for. With thoughts of her, I could still dream.
But it's over now ... And I wonder what I was thinking.
I was silly enough to be the one dreaming and hoping for what I hoped for.
I didn't hear her silence when it came to how it would work out to live together.
I didn't pay attention to how easy it was to not get those emails I so often asked for.
And those neglected passionated nights I longed for, became our routine.
What was I thinking.
Ok, so, in retrospect Im left to assume a few things, maybe I really am not great girlfriend material, love at my age, what am I thinking.
I do like things a certain way, and compromises come hard.
I'm stuck in my way of being - she never stood a chance.
And ok, maybe it's too much to expect romance after months and months, but that brings me back to ...I won't compromise that. It's an essential.
And, well, maybe I'm not the best lover in the world, but this one isn't my fault, I've been told so darn many times that I am good, I believed it... The clue should have been when the desire flew out the door for her... Slow of me not to pay attention.
So, now, for sometime I think I'll just fill this space with my sense of feeling lose ...with my frustration, with my hurt.
I have to rethink this busy of believing that there is a chance for love at my age ...or maybe it's about me being a foreigner in a country who's customs are so clearly defined... Or maybe its just not in the cards for me.....
It's going to be a long cold December.
