for you the special one..... who shines so ever bright.....
GENTLE Love, ungentle for thy deed, Thou makest my heart A bloody mark With piercing shot to bleed. Shoot soft, sweet Love, for fear thou shoot amiss, For fear too keen Thy arrows been, And hist the heart where my beloved is. Too fair that fortune were, nor never I Shall be so blest, Among the rest, That Love shall seize on her by sympathy. Then since with Love my prayers bear no boot, This doth remain To cease my pain, I take the wound, and die at Venus' foot.

Don't be so ridiculous Brian, I think it was meant 'tongue in cheek' because you sent a private love declaration on a public forum. Your not seriously taking it as an insult are you? Hope you had a great day.

Brian, your love posts have got me thinking about what love really is and what other peoples definitions of love are. ES is a discussion forum, therefore if you post private thoughts on here, people will discuss them and you shouldn't take it as an attack. Obviously love means different things to different people and that is natural. I must admit that every time I read your public love declarations, I feel uncomfortable and can't quite understand why.
For me, love is about so much more than feeling the need to tell all and sundry of your love, it is an intensely private thing. Love is about a husband or wife being diagnosed with a fatal and debilitating illness, having to care for them 24/7, washing them, dressing them, feeding them, taking them to the toilet and wiping their backside and being thankful to god every minute of every day that they are still with you. Love is about an old couple, who have been married for 50 years and have been through good times and bad times. Have raised families, lost loved ones, faced job losses, faced moments of joy and times of sheer sadness yet still look at one another with the same adoration as the day they met. Love is about knowing your partners imperfections and still loving them for it. I personally don't feel that 'love' is something between two people that have only ever met on the Internet and not in person, which I believe is your situation Brian. That can only be a cross between excitement, lust and infatuation and whilst that is lovely, it is NOT love. What does everybody else think?

HAHAHAHAHAA
Oh, shoot me! This is the most hillarious joke I have heard for the whole weekend! I have been sitting at home working on such tough stuff, my brain has swollen from thinking and problem solving. Thanks, citizen and claire, for making me laugh. No, I am not Brian's "gentle love". This is funny. I wrote to Brian that he needed to grow up, but then ah, why bother, too much fighting everywhere, so I tried to delete it, but for some reason this thing kept posting, and posting, and I kept deleting and deleting..Anyway, sorry girls, but you still have to solve the mystery of who the gentle love is

Claire, I fully agree with you. Would you post this to "What is love?" It would be so great

My apologizes...... Don't like being attacked becasue i attack nobody...... I disrepect nobody in this forum..... as for rejection..... don't think so....
Please don't ever threaten me again. It does you no credit. If anything happens to me then people will know who to look for !!

Oh, chap, please, keep it to yourself. It was my tongue in cheek response to the girls' joke that I found hillarious. I just thought I needed to jump in and clarify that I had nothing to do with any kind of gentle love or ode-singing on this board

LuxorLover, I'm very much with you, he has a knack for threatening people on here (I've been threatened before), however he is a little man and as you say not worthy of the adversary... Cheers

Brian - nobody was attacking you in any way shape or form, thats what is really weird about it! But hey! As you take 'non attacking' threads as 'attacks' then I may as well go for the jugular instead of being diplomatic. I think you are one hell of a weird guy sending these types of threads to some girl that you lets face it, YOU HAVE NEVER MET BEFORE! Ok you may have emailed each other, maybe even seem each other on Webcam but lets face it - you haven't met her!I also find it strange that you try to set yourself up as Mr Nice Guy when often your posts portray something quite different.
This is a Public forum. If all 4500 members were ALL to post there love poems to their significant other on ES - well lets face, It would be pretty damn tedious. I am sure the Eternal love would have been more than happy to receive this email in her private yahoo/hotmail inbox.

I promised myself that I would not rise to Brian's bait as I think he is a complete nutter but .... Brian posted dreadful peotry on an open forum because he wanted everyone to read it. Then he threatened me nastily for making a tongue-in-cheek one line comment. I do not accept his appology because he does not mean it.
Claire,
Well done, you have hit the nail on the head. Sex-line chat rooms are full of inadequate people like Brian who are incapable of maintaining one-to-one relationships. Very sad.
NoxReducer
I'm sorry to learn that you were threatened too. Can we form a club? But, Brian is sick in the heat so I suppose we should pity him both as a person and as a failed poet.

LOL Claire, I think at least HALF of them have posted their broken heart stories, and yes it has become tedious and boring.
