Make it last a little longer

One too many days

I've felt forgotten

And one too many nights

I've slept alone.

And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten

I tell myself I'll try a little harder

Next time.

Sacred are the ties

That love entrusts us

Even if they fray

Before they bind

And I'm afraid I never

Did you justice

So I'm going to feel my

Love a little stronger

Make it last a little longer

Next time.

Next time

I ain't gonna fall on my knees

And come out of love emptyhanded.

But next time I'll be even harder to please

When will the next time be?

                       ~~Next Time, Dan Fogelberg

Dan Fogelberg was an iconic songwriter and performer (not to mention quite easy on the eyes).  He lived from 1951 to 2007 when he unfortunately lost his battle to prostate cancer.  There's a poignancy and message of hope to these lyrics, love a little stronger, make it last a little longer.  In his own life, Dan was married three times of relatively short stint.  I believe these lyrics came from his own heart and intention.  

Dan graced us with many memorable songs like the one above.  Another one of my faves is Longer, which I had sung at my wedding - so that tells you the flavor of it.   It's difficult to pick only one fave.  His own favorite and straight from his heart, is Leader of the Band.  If you only have time to experience one for yourself, listen to Leader of the Band.

My only question is, why has Dan Fogelberg not been inducted into the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame?  At least the Denver Music Hall of Fame got it right for one of their own.

If I ask that boy to jump, I know he would

He don't even have to say, it's understood

He treat me nice, he treat me right, he treat me good

Still I get so hesitant, still I get so hesitant

So I took myself where I think I should be

Someone told me that he's waiting here for me

Parisian nights, Parisian hot, Parisian breeze

Feeding me like medicine, feeding me like medicine, yeah

It's so romantic in Paris

Won't even try to compare it

Thought I was sure that I'd find it

But I already have love in LA

It's so romantic in Paris

Won't even try to compare it

Thought I was sure that I'd find it

But I already have love in LA

Yeah, I already have love in LA

What is Poise?

I found a wonderful quote while keyword searching.  "Poise - The ability to be ill at ease inconspicuously."~~Earl Wilson.  I had to smile when I read that.  Why else would we be taught the importance of poise but to carry us through moments of nervous anticipation?  Which, by the way, isn't necessarily a bad thing, perhaps it's a precipice before euphoria.  

Happy shopping!

The Best Part of Waking Up

I'm pleased with how this shot turned out.  And I LOVE the items I'm sharing with you in this post!

CHEZ MOI's Delight Coffee Station is back at the main store now.  The reason(s) you'll like - it includes the farmhouse cabinet and ALL of the decor pieces shown, finely crafted to give you a fun coffee experience.  I tested the animations (and am using one of the female bento selections), all smooth.  There are various rez options, from the complete build - my fave, lol - to rezzing separate decor pieces to place elsewhere.  So there's a lot of punch here for our lindens.  

Vanity Hair's Quorum is a delightful little bob, found now at the Fetish Fair.  Short hair can be extremely sexy and this one is!  My blouse/jumper set by Meva is Lillian for Maitreya ladies, at Cosmopolitan.  It reminds me of Working Girl - a head for business and a bod for sin.  ;)  Finally, my knock-out heels are by Mosquito's Way called Jimena.  They are at the Dubai Event, and it won't take much consideration to get a pair for your collection since they're so yummy.

Happy shopping, and stay safe!

As Constantly As Possible

"You will remember at all times - or as constantly as possible - that you have lost all right to privacy or concealment, and as a reminder of this fact, in our presence you will never close your lips completely, or cross your legs, or press your knees together ... this will serve as a constant reminder, to you as well as to us, that your mouth, your belly, and your backside are open to us."  The Story of O, Pauline Réage (pen name), 1954

You've read it.  I know you have.  I haven't.  Nooooooo.  ;)

Love Is Like A Flame

Love hurts

Love scars

Love wounds and marks

Any heart not tough or strong enough

To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain

Love is like a cloud, it holds a lot of rain

Love hurts

Ooh love hurts

I'm young

I know

But even so

I know a thing or two, I learned from you

I really learned a lot, really learned a lot

Love is like a flame, it burns you when it's hot

Love hurts

Ooh love hurts

Some fools think

Of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness

Some fools fool themselves, I guess

They're not foolin' me

I know it isn't true I know it isn't true

Love is just a lie made to make you blue

Love hurts

Ooh love hurts

Ooh love hurts

                ~~ Love Hurts, Nazareth
