eros

Eros is romantic love.  It is the head-over-heels feeling we get as the relationship moves on.  It is when your world & mind centers around one person and you strive for time to be romantically together all the time.   It may be associated with lust or wanting to covet.  Eros love manifests during the early stage of a relationship.  It is to mutually desire each other. Sadly, eros is not sustainable.  It usually lasts 18-24months in the best relationships before the relationship moves on into another form of love or the relationship does not progress or ends.

The Greek word eros is passionate love with sensual desire and longing. Love is initially felt for the person, with contemplation becomes an appreciation of the beauty within the person. Plato describes it as a feeling far beyond physical attraction.  

The love of young men and women is common love.  It is the love of lust and vulgar love of the body.  It is the love of wealth and power, and is fleeting.  Common love causes man to act irrationally, emotionally.  It is the type of love that causes jealousy and anger in mates

The ultimate form of love is heavenly love. To love who treats you kindly, with the most honor, virtue, and goodness. It is the love of those with higher virtue or also known as the love of the older Aphrodite. Love that is everlasting. The love that is the hardest to find. It is when your mind, heart and spirit are finally in synchrony.

i became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity

love

Instrument 

to bring me forth

another time

In every tune

a different place

Of endless thoughts

my soul afloat

Rhythm of heart

with sweet music blending

Caressing the keys

swaying to the beat

Gentle touch

is a classical theme

that brings to mind

only of romantic settings

Like soft satin

flying in the wind

Dream beyond

a ballroom to waltz

champagne spilling

graceful thrusting

A quiet evening

together 

but still longing
