Ashford & Simpson - Gimme Something Real

Ashford & Simpson - I'm Every Woman

Ashford & Simpson - Solid

I WANT TO BE RESCUED...I don't want to be a lonely independent woman.

Today, in this moment I want to be rescued.  I want to be pampered, coddled and tended to.  I want kindness heaped on me for no good reason. I want to be the center of some one's attention.  I want someone to say "Don't worry, I got this"  and I want it to be true.  I want someone to run my bath and fill it with hot hot water with lovely oils and fluffy towels and when I get out of the bath I want him to rub my back with lotion.  I want my feet massaged. I want my scalp massaged. I want to be fanned.

Today I want to be rescued. I want to be babied.  I want to be wrapped in a hug that has nothing to do with sex or foreplay. I want poetry whispered in my ear.  I want vegan chocolates and champagne at midnight and scrambled eggs and turkey bacon at noon.

It is lonely in my bed, in my house, in my life.  I miss the company of someone. I miss mundane.  I miss ordinary. I miss Sunday mornings with all the newspapers spread across the bed with bagels and non-dairy cream cheese (yes non-dairy cream cheese does exist).  I want what used to be, because it ended before I could really enjoy it. Sigh.

Today in this moment I want to be rescued. I want to be thought of.  I want to be wanted.  I am tired of feeling like the last kid on the playground not picked for kick ball.(although  that was not my reality as a child)

I want I want I want I want. I want to be rescued.... I don't want to be a lonely independent woman.  And shut up to all those folks who say wait and fill your life with things and activities and crafts and toys and friends.  I know all that stuff! I have done all that stuff!

In this moment...

...I want to be rescued.

Yes it's calmer...

I decided to change the look of the blog.  This is my third time in 4 years or so since I've been blogging.  I went from that stark and bleak BLACK, to the flowers, to this.  Yes, it's decidedly calmer. It is reflecting my hopes and dreams... a calmer existence....peace and tranquility...the world just beyond my door.

It will change again someday.  I am after all, a transitioning woman.

Lyrics | James Ingram lyrics - Whatever We Imagine lyrics

Bob Marley - Is this Love

I wanna love you and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We'll be together with a roof right over our heads;
We'll share the shelter of my single bed;
We'll share the same room, yeah! - for Jah provide the bread.
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
I wanna know - wanna know - wanna know now!
I got to know - got to know - got to know now!

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I - I'm willing and able,
So I throw my cards on your table!
I wanna love you - I wanna love and treat - love and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We'll be together, yeah! - with a roof right over our heads;
We'll share the shelter, yeah, oh now! - of my single bed;

Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Wo-o-o-oah! Oh yes, I know; yes, I know - yes, I know now!
Yes, I know; yes, I know - yes, I know now!

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I - I'm willing and able,
So I throw my cards on your table!
See: I wanna love ya, I wanna love and treat ya -
love and treat ya right.
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads!
We'll share the shelter of my single bed;
We'll share the same room, yeah! Jah provide the bread.
We'll share the shelter of my single bed - /fadeout/
