Oh sorry, I adored when Jesus shakes the stars. Indeed.
Alexandra…The love poems in Song of Songs/The Song of Solomon is beautiful too. The archaic language is kind of intense and makes me smile…
Arise, my love, my fair one,
and come away;
for lo, the winter is past,
the rain is over and gone.
Your eyes are doves
behind your veil.
Your hair is like a flock of goats,
moving down the slopes of Gilead.
Your cheeks are like halves of a
pomegranate
behind your veil.
Your two breasts are like two
fawns,
twins of a gazelle
that feed among the lilies.
….each verse..and so many more verses. You will have to read them yourself. Imagine having a man siting lines like that to us *laughing*.
love is poison, love is honey… too much honey is poison, sometimes poison turns to honey. faith, hope & love mirrored produces agape love, so beautiful, seldom lasting except in a religion…
to strong women, sensitive men, marriages & love.
Dear Thelma,
Thank you for the “mou”, because in French it has another explanation. To give “mou” is to release a rope a bit . Not the same thing indeed. It is also offals you could give to a cat for lunch. I like to discover the different meanings of the words through all languages. :)
Phaedra is a piece I studied in college. I really liked it, and many other writings from Racine (Root in french). Though sometimes she annoyed me complaining. :) I really understood her later…
What we could say, the art of Racine is a genious one. Sometimes I’m admiring to the way that kind of authors had to write in verses. What a work!
Good night to all of you.
With gratitude.

Thank you all for appreciating the music of Mikis Theodorakis. The film was ‘Phaedra’ based on the ancient myth. Of course, my Wanbliska it was Eros, a big ‘forbidden’ passion ended in tragedy. There is the whole story and everything about the film in the Google, I have just checked for you. [It is quicker, instead of me ..trying to explain].
MOU means mine, agape mou = my love
The words of the songs are really very beautiful. I remember I had seen the film when I was still at school and I was overwhelmed.
My dearest Paul from Austria, I think that Agape is also the LAST SUPPER and in the Orthodox church we name also the Holy Communion.
LOVE,
ΤΗΕLMA
she has such a wild imagination!
maybe that’s what i love about her!
LOL.
Wanbliska,Thelma and Paul
Thanks a lot for the explanation
Joël
Thank you Thelma! I love that woman, and never heard that song. Phaedra, lol. Mystery’s making circles.
What does mean “mou” ?
And Phaedra loves Hypolit. Was it an “agape” love? More an “Eros” one…
Nice day to you Darling.
i shall never forget my first love…
I have one idea .Why not asking your readers whom they consider the best love poems writer?Me I like very much Keats.
I had just re-read the email of this and thought about a few things on the various types of love ..
I think the poets do say it best -
Just like the sun and the stars and the sea ,True love will go on through eternity . Helen Steiner Rice
” Love possesses nothing and does not want to be possessed, because it is enough in itself. It will make you grow, and then throw you on the ground. It will whip you so that you feel your impotence, it will shake you to rid you of all your impurities. ”
Yes love does all these things and more ,it can cause heartache ,grief ,despair and tragedy ..but Love is also
Understanding -compassionate -
unfailing ,humble ..enduring ..
It is sharing and caring
Giving and forgiving,
Loving and being loved,walking hand in hand,
talking heart to heart ,
seeing through each others eyes,laughing together,weeping together,praying together,
and always trusting and believing’
and thanking God for each other ..
For love that is shared is a beautiful thing -
It enriches the soul and makes the heart sing ..
another Helen Rice ..I love her books ..
Have a wonderful weekend – everyone Love Tania

AGAPE mou ,AGAPE mou, with Melina Merkouri.
LOVE,
THELMA
Dear Joël,
Agapē is a greek word for divine or unconditional love. Spiritual love. Love for humanity and truth. This is also the name the first Christians gave to their lunches, in remembrance of the Last supper.
Agapē
Dear Joël,
If you make a Google search Agape love, you will find the answer. Agape is one ot the many greek words meaning love.[ΑΓΑΠΗ}
LOVE,
THELMA
Love has a deeper meaning than how an ordinary person perceives it. Nothing can give its exact definition, not even words…

Can someone explain me what agape is ?

Dear Paul from Austria, I started reading the poem, thinking, Paul the pirate, the pilot, the musician[ singing??], the cloud dweller, appears to be a poet too!
But it is a song from Whitney Houston, for… us the … Children having the masks of adults.
LOVE,
THELMA
p.s. I will try to find it in the You Tube. They have almost everything.
T.
Love is the only reality !!..that we should all be in ..
Blessings Tania
LOVE my fovourite subject. I think that it is the only thing that matters for me!
I am Greek so I understand with my whole being the three words: ΑΓΑΠΗ, ΦΙΛΙΑ & ΕΡΩΣ [LOVE, FRIENDSHIP and EROTIC LOVE].
I have read that chocolate brings the same feelings as when we are in love… So I like eating chocolates. It is …very safe and we can ..afford it.[No complications]
AGAPE, it is the lesson to love our enemy. In the books and in metaphysics it is the ideal, but in real life and when money or interests are involved, then we tend to forget our PATH, until… later.We know the story of Abel and Kain. But there is HOPE, finding LOVE and Harmony for ourselves first.
The EROS, the love of the poet, is every man’s, woman’s dream. The finding of the Soul Mate. The other, missing half. The person that will make you forget yourself. The one who will look into your eyes and soul and be able to surpass our egos, personas and personalities and be ONE and Abyss will be filled of GOD’S WILL and LIGHT. THE end of the Path.
LOVE,
THELMA
Oh sorry, I adored when Jesus shakes the stars. Indeed.
I don’t really agree with all of this, except with the Khalil Gibran quote. And I think I’m fed up with Oscar Wilde.
I never considered Love as something that makes fall. And to that point, I never understood why we say “falling in love” (the same in french). Maybe if we could change “fall” by “fly”, life would be better. I fly in love. So well…
I agree we could encounter defeat and sadness when loving, but as with our family and friends…By the time we have to deal with the other, it happens difficult time, as we have to look at ourselves, by the simple way of the relation is living. Though love is a feeling that grows and grows when it is true.
If love brings the same effect as cocaïne. I couldn’t tell. But that’s a great thing. I guess I’ll have a line each breakfast of my life.
Thank you Paulo.
:)
