I Just Want To Dance With You - R. Cook & J. Prine

I don’t want to be the one who hesitates,
Be too shy, wait too late
I don’t care what they say other lovers do,
I just want to dance with you.

Well, I gotta feeling that you got a heart like mine,
So let it show, let it shine.
If we get a chance to make one heart of two,
I just want to dance with you.

I want to dance with you, twirl you all around the floor
That’s what they intended dancin’ for,
I just want to dance with you.
I want to dance with you, hold you in my arms once more,
That’s what they invented dancin’ for,
I just want to dance with you.

I caught you lookin’ at me when I looked at you,
Yes I did, You know that's true?
You don’t get embarrassed by the things I do,
I just want to dance with you.

Now the boys are playin’ softly and the girls are too,
So am I, so are you.
If this was a movie, we’d be right on cue,
I just want to dance with you.

I want to dance with you, twirl you all around the floor
That’s what they intended dancin’ for,
I just want to dance with you.
I want to dance with you, hold you in my arms once more,
That’s what they invented dancin’ for,
I just want to dance with you.

I just want to dance with you.

From The Rose-Bette Middler

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes a chance.
And, the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live

Love Quote of the Week

Sing like no one's listening,
Dance like no one's watching,
Love like you can't get hurt,
And live like it's Heaven on Earth.

Some days I'm sad...

Luna, Luna why hast thou betrayed me?
The stage, set for romance,
But you scripted a tragedy.

Luna, Luna you let your light illuminate my tears
You cast your rays
But, what of your magic?

Oh Luna, you broke my heart
Only love can mend it now
But where is love?

Moonlight by McGorkus

By moonlight many years ago
My true love did I know,

And by that moon I begged her wait
But that night did she go

So young loves heed my words
Don't squander love away

The moon is changing ever still
Soon comes the light of day

Phases of the Moon

Phases Of The Moon
by Michael Anderson

As Sorrow often sits with Sadness,
Challenged in what truths they hold.
Inherently relying on a touch of madness-
Lying in stories left untold.

So sit I with the tranquil viewing-
Of a starlit sky in June.
With all the peace of a werewolf misconstruing-
The phases of the moon.

The stars seem to shine before me-
Like lovers in line for a dance.
But it's ultimately that lunacy-
That spells for me romance.

And I cast my gaze upon her face,
Beaming ever-white and full.
Smiling, knowing, long as she's glowing,
Life never will be dull.

I'll wake the morrow well appeased,
And wink up at the sky.
Knowing my love, in fullness, though be pleased,
Won't be half as full as I.

Idea for Romance

This Thursday there will be a full moon. Dress warm and take your sweetheart to the beach. Bring along wine, glasses and don't forget the corkscrew. Put some romantic muisc on the car stereo and roll down the windows. Get out of the car and dance on the beach under the moonlight. It is chilly in February but all the more reason to dance close. Try it. It's very romantic.

Date With the Moon

The western sky, brushed with peach,
The promise of a nice day.

There’s an air of eagerness.
An intended rendezvous,
A date with the moon.

Now plump, his face peeks from behind the clouds.
Glancing to the sunset and gazing at me.
He promises to be ready,
And, so will we.

Love Word of the Week

Cupid \KYOO-pid\ noun 1 : the Roman god of love
2 not capitalized: a figure that represents Cupid as a naked usually winged boy often holding a bow and arrow

The Story Behind the Word
According to Roman mythology, Cupid was the son of Mercury, the messenger god, and Venus, the goddess of love. In Roman times, the winged "messenger of love" was often depicted in armor, but no one is sure if that was intended as a sarcastic comment on the similarities between warfare and romance, or a reminder that love conquers all. The Romans sometimes saw Cupid as mischievous and careless, but in general he was seen as a good spirit who brought happiness to all.

An Innocent Hug

It was just an innocent hug, a thank you.

But as I stretched my arms around his broad shoulders.
He gathered me into his brawny embrace.
And induced me into a dream.

A softness met my lips,
And I was savoring the deliciousness of his mouth,
Sensing his tongue.
Striking me with desire…
Catching me in unexpected ecstasy.

We are KISSING this week.

As you get to know me, you will find out that I'm a great themer. I can't just be happy playing love songs on air, I have to have a theme for each program too. This of course means more work, but I love it and I've had so many good comments about the flow of my show that it is worth the trouble. Actually, one day, a fan called me on air as I was begining my show. He wanted to know what the weeks theme was. So, the audience, notices too.

This week the theme of the music and poetry is kissing. Hope you can tune in Sunday 4:00-6:00 PM AST on www.shoutcast.com . Put cfmh in the search field.

Types of Kisses

Basic Kisses
French Kiss
An open-mouth kiss usually involving tongue-to-tongue contact. Also known as a Soul kiss.

Butterfly Kiss
To brush one's eyelashes against a partner while rapidly blinking. It produces a light, ticklish sensation, as of a butterfly brushing one's cheek.

Eskimo Kiss
To touch the tips of each other's noses, then rub back and forth.

Thrown Kiss
A long distance kiss that is usually used as a farewell. Not too common anymore. Seen mostly in parades and silent movies. One 'kisses' their hand, then 'throws' the kiss to their distant partner, who usually completes the action by 'catching' the kiss and putting it on their mouth, cheek, or in their pocket. Can be traumatic if you don't warm up your arm.

Blown Kiss
Similar to the thrown kiss, but used at close range when a thrown kiss might be intercepted. One kisses their hand, then 'blows' the kiss toward their partner.

Hand Kiss
This kiss is another member of the thrown-kiss fairly. The only difference is that after the kiss is placed in the hand, it is personally delivered and applied to the other person's face. Although more accurate than either the thrown or blown kiss, it can be hazardous if delivered with a slap.

Make Up Kiss
After having upset your partner, this is the kiss that usually follows the apology. Often among the most passionate of kisses.

Sympathy Kiss
When one of the participants really doesn't want to kiss, but does anyway. Also known as a "pity kiss."

Upside Down Kiss
A kiss performed so that one partner's lips are upside-down to the the other partner, so that their mouths are top lip to bottom lip. This can be a very unusual and enjoyable kiss.

More Fun Kisses
Peaches Kiss
When you say the word peaches, your lips come together for less than a second. Imagine saying this when you kiss - it happens very quickly.

Prunes Kiss
Described as such because the movement of the lips during this kiss roughly approximates that caused by uttering the word prunes. It's Longer than a peaches kiss.

Alfalfa Kiss
Hold your tongue with your fingers and try to say alfalfa - you can't do it. Nor can you perform the alfalfa kiss without using the tongue.

Glass Kiss
This kiss is most commonly used when you are separated by a pane of glass. Oftentimes you are in a hurry and can't roll down the car window, or the sliding door is shut and you don't want to let the cold air in the house. If you are participating in a glass kiss and the other person pulls away to see your pressed lips, blow air into the window and make your checks swell.

Underwater Kiss
Remember wondering what it would be like to kiss underwater? Then you convinced your neighbor to try it with you in the pool, you found out it was no big deal: you can't feel their lips very well, the chlorine hurts your eyes, and you swallow water on your way to the surface. It may be more interesting if you fill the pool with Jell-O.

Noisy Kiss
A kiss that makes noise is not unusual, it's just noisy.

Kiss in the Dark
Kissing in the dark is a problem for those with bad sense of direction, they end up kissing the ear, eye etc.. One way to alleviate this problem is to locate your date's nose, grip it tightly to use as a reference point, and kiss below the hand.

Kiss Joke

Two old men were talking over old times and saying how much things had changed. "I mean," said the first, "I caught one of the boys kissing one of the girls yesterday.""Extraordinary," said the second."I didn't even kiss my wife before I married her, did you?""I can't remember. What was her maiden name?". -

Quote of the Week

Is not a kiss the very autograph of love?~ Henry Finck

Word of the Week Besot

besot \bih-SAHT\ verb1 : infatuate
2 : to make dull or stupid; especially : to muddle with drunkenness

The Story Behind the Word
Does the very sight of your darling leave you drunk with love this February? Consider yourself besotted. Our modern word "besot" developed from a combination of the prefix "be-" and "sot," a now obsolete word meaning "a habitual drunkard." "Sot" in turn comes from the Old English "sott," which was used as a noun meaning "fool" or "drunkard" and as a verb meaning "to stupefy." In its "infatuation" sense, "besot" is most often turned into a participial adjective, a role it is likely to play in literary musings on "besotted lovers." The first known use of "besotted" was in Sir Thomas North's 1580 translation of Plutarch's Lives, in which Antonius was described as "besotted by Cleopatra."

Give Me a Kiss

Give me a kiss,

Add to that kiss a score;

Then to that twenty,

Add a hundred more:

A thousand to that hundred:

So kiss on,

To make that thousand up a million.

Treble that million,

And when that is done,

Let's kiss afresh,

As when we first begun.

Robert Herrick

Awe, Joe.

This week we are fundraising at cfmh. We are a non-for-profit organization and though all the djs are volunteer, we do have some costs that we need to raise funds for. As a result, I was also on for four weekday mornings this week co-hosting with the morning djs, trying to raise some much needed cash. On Thursday, I got a call from a fellow dj. Apparently Joe, a friend of his, was listening from NY, the Big Apple, on his computer on www.shoutcast.com . He was chatting with his dj friend and asked who the girl (me) was that was on-air at the time. He said he had fallen in love with my voice. And, now he has a boyhood crush on me. Awe Joe! He had asked if I would say hi to him on air. I did. I hope he tunes in to Rendezvous. If he enjoyed me fundraising, he'll love me on Rendezvous.

Sorry Blog Hoppers

Well, this blogging is new to me and my busy and sometimes hectic life. But that is no excuse! If I'm going to be a blogger, then one I shall be. I vow to update my blog on a very regular basis from now on.

I'm flattered that I actually got an email from a visitor to my blog on Valentine's Day saying he was disappointed that I had not put something on for Valentine's Day. I am ashamed and sorry to all you blog hoppers that visited my blog and were disappointed. I will try not to let this happen again.

In all deference to Alfred Lord Tennyson, often our fancy "lightly turns to thoughts of love" long before the arrival of Spring—especially during February as we celebrate the feast day of St. Valentine, the patron of lovers.

Smitten

I’m bitten by the love bug.
Felt that little sting.
Now I’ve got a fever.
I do crazy things.

Cupid aimed his arrow,
At my ready heart.
And now I am love-struck
From that little dart.

You’ve become my obsession.
What’s a girl to do?
Since I’m head over heals
So in love with you.
