Why can’t you take me along?
On those wild wide voyages you take?
The ones where you find,
All those adoring young fans
Whose hearts you never meant to break,
Until that one night you called me half-drunk in May
To wish me happy birthday, too early, by a month and a day
Oh, or maybe it was March… I can’t keep details straight,
And I asked why I heard the morning news,
Since you were fishing,
At half past eight…..

…..in the morning, right?

I’m a morning person myself, always wide-awake by six
Oh, I don’t care who you’re with right at this moment,
I’m hopelessly bored and lonely, needing a playtime fix
So can you Express-mail me a plane or train ticket?
A red-eye flight would be just fine
We can ride the open road together,
I’d let you borrow my winged shoes
Darn. Now that I think, you have too many feet
Oh well, we’ll still frolic our way cross-country
I’ll be flexible and quiet in my seat

Though I can’t promise on the “quiet” part
Yes, you know me all too well
I’m a noisy little girl,
And you’re a walking “expert” everything
Don’t call me cold, I just feel with my head
Nothing wrong with that, unlike your misguided craze
That leaves me in a daze,
As it springs out of no where, that puffed macho ego
Thinking women have their “place”,
I won’t bother waiting for your distractible face

So anyhow…. where I was getting at,
Before we were rudely sidetracked,
Oh, heck, just let me know where you are,
I don’t mind flying far….for you.

Also, check out some of my other posts on Free-for-all for other info about this situation...
I am hopeful, but not watching the mailbow as closely as I was the first few days home (referring to other top :"I'm watching the mailbox!.....).
Appreciate any advice/feedback on the new developments.
As always,
~Love and lite~

Getting right to work on getting it up...the poem!

there! http://www.lovestarz.com/geminisag.html

it is a nice balance to taj's more ethereal poem...yours is much more like Linda and it is fabulous!!! Thank you for helping to complete the series because all work and no play makes Carlo a dull boy lol

you know, my middle name is Tony, so if it doesn't work out...haha, although it sounds like you are a devoted woman, and in my opinion, if a guy cannot see that (and to be frank and honest, I have had my opinions over the years with respect to Gemini guys, often saying that they are the least equipped of all Sun sign guys at having a good, honest and enduring relationship with any woman, having heard my share of stories from my friends who tangled with them...even Danita now), then it is his loss. Yet proceed carefully giving your heart away too completely or quickly, and watch and continue to check him on a cavalier attitude...they all seem to exhibit characteritics that are not in accordance with a high level of emotional maturity in relationships, until they age, it seems to me. It seems to often that people keep their eyes half closed during courtship, and then they open widely later when there is a relationship. I often think it's better to have eyes wide open at first, so you can relax your gaze later. Although Aries...in with both feet...what can you do

Yet love unconditionally anyway! and know that Linda would be proud of you for making such a valiant effort with your square. It seems that you have a Virgo sensibility not to lose control, and Linda always said that of all signs, Virgo is the least seduceable (and one of the most seductive). Love is a choice, and if you make the choice to love this boy, you will learn some things and possibly have some greater rewards, like a better understanding of guys, if nothing else, or at least of Gemini guys. I wish you all the best fortune and strength in giving your love unconditionally, and I am glad to count you a colleague and friend here in the name of Linda Goodman

Amor Vincit Omnia!

hey, what ever happened to Taj?

Yes, I think that we Virgos have the ability to love openly with little or no fear of being hurt. You see, no matter what anyone says, no matter how tough we all think we are, no matter what, when we love another, we become vulnerable. Yet no matter what, we have to become vulnerable in order to truly love and be loved. Anyone who tries to run the show, control the other person, keep things a certain, predictable way, any of it...they will fail in love. Love is truly unconditional, it has to be given freely and without any feeling that "I deserve" anything in return, and I think that Virgos are probably the best sign in this respect, since we are the sign of selfless service, and we attempt to help (love) others. Oh, not that love means help, yet to love someone is a choice, and so is to help someone, and who could disagree that generally speaking, love helps. Virgos are good I think at choosing those whom we should love, and loving-come-what-may, since we usually help others in that same sense. So don't ever worry about the pain you may or might endure, that is the future, and forget the past hurts at the hands or words of another when you love anew, since it is so the past. Love and live only in the now and you have won, as it truly is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Jump in with both feet then!

Usually we have to walk through the dark to get to the light, so you bring your light and guess what...the dark actually disappears in an instant! Try it sometime, stand in a dark room, then turn on a light! The dark disappears altogether and in a snap when you bring light, so just bring light and love and you have won Everyone loves a winner, and as the old song goes, and never forget it:

The world will always welcome lovers, as time goes by.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O, no! it is an ever fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand’ring bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

***

For a KNOWFLAKE who cares about the TRUTH
With Virgo Clarity, he proceeds forsooth
Many a lesson he has learnt at what seems a great cost
You think that could stop him ? No, he is not lost!
Emotions he respects but feels that can deter one
If you could just keep those aside, he believes, you have won
For then, with objectivity, you call a spade a spade
Courteous yet firm, he believes, you've got it made
His vision is encompassing, he wants ALL to KNOW
With Clarity and Truth, you can stride forward for more
Undeterred by human obstacles that can cause you to miss
The "truth-hurt-set-you-free" remedy for eternal bliss
Yes, He is even more sensitive to such apparent human flaws
He is "Virgo-for-perfection", ruled by Vulcan's truth-abiding laws
And what with the Leos who walk through his chart
He has to be right and voice his truth from his teaching heart
Now at times this may not set well with a Knowflake or two
But really, if one knows a Virgo, he's upset as much as you
He's aware that distortions, however slight they may be,
Can halter the slow-progressing foundation of truth you see
So be it a person, a religion, a creed, a view that comes by
He scans and studies and filters - he can't afford a lie
With his Moon in Aquarius be ready for some quirky zig-zag posts
That may topple you off your seats - its like you're seeing ghosts
Explanations ? He has them a-plenty for he's ahead of you
In analysing his own statements - are they false? Do they ring true?
Not born Virgos, it does take most of us quite some time
To realise that idolization of Self is akin to a crime
But by and by we'll learn to hear the clarion call of a Virgo's song
Our Higher elves have recognized their devotion to Clarity all along
Now that we understand this Knowflake for following his quest
Its HAPPY BIRTHDAY from us - we wish for you only the best!

PS
When you Virgo-read the lines right to the end
KNOW that these word-druids are written by a friend

You liked it when we talked
And talked and talked
So you said, and
So I thought.

And my bright, sparkling eyes
You said they told lies
So I went away
That fateful day.

You seemed so surprised!
I mean, I came right back
Three weeks later.
I was in Vegas, man
I came back with a tan
I got it for you!
I won money too!
So I paid our rent
And out you went!
Almost as fast as me!
Blame blasted Mercury!
