Like Gina said, below, this is sure not what I expected from the title. It's beautiful, Peter. Loving, tender, soft and flowing. Hmmm, maybe you should give it a new title!

She's a very lucky woman.
Hugs,

AWESOME!! Universal thoughts expressed uniquely and, although perhaps not overtly oriental, the feel is EXACTLY how your chosen visuals represent it. Deeply mystical, and, as also shown, of the gentle delicacy of butterfly wings, the tenacity of eternity and of the strength of that for which we might fight to the death. Subtle passion of the highest order and intensity. Totally gorgeous, thank you. LOL K xx

Romance is the dream of perfection from the heart. You are that dreamer who donates the energy to animate each write to perfection for the feast of our hearts....and, you do it well. I'm very fortunate for having you as a friend in my life. You are important to me.

You are that Knight in shining armor, Peter...aptly dubbed for the cruise, I might add, as you thrill and delight us with with this glimpse into romance.

"stimuli of intention, flies between source and intended
linking you inexorably, betwixt the heart and soul
and as our voices caress, the mobiles at our ears"

Oh those intangibles that tantalize and seal...and cross the miles unspoken, unheard...messages of the soul with an exceptional Postman!
Irresistably romantic poetry in your pen, Peter!
Love,
taylor

Dear Peter,

Once more, again,
You light up the Den.
Gold is the ink
That flows from your pen.

Love & Light,

"...I am sitting here, looking far out at the emerald sea
sending my spirit out to you, across the channel of your dreams
as the gentle waves lap, against the seaweed covered rocks..."

Peter, you do have a way with thoughts and words.

Ahh for the reality of life to be a knight in shining armor riding on his white steed coming whisk up each damsel in distress...the fairytale rarely comes true, but I suspect that it must for some.
Romantic, sweet and oh so gallant.
Take care,

Fortunately, I do not have that Asian fantasy. She is in my bedroom every night in her teenage nighties, "Am I beautiful... ugly... too tall... short... fat.. skinny? Even with all her doubts, she's a wonder to behold and cuddle. ...And I don't have to fly off to Vietnam or the movies to see her... yummie!

BTY, she thinks that girl is hot, too!
