Brooklyn Love

…and there she was, Brooklyn Love just strolling down the street, happy and full of joy and carrying a train of pride behind her. You cannot keep love down.

A Moment of Eternity

Sandy Hibbard — Fri, 25 Nov 2016 14:27:05 +0000

Remember when you first fell in love? The many times you fell in love? Remember how in the beginning every moment was magic and you wished it would never end? In the midst of your love affair the responsibilities of daily living and other people and problems start to creep in (and they always do). Life continues and you have to deal with the circumstances you are in and the humanity of the people involved. I remember writing this during one of those times when I knew that eventually the reality of a situation would overtake the magic of the passion. As I have grown in life and love, I have realized that keeping that moment of eternity takes a determined focus from both parties, a commitment to loving and keeping the blaze of passion ignited – no matter what – requiring a focus on each other – giving, loving, caring, paying attention. It is not an easy thing, and no matter how hard we try, still, sometimes, it doesn’t work out. But I am convinced that those beautiful moments are to cherish and for our hearts tender keeping, and sometimes, they will last forever!
Love and HUGS!
Sandy

A Moment of Eternity
I don’t want the world to crush down on us
I want to stay in this moment
with you
covered in your kisses
lost
in the rapture of our love
If it lasts a day
a week
an hour
I will cherish it
like it were an eternity
I will hold each memory
fresh in my mind
trembling
with every tingled rush of my body
remembering
every tender, passionate word spoken
every uttered sigh. . .

Norman Mailer: The Paris Review – Love Stays, People Travel on

Sandy Hibbard — Fri, 25 Apr 2014 14:07:48 +0000

I was at an exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art this year and snapped a pic of part of an installation. I love this brief section from Norman Mailer on love, women and marriage. I think it is actually quite beautiful to ponder. After having a few relationships of my own, I find this very interesting and full of truths, kinda cool to hear from a man’s point of view. Let me know what you think. Love and Peace!

The Paris Review

MAILER: Every wife is a culture, and you enter deep into another culture, one that’s not your own, and you learn an awful lot from it. And give the fact that marriage is not always a comfortable institution, you chafe in that culture. For example, suppose you spend ten years of your life in France. And you finally decide to leave. You wouldn’t for the rest of your life say, I hate France. You’d say, France has an awful lot to offer. I have my differences with it, but I’m happy I spent ten years in France. . . .
ARTIST REPLY: People are sent to us for the most amazing reasons…sometimes for just a second. Good…every relationship, every man has a beautiful meaning in your life…for no matter now short or long the love affair lasted…love stays…people travel on.

Love, Lace, and Fragile Things

Love, Lace, and Fragile Things

Bare my back to the wind
black, chilly
cold and haunting
tears taunting
not good enough to keep
not long enough to sleep
keep me in your glance
taken in the chance
of loving you
fragile lace
in your embrace
our future pace
questioned
ribbons tied to keep me down
a tender touch to heal your frown
silken kisses
covering your face
mine is a stranger’s fate
cold then hot
to love or not…

Love isn't perfect and neither is he

Sandy Hibbard — Fri, 10 May 2013 22:13:41 +0000

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”
― Bob Marley
