With the fire from the fireworks up above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand
You run for cover in the temple of love
You run for another but still the same
For the wind will blow my name across this land

In the temple of love you hide together
Still believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather
And the tears he cried will rain
On walls as wide as lovers' eyes

In the temple of love, shine like thunder
In the temple of love, cry like rain
In the temple of love, hear my calling
In the temple of love, hear my name

And the devil in a black dress watches over
My guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning
Black wind come carry me far away

With the sunlight died and the night above me
You run for cover in the temple of love
You run for another, it's all the same
For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside

With the fire from the fireworks up above
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain
You run for cover in the temple of love
Shine like thunder, cry like rain

And the temple of love grows old and strong
But the wind blows stronger, cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before this
Black wind calls my name to you no more

In the black sky thunder sweeping under
Ground and over water
Sounds of crying, weeping will not save
Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar

All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave
When stone is dust and only air remains
In the temple of love, shine like thunder
In the temple of love, cry like rain
In the temple of love, hear my calling
In the temple of love, hear my name

And the devil in a black dress watches over
My guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning
Black wind come carry me far away

With the sunlight died and the night above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside
You run for cover in the temple of love
You run for another, it's all the same
For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside

With the fire from the fireworks up above
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain
You run for cover in the temple of love
Shine like thunder, cry like rain

And the temple of love grows old and strong
But the wind blows stronger, cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before this
Black wind calls my name to you no more

In the black sky thunder sweeping under
Ground and over water
Sounds of crying, weeping will not save
Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar

All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave
When stone is dust and only air remains

In the temple of love, shine like thunder
In the temple of love, cry like rain
In the temple of love, hear the calling
In the temple of love, is falling down

In the temple of love, in the temple of love

In the temple of love, shine like thunder
In the temple of love, cry like rain
In the temple of love, hear my calling
In the temple of love, hear my name

In the black sky thunder sweeping under
Ground and over water
Sounds of crying, weeping will not save
Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar

All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave when
Stone is dust and air remains the
Only haven you can trust

And the devil in the black dress watches over
My guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning
Black wind come carry me far away

With the fire from the fireworks up above
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain
You run for cover in the temple of love
Shine like thunder, cry like rain

And the temple of love grows old and strong
But the wind blows stronger, cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before this
Black wind calls my name to you no more

Hide together, the temple of love

In the temple of love you hide together
Still believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather
And the tears he cried will rain
On walls as wide as lovers' eyes

In the temple of love, shine like thunder
In the temple of love, cry like rain
In the temple of love, near the calling
And the temple of love, is falling down

Love is the ultimate power in the universe.
Love is giving away all that power.
Love is trusting your partner to respect the ultimate power in the universe.

Good luck :smt023

Heinlein said (through Lazarus Long) that love is the state wherein another person's happiness and welfare are necessary for your own.

Love exists for people in a context. The nature and quality of love changes depending on the people experiencing it, and on the change in these people (or animals) over time.

Love songs and media give this idea that you are completed by another person....Or that love should be selfless. I believe that Love can best be fully experienced and sustained from a strong "self" rather than a martyred "self".

There is no "one true love". There are many true loves. Real love can exist in forms that build and forms that destroy. Sometimes you experience love from people who do both at the same time. Some people think that if it is destructive, it is not really "love". I disagree. It might really be "love" but you still should run away.

People question if they were really in love once the relationship ends...or once their feelings change. Just because something ends does not negate the facts that it once existed.

Sometimes love can be expansive and not object oriented. Feelings of connectivity between the self and the environment can fill a person with deep, expansive love.

I think love has to exist through some level of connectivity. At least for humans and most mammals. I am not sure a human can maintain love in total enforced isolation, including love for the self.

My definition of Love drastically changed after I ate more than a quarter-oz of psilocybin mushrooms one morning :shock:

My definition of love is ABSOLUTE FRIENDSHIP.
the Shakespearean love don't exist nowadays, in my opinion it is stupid and shallow.

The true LONG-LASTING love, the one that defines solid marriage is based on trust, synergy, harmony and most importantly companionship.

Nobody comes out of an experience with a healthy dose of 'shrooms, not changed. 8)

I have tripped about 200 times, mostly between 1976 and 1990. Psilocybin, acid, X, peyote, and more. Never had a bad trip. Used it as a tool to expand my consciencness, studied the writings of Leary, Osmond, Owsely, Stafford, Lilly, Huxley and countless other "experts" to try and understand the transformational power of psychedelics. In the end, it is a personal journey and labels or written descriptions fail on every level to quantify the experience.

makes sense. A nonverbal Journey is hard to describe in words. Love itself is hard to describe in straight forward words. That's why there is so much poetry and much art on the subject. :smt049
