Remember ‘Unchained Melody’ by the Righteous Borthers? This song is a classic. It’s slow and melodious. There are quite a few versions of this number so it’s difficult to really narrate the origins and intentions of the song. Whatever the history, this song is undeniably beautiful. It’s one of those numbers you play at the end of a party when you have people above 25, who can appreciate melody and good music around you. You can slow dance to it or just sip on your choice of poison reminiscing about life et all. 😉
Unchained Melody – Poem by Ruelha
You are my melody. You are my ecstacy. I hunger for you. But, what can I do? Time passes me by. And all I do is cry. Because I need you. But I haven't a clue. About how you feel today. Do you think of me the same way? Baby, I need your love. To envelope me like a glove. I want to be surrounded. Instead, I'm dumb-founded. I don't know how you feel. I don't understand the deal. I'll accept the crumbs that I get. Even change my entire mindset. Because I hunger so much. For just one touch. Like a lonely river, I meet the sea. That is where I want to be. Wait for me; someday. There'll be no grey. I'll be coming home. Wait for my return. God speed your love only to me. Reciprocate and you won't be lonely. You are my melody. The one I sing breathlessly. Time has not spared. So much that makes me scared. What can I say darling! Apart, I've been suffering. It's been a long, lonely time. Can I begin to call you mine? My unchained melody. Full of complexity! Are you still mine? Or would that be out of line?

Lyrics of Unchained Melody
Woah, my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch A long, lonely time And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine? I need your love I need your love God speed your love to me Lonely rivers flow To the sea, to the sea To the open arms of the sea, yeah Lonely rivers sigh "Wait for me, wait for me" I'll be coming home, wait for me Woah, my love, my darling I've hungered, hungered for your touch A long, lonely time And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine? I need your love I need your love God speed your love to me

So let it be song;
And let it be dance.
Let’s all breathe long;
And take a chance.
Because living like a ghost.
Is like waiting to toast.
When the banquet and wine.
Is breathing in precious time.
Btw, 1989 huh? Lovely couple indeed

“Inhaling Peace Exhaling Love” Dear Poetess
Rue These Words CaMe From You Now They
Are Part of my Oral Tradition to Both Inhale Peace
And Exhale Love For What i Understand A “UniVeRsAL
Christ” As Metaphor to Mean For All As Peace Creates Love
UNiVeRSaL Prayer
Beyond All
Words
With No
Fear Within
No Inertia
No Restraints
Freeing No Different
Really Than The Calm
Center EYe of A Hurricane
Or A Black Hole Sun Creates
Winds to Redistribute Ocean Warmth
To The Circle of Life More As Surely Arms
Of Our Milky Way Does the Same In Close
Enough to A Golden Spiral For All To Come to Loving Life Now
SMiLes You Are Surely A Stellar Pretty Indian Woman And Surely About
Young Enough to Be Katrina’s Daughter From That Year You Reverberate
Any Father Proud to Have A Daughter Like You A Zillion Times Over A Beautiful
Soul You Are And Surely A Soul Sister With me Beyond All Measure A FRiEnD…
A Bishop The Head PR Guy of the Catholic Church Friended me on FaceBook Attempting
to ‘Save my Soul’ He Asked me if i prayed i told Him Always He Asked me How my
Relationship With God is i told Him Every Breath i Inhale Peace Exhale Love And
Sadly He Could
Not Understand
Dear Rue’s
Metaphor
He Told me
i Was Struggling
And ‘The Devil’ Was
Trying to Stop me Then
He Fortune Told me that
All My Troubles Will End
By the End of August And God
Has Blessings Beyond my iMagination
For me That Much He Got Correct Rue

Humanity before Religion always.
Jesus preached mostly on love and faith, I believe.
Inhaling peace and exhaling love is a beautiful way to practise it in my opinion. 🙂 🙂
