music sharing: For Aurilion - 6 Month Anniversary Mix
For a while I was sharing 22 of my five-star favorite songs on the 22nd of each month, but then my life got way too busy and then I lost all my ratings (hopefully not forever, but they're on a harddrive I have no access to...). I was going by artist collections, but this month I'm doing something quite different.
Today is my 6-month anniversary with Aurilion! *beams* I can't believe it has been half a year already! It seems like such a dream. I'm so honored and so very in love ♥ Aurilion inspires speaking-in-music -- ze is such poetry simple words are not enough. Each of these songs is dedicated to zir... a blazing weave of melody and murmurs.

Deep And Strong -- Dream Art Science**
Here we are together
So in love with each other
Everything is precious and new
And we can do
anything we want to do
Let your love grow deep and strong
Like the roots of the oak tree
Let it be everything it can be
Let it spread far and wide and all around
Let it reach deep inside, into the ground
No lightning or thunder
Can tear us asunder
This life on Earth can be so fine
We keep growing all the time
We’ll hold firm, weather any storm
Believing in each other
Will keep our love from harm
As above, so below.
We’ll go as far as we have to go
Like roots seeking water.
Like the lonely heart searching for its lover,
We’ll take strength from down under
Let it grow.
Let it grow.
Let it grow.
When we were first separated by circumstance, I came across this song and it reminded me so startlingly of Aurilion that I had to send it to zir, even though we weren't in contact and I didn't know how ze would take it. It was healing to zir spirit at that tempestuous time, and still, it speaks so much to both of us... it tells our story.

So Precious -- Jamie Blake**
You're exciting me
You're inviting me
You're so precious
You're enticing me
You're inciting me
You're so precious
Let me tell you all about myself
I can see you're afraid
It´s not unusual to feel this way
In this world young and brave
Don't you know
You should express yourself
Show me how you are made
If you ever need, relay your fears
It might be you who you save

Black & Gold -- Sam Sparro**
i'm looking for a reason why
you even set my world into motion
'cause if you're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
now i'm filled to the top with fear
but it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here
then i don't want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold
i looked up into the night sky
and see a thousand eyes staring back
and all around these golden beacons
i see nothing but black
i feel a way of something beyond them
i don't see what i can feel
if vision is the only validation
then most of my life isn't real
one of the things I value so deeply about Aurilion is zir faith, and how ze inspires me to live more trustingly, more intuitively. I'm amazed over and over again...

Amber -- 311**
amber is the color of your energy
shades of gold displayed naturally
You ought to know what brings me here
You glide through my head blind to fear
And I know why
You live too far away
Your voice rings like a bell anyway
Don't give up your independence
Nothing good comes easily
Sometimes you gotta fight
Launched a thousand ships in my heart
So easy, still it's fine from afar
I see Aurilion's spirit as amber-gold-honey (you'll see those colors repeated in these songs)... and yes, ze lives far too far away, but zir voice reaches out to me and connects us.

Falling -- Olive**
Slower than the sun goes down
Softer than the autumn rain
Surer than the earth is round
Gentle as the morning breeze
Warm enough to sleep and dream
There is no doubt in my mind
I’m falling, (in love), I’m falling, (in love)
Leaves that are falling around me
Make sense to me, a reality
Leaves that are falling surround me
Make all this seem, a reality
Clearer than the morning light
Darker than the deepest night
There is no doubt in my mind
I’m falling, (in love), I’m falling, (in love)
-
Sea of Possibility -- Noe Venable**
the window open you came in
to light the temple in my head
with you I want to taste this freedom
with you remember life's divinity
but without you this love I take with me
into the sea of possibility
I woke up inside a dream
where dirty things were coming clean
and I chose life and you chose me
I thought last night that I could finally see
waves as far as I can see
a thousand horses rise in me
I'm tapping out the rhythm of your poetry
a thousand horses rising up
the ocean comes to fill my cup
today is the beginning of the death of me
-
Just Been Born -- Heather Nova**
My heart opened, like an oyster shell
I drank salt water, from your lips
And just below the equator
I swallowed the pearl
And I feel, and I feel, and I feel like I've just been born
And the sea rolled in
And rose around us
Your face above me
Darkening the stars
And as the waves are breaking out along the reef
I dived for your heart
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Aurilion taught me (and continues to teach me) so much about living with an open heart.
-
Warm Whispers -- Missy Higgins**
Your warm whispers
Out of the dark they carry my heart
Your warm whispers
Into the dawn they carry me through
And I'm weeping warm honey and milk
That you stay surrounding me, surrounding me
Your warm whispers
Letting me drown in a pool of you
Your warm whispers
Keeping the noise from breaking through
-
I Love You Always Forever -- Donna Lewis**
Feels like I'm standing in a timeless dream
Of light mists of pale amber rose
Feels like I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent
Touching, discovering you
Those days of warm rains come rushing back to me
Miles of windless summer night air
Secret moments shared in the heat of the afternoon
Out of the stillness, soft spoken words
I love you, always forever
Near and far, closer together
Everywhere, I will be with you
Everything, I will do for you
You've got the most unbelievable
blue eyes I've ever seen
You've got me almost melting away
As we lay there, under a blue sky
with pure white stars
Exotic sweetness, a magical time
Say you'll love, love me forever
Never stop, not for whatever
Near and far and always and
everywhere and everything
Aurilion's eyes are hypnotically beautiful... so unique in shape and color (shifting green-grey-blue), so glowing with zir essence... Looking into them is like stepping into another world. All eyes are beautiful and fascinating but Aurilion is so open that the connection of eye contact is much stronger than usual. I could gaze into them forever...

Love & Affection**
Nobody could ever love you
’cos you were never within easy reach
But when I set my eyes on you I knew that you were the one for me
And I was never shy, too shy, with you baby
I just took my time to get close to you
Reached inside to open your heart face to face
I just can’t wait for you to
Kiss me baby drown me with your affection
Touch me wrap me up in your arms
’cos you really move me
I’ve never felt such emotion
Never needed to to cherish someone
But now I’ve found you
I think you feel it too
Let me show you heaven on earth
And I will always be your guide to perfection
Doubt no more
You gotta let love take a hold
And let me take your hand, and let me lead you into my garden of love
There's so much of me that was unreachable by anyone but zir, and so much of zir that only I could reach. We've blossomed together in such a beautiful way...

Insatiable -- Darren Hayes**
when moonlight crawls along the street
chasing away the summer heat
the world revolves i let it go
we build our church above the streets
we practice love between these sheets
the candy sweetness scent of you
it bathes my skin
i'm stained in you
and all i have to do is hold you
there's a racing within my heart
and i am barely touching you
turn the lights down low
take it off let me show
my love for you insatiable
turn me on never stop
wanna taste every drop
my love for you insatiable
the moonlight plays upon your skin
a kiss that lingers, takes me in
there are no words there's only truth
breathe in breath out there is no sound
we move together up and down
we levitate our bodies soar
our feet dont even touch the floor
and nobody knows you like i do
cause the world they don't understand
but i grow stronger in your hands
we never sleep we're always holding hands
kissing for hours, talking, making plans
can't close my eyes when i'm with you
insatiable, the way i'm loving you
when I look in your eyes, insatiable
-
Stolen -- Dashboard Confessional**
We watch the season pull up its own stakes
And catch the last weekend of the last week
Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced,
Another sun soaked season fades away
You have stolen my heart
You have stolen my heart
I watch you spin around
You are the best one, of the best ones
We all look like we feel
-
Dreaming My Dreams -- The Cranberries**
All the things you said to me today
changed my perspective in every way
these things come to mean
so much to me
If you want me, I’ll be here
I’ll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there’s no other place that I’d lay down my face
I’ll be dreaming my dreams with you
-
Lovely -- Michelle Tumes**
You're the sweet dreams that soothe me
When I can't fall asleep
You're the field in the middle of the city
When I'm rushing by at the speed of light
You're the strong resolution when I find no peace
You're the church bells ringing in the evening
Ooh You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe
A thousand times I look around me and I find
Ooh You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe
A million words could not explain
You're lovely
You're the soft words that touch me
When I just can't speak
You're the breeze on the ocean in the morning
Reminding me to greet the day
You're the flowers I remember seeing in Italy
Colors through a golden haze
Bright and radiant, soft and fragrant
In the noon day sun, it makes me sing
-
Morning Star -- Flunk**
You are my morning Star
it´s just the way you are
when the orange sky
kiss the night goodbye
It´s not the way you move
It´s not the way you walk
It´s just the way you are
Oh you're my morning star
-
Honeythief -- Halou**
Sometimes I doubt the path I chose
Sometimes my dreams feel all on hold
There's no doubt that this will make me strong
Because it's the hardest thing I've ever done
Despite this cruel world
And all my best efforts
You surprise me with just how perfect you are
And when I'm lost
You search for me
And when I doubt
You're my belief
I'm suppose to be
The stronger one
You always seem
To prove that theory wrong
Still, I hold my breath each time you go
Out in the world that's beyond my control
If you are dreaming
I never want to wake you up
-
Sacrifice -- t.A.T.u.**
Can you tell me, softly
How you'll always haunt me
Can you help me, hold me
Come to me now, slowly
You caress me, smoothly
Calm my fears and soothe me
Move your hands across me
Take my worries from me
Can you feel me, solely
Deeper still and wholly
With your understanding
And your arms around me
Can you help me, hold me
Whisper to me, softly
-
Beautiful -- The Echoing Green**
She mends the daybreak
She takes the heartache so far
When she's laughing
I can't help gravitate to her side
She moves like water touching silver
And she remembers
Grey days - skies of cloud and thunder
It's beautiful to her
Do you ever wanna look at the sun
Do you ever wanna see it in someone
Or feel it somewhere?
Just a glimpse of an unfettered moment
Reflecting off her hair
I'm crying and she is laughing
Her joy is slowly tapping into me
So heavenly
The stars all around her
My heart beating louder
There's something about her
That makes me smile
The way Aurilion moves is grace incarnate -- the swaying of branches in the wind, the pouring of water over a fall...
-
I Want You -- Rachael Yamagata**
You sat down next to me, like poetry to wine
Out window looked upon a yellow neon sign
I took your hand while you decided what to do
The only kiss, I ever miss, I shared with you
I want you
No one else will do
No one is the only one
To fill the empty space I hold for you
I want you
No one else for me
'Cause no one else is strong enough, strong enough
To slow me down in time to set me free
I want you
No one else is fine
No one is the only one
To fill me up until I make you mine
There's this impression some people have that being polyamorous means that your lovers are replaceable or interchangeable or something, which COULDN'T be farther from the truth for me. Aurilion fills a place in my heart that no one else could ever ever EVER fill.

Taste You -- Auf der Maur**
Oh my love, oh my love
I can't hear you my love
Tell me where have you gone?
Far away, far away
I can't feel you today
I need healing my love
Appetite running fast
Following my gut
Turning up every rock
You're disappearing my love,
I need louder than this
Please fill me up
Come to me
Plug it in, so I can digest you
I will taste you
My appetite in that hole
Tempt you with it now
I will taste you
Please shake me and tug,
I need shaking my love
Can't you be the one?
I can't fake it my love,
I need filling come on,
I need it louder than bombs
Feel that movement my love?
Pulling up from above
Are you listening love?
My emptiness in a way,
Is tempting,
Guiding you from my gut
I will taste you
I've got a big mouth
Oh my love

Eyes Like Yours -- Shakira**
And now it seems, that I
Without your eyes could never be
My one desire, all I aspire
Is in your eyes forever to live
Traveled all over the seven oceans
There is nothing that I wouldn't give
Came from Bahrein, got to Beirut
Looking for someone comparing to you
Tearing down windows and doors
And I could not find eyes like yours
again, oh the eyes, they slay me
-
Love Of My Life -- Santana Feat. Dave Matthews**
Where you are, that's where I wanna be
Through your eyes are all the things I wanna see
In the night you are my dream, you're everything to me
You're the love of my life and the breath in my prayers
Take my hand and lead me there
What I need is you here
I can't forget the taste of your mouth
From your lips all the heavens pour out
I can't forget when we are one
With you I am free
Everyday, every night, you are the love of my life
oh, *aches* I miss zir... I love zir with my whole being, always and all the time, and ze IS the love of my life. So precious to me.
