 The Night Was Made For Romance

The night was made for romance.

In the night our two hearts dance.

Under the stars our lips touch.

In the garden your embrace means so much.

The night was made for love.

Our hearts cooing like a white dove.

Your eyes sparkling like diamonds so white.

I love you darling with all my might.

The night was made for caring and trust.

And darling, God made this night for us. by: Lamar Cole

Beautiful Eyes, Beautiful Face
Beautiful eyes, beautiful face,
I'm shy to talk to you.
You're the eagle I must watch
No matter what I do.

You're the beauty, wild and free,
The mistress of my eyes,
Rolling through exultant air,
Alone in pristine skies.

I would take you for my own
Could I but have your wings,
Could I but go where night begins
And frozen sunlight sings.

Could I but have you for my love,
How might we fly together!
But I must watch you from below
And long for you forever.
But I must be the one below
And long for you forever.

A Special World

A special world for you and me

A special bond one cannot see

It wraps us up in its cocoon

And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold

Gently nestling us to the fold

Like silken thread it holds us fast

Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break

A new one forms in its wake

To bind us closer and keep us strong

In a special world, where we belong.

What I Love About You

I love the way you look at me,

Your eyes so bright and blue.

I love the way you kiss me,

Your lips so soft and smooth.

I love the way you make me so happy,

And the ways you show you care.

I love the way you say, "I Love You,"

And the way you're always there.

I love the way you touch me,

Always sending chills down my spine.

I love that you are with me,

And glad that you are mine.

HISTORY OF VALENTINE'S DAY

Every year, the fourteenth day of the month of February has millions across the world presenting their loved ones with candy, flowers, chocolates and other lovely gifts. In many countries, restaurants and eateries are seen to be filled with couples who are eager to celebrate their relationship and the joy of their togetherness through delicious cuisines. There hardly seems to be a young man or woman who is not keen to make the most of the day.

The modern St. Valentine's Day celebrations are said to have been derived from both ancient Christian and Roman tradition. As per one legend, the holiday has originated from the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalis/Lupercalia, a fertility celebration that used to observed annually on February 15. But the rise of Christianity in Europe saw many pagan holidays being renamed for and dedicated to the early Christian martyrs. Lupercalia was no exception. In 496 AD, Pope Gelasius turned Lupercalia into a Christian feast day and set its observance a day earlier, on February 14. He proclaimed February 14 to be the feast day in honor of Saint Valentine, a Roman martyr who lived in the 3rd century. It is this St. Valentine whom the modern Valentine's Day honors. 

According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, there were at least three early Christian saints by the name of Valentine. While one was a priest in Rome, another was a bishop in Terni. Nothing is known about the third St. Valentine except that he met his end in Africa. Surprisingly, all three of them were said to have been martyred on 14th February. 

By the Middle Ages, Valentine became as popular as to become one of the most popular saints in England and France. Despite attempts by the Christian church to sanctify the holiday, the association of Valentine’s Day with romance and courtship continued through the Middle Ages. The holiday evolved over the centuries. By the 18th century, gift-giving and exchanging hand-made cards on Valentine's Day had become common in England. Hand-made valentine cards made of lace, ribbons, and featuring cupids and hearts began to be created on this day and handed over to the man or woman one loved. 

This tradition eventually spread to the American colonies. It was not until the 1840s that Valentine's Day greeting cards began to be commercially produced in the U.S. The first American Valentine's Day greeting cards were created by Esther A. Howlanda Mount Holyoke, a graduate and native of Worcester. Mass. Howland, known as the Mother of the Valentine, made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as "scrap". It was when Howland began Valentine's cards in a large scale that the tradition really caught on in the United States.

No matters what is the reason to celebrate Valentine's Day, it is second among the largest card-sending holidays celebrated across the world today.

VALENTINE´S DAY IDEAS

Celebrating love is a great idea for a holiday, but I'm not convinced that packed restaurants and overpriced meals are the right way to do it. Try a few of these ideas that can provide all of the romance and memories without the hassles:

Romantic Getaway

Spend the night away from home at a nice hotel in the city or a quaint cottage with a fireplace in the country. Bring candles, massage oil, some interesting bedroom wear, and stay in for the night. Order room service and spend the entire evening relaxing in the jacuzzi, talking, dancing, playing games, and just being 

together in your robes.

Couple's Massage

Get pampered by scheduling a few therapists to come over for a surprise treat or take your date to a day spa for a couple's massage, champagne, and relaxing.

Romantic Theme Night
This is like our normal theme date but it's up to you to give the night a romantic twist. The idea is to have fun transforming your place into a fantasy setting for the night. Maybe you surprise her with dinner in Paris complete with a cardboard Eiffel Tower, French music, berets, and a great French meal followed by a foreign film (a French maid's outfit might be fun too). Or you could go crazy with it and treat him to something like a Heaven and Hell theme where one room is decorated with lots of white balloons and sheets with harps playing, while another (the bedroom) has a red lights and...well, you know. Use your imagination!

Picnic in the Country
Celebrate the day by taking a scenic drive to the country and enjoying a picnic at a romantic lake, meadow, or beach. Put together a mix of your favorite sappy love songs for the drive out and pack a meal using some of our picnic ideas. When you're finished soaking up the view, head home for dessert, wine, and a candlelit bath.

LOVE OR LUST? WHICH IS BETTER-?

Love and relationships are a major part of the human experience. But the people confuse most of the time love with lust, then what is the difference between these two. In which love or romantic attraction for someone elevates our dopamine and serotonin levels, which causes feelings of elation and loss of an appetite. When we get to the point of feeling attachment and more long term phase of love, our bodies generate more oxytocin (known as the "hormone of love". While lust, is a sex drive and an appetite for sex can visit during this process and is generated be increased testosterone levels in both men and women. Heightened levels of testosterone inspire a feeling of focused attention and sexual arousal.

Now you know they are two different things but are joined, but what makes you happy is love...
