I have sent you my invitation,
the note inscribed on the palm of my hand by the fire of living.
Just stand up quietly and dance with me.
Show me how you follow your deepest desires,
spiraling down into the ache within the ache,
and I will show you how I reach inward and open outward
to feel the kiss of the Mystery, sweet lips on my own, every day.
Don't tell me you want to hold the whole world in your heart.
Show me how you turn away from making another wrong
without abandoning yourself when you are hurt and afraid of being unloved.
Tell me a story of who you are,
and see who I am in the stories of living.
And together we will remember that each of us always has a choice.
Show me you can risk being completely at peace,
truly okay with the way things are right now in this moment,
and again in the next and the next and the next...

People hate poetry because they don't understand it.
Except Shlongy. He understands, he simply must stay in character.

I think she should make you a nice dinner, give you a bj, and then fetch a beer - it'll do wonders to whatever ails her.

Expensive jewellery is not a waste. I would appreciate a piece from Tiffanys simply because I would be flattered he spent hard earned cash on me, that he wanted to buy quality and that it is something - unlike a 12dollar pair of earrings - that could be passed down through the family.
I was bought a very expensive antique ladybird brooch and it is my most treasured possession.

a weekend in Rome kicks the everliving shit outta some stupid jewellry, does it not?

Also not an ungrateful, whiney bitch saying 'jewellery, how boring, what a waste of money'. If a guy chooses to express himself and his feelings with a symbolic, expensive piece of jewellery I wwould graciously accept - not take offence. I take it your dad gave your mom an engagement ring. Well, urgh, SHE needed expensive jewellery too huh?
Really, you go on and on how dumb you are. Not reading my comment properly (just reading what you wanted to hear) has really demonstrated your point. Way to go.
Spending lots of cash on jewelry for your girlfriend is an empty, wasteful way to show you care. It doesn't mean anything, it's just shiny metal. I wouldn't want a present like that. That's just my prerogative--how it makes me dumb or whiny is beyond me. Take a Midol, Princess.
PS. My mom never had a sugar daddy to buy her jewelry, either.

Sac - to be honest, I haven't had much experience of Tiffanys. I just tried to convey that if my guy buys me something expensive (or not) I appreciate the trouble, effort and thought. I think often guys go for expensive things 'cos they are pretty clueless at choosing gifts and misguidedly think more cost = more a grand display of love. I love it when my bloke makes me something - a meal, a card etc. But he never feels that this is enough. The reason I love my antique brooch isn't its cost but the fact he went to alot of trouble to find something that had special meaning to me. And Irish Claddagh jewellery is beautiful.

netimportant - no I do not need my man to spend cash on me to show he cares, the little things he does every day for free show me how much he loves me. I merely said that if he chose to spend alot of money on me I would be flattered. Also not an ungrateful, whiney bitch saying 'jewellery, how boring, what a waste of money'.

This poem still sucks, but in my (admittedly, little, as I'm not married or anything) experience, women tend to appreciate effort much more than they do money.

I'm not saying it isn't nice to have something special to treasure on a rare occasion, and I'm not saying quality has to suffer. I'm saying that the implication that designer *anything* makes us happy is a fucking joke to a lot of women. I do not like Tiffany jewelry because most of what I see has no character whatsoever- "ooh look, a chain bracelet with a heart hanging off!" no thanks. I'll take a nice celtic piece instead, for instance.
My mother handed down her silver Claddagh ring to me, and I've worn it every day for over 20 years. I promise you it didn't cost much, but it means more than anything from Tiffany.
I don't think the discussion was meant to be about jewelry as it is about what shows you care. And to someone who really knows me, they'd know expensive jewelry is not the way to my heart. If it's a matter of 'what costs him good money that might mean something to me,' I'd prefer to travel somewhere with him, or save for a house with him, then have some designer name around my neck.

Tip for Ubermenz:
When the jewelry stops working I've found that just vacuuming the house and doing the laundry is good for some sexual favors. My wife has a picture of me doing housework...she calls it Ladyporn.
It's a good little workout too....;)

One thing about Ubersite that gets on my nerves is that a lot of guys here have stereotypical ideas about women. Sacrilicious is right, expensive jewelry is fucking boring and a waste.

I find Tiffany jewelry exceedingly boring.
I'd take a silver $12 pair of earrings any day. A good poem would trump the earrings.

If you tell me this meant that you back handed the ever living fuck out of her, then I'll come back and +2 this. Otherwise, this sucked.
