I have become rather discouraged as of late in the realm of Love in today’s modern era. I listen to the lyrics of the top hits, or rap, or hip hop, or watch the latest music videos, and it becomes clear that man and woman don’t seem to know about the higher forms of love or at least the naive beautiful idea of those higher forms. Some lyrics I have heard talk about slamming a bitch up against the wall and doing her doggie style embedded in a catchy beat.
There seems to be a premium placed on the guy that can bag as many women as possible, or at the other end of the extreme, the pussy whipped wimp that can’t see past his nose. There are a few sculptures that my brother led me to admire while we were in Europe together that symbolize my ideas of a higher love better than words could ever describe. I have shared a couple of these images here.
I have experienced forms of higher love although I will admit they are fleeting. And I have also explored the depths of the dark barren side of pure lust and whoring which is what the pop culture breeds today. But I was very encouraged to see a young woman post a song that she recently composed that I believe shows the idea of a higher form of love still exists even if it is rare to find. I have posted her lyrics below and the link to her original post (by Evil Nymph).
Verse 1:
A brush of the hand
A push on the shoulder
A quick stolen smile
What’s best to end this day?
Chorus:
No one shall know
If you wish it.
A secret kiss
Before we let go.
Verse 2:
Interlocking fingers
Head on the chest
Your face close to mine
What’s more to dream about?
Chorus:
No one shall know
If you wish it.
A secret kiss
Before we let go.
I’ll catch your arm
You turn around
A secret kiss
Before we go home.
Bridge:
A rainbow over us
We laugh for no reason
Stay silent
And feel our presence
Chorus:
No one shall know
If you wish it.
A secret kiss
Before we let go.
I held your hand
You hold my world.
A secret kiss
