He is charging

and before that he sent me this poem:
THE KISS

My mouth blooms like a cut.
I've been wronged all year, tedious
nights, nothing but rough elbows in them
and delicate boxes of Kleenex calling crybaby
crybaby , you fool !

Before today my body was useless.
Now it's tearing at its square corners.
It's tearing old Mary's garments off, knot by knot
and see -- Now it's shot full of these electric bolts.
Zing! A resurrection!

Once it was a boat, quite wooden
and with no business, no salt water under it
and in need of some paint. It was no more
than a group of boards. But you hoisted her, rigged her.
She's been elected.

My nerves are turned on. I hear them like
musical instruments. Where there was silence
the drums, the strings are incurably playing. You did this.
Pure genius at work. Darling, the composer has stepped
into fire.



Isn't this all just Taurus speak for: I wanna have hot sex with you? 😉

Probably. "The Kiss" is written by Scorpio Anne Sexton (Pluto dominant).

No matter who wrote it, Taurus', come on... would he be quoting this to her if he were not in love?

Just wanted to give the author credit as her work is worth looking into. She's a great poet, though a little dark. Manic depressive, attempted suicide several times, etc. You can really see the Scorpionic/Plutonic themes of sex, death, rebirth, etc. throughout her writings, and really a lot of taboo subjects:

"She wrote openly about menstruation, abortion, masturbation, incest, adultery, and drug addiction at a time when the proprieties embraced none of these as proper topics for poetry."

Anyway, I didn't' mean to imply that he was deceiving her. In fact, I doubt he would've quoted such a famous American poet, included the title of the poem, or reproduced it fully intact (its obviously written from the female perspective), if that were his intent.

ohohoho! Steamy poem.

I really dig. I'll look into the author. Props TLS for recognizing the poem!

I'm clearly psychic. That night he told me he loved me 🙂
But I'm not quite ready to say it back. I want to make sure I fully mean it and can continue to mean it. I just need a bit of time, even though I feel it.


Also Anne Sexton and Neruda are two of my favorite poets...second only to E. E. Cummings

I don't understand this, you said it was bursting from your mouth in your last thread, why didn't you tell him back once he felt secure enough to tell it - don't make a mistake and de-stabilise the bull.

Good catch. And to be perfectly honest, I don't understand it completely myself. Something in my gut is telling me to keep it inside, so I'm trusting that. I say it all the time inside, but I guess I just want to make sure I can live and die by my words. I think because he means a lot to me I want to take care to say things I can stand behind forever. When I say it, it's more than just words, it will be a promise. He knows how I feel, but he doesn't/ isn't expecting anything back..so it's not creating a distance between us. He's patient so when the time is right on my end, it will come to pass. I'm a little scared. I'm not sure why. I think I'm just trying to balance everything.

Of course, we just got into an altercation, so now this is making me paranoid thinking maybe there's underlying resentment..but I don't think that's the case.

If you love him tell him, if your gut is telling you something else then analyse whether you really love him or not - . Cause I'm thinking he's feeling that right now, He is patient as he's a Taurus - but if he has arrived at a place (such as this) they really can lose their patience. If he has told you that he loves you (having taken the time to make sure he was secure about you - which BTW from something you said in a previous post struck me that he was feeling a bit insecure about you) and you haven't told him what he thought was real then he is feeling shaken - and his patience won't last too long, actually hardly at all. He needs to be on solid ground and it has probably just shifted sideways for him. BTW i'm a Leo with a Taurus man too, they really do need to hear those words, especially at the beginning when they have professed it, it's like a reassurance to them.

Uh Oh 🙂 What was the altercation about? BTW Taurus are fabulous for keeping a mental what I have done/said for you diary - and it's contents are never forgotten, bless 🙂

He remembers stuff, but doesn't hide it. And I have a nose for sniffing it out. So those two combined, usually make for everything out on the table.

As soon as i read the title to your other thread i thought about this one. I dont understand the point of holding the words close, especially if you feel them. Here he is charging, for good reason Im.sure he thought, and maybe he now feels a bit mislead? Or thrown off himself wondering if the two of you are on the same page.

Idk...im not a male taurus, but i personally think your other thread ties directly to this.

I'm in agreement, i think this is a reaction to him telling you he loves you and you not responding - I think he was feeling secure enough about you to say it and now he's not trusting what he felt or what he thought you feel,, how long are you with this bull? They need security and stability like we need air.

Ahhh makes sense now. ( other thread) If u love him now say it! Cuz now is what matter forever no one knows if ull even live that long. Someone mentioned here don't destabilize the bull by holding back don't assume he doesn't need to hear it.

absolutely. And to make him more insecure, after you fought he told you he loved you again, and again you didn't reassure him - that's what he was looking for right there - stop being so typically Leo and not wanting what you went after all along - bad Lioness, loving the chase, tut tut... this is one shaken bull you have on your hands here.

It's not the leo in me that's feeling this, it's my libra bits. I'm just trying to balance things. And I'm not saying it till I feel ready and right. I want him. So you don't understand. But he was shaken yesterday. I just don't think it happened to do much with me, however it bled into our union.

He told me in a heated moment, when I am pissed and he's already walking away onto the train. That was not the moment I wanted to brand with my first I love you. If he really loves me then he wouldn't be so easily shaken and will be patient with me as I have been with him. I trust my instincts above all things. If he asked me if I loved him I would say yes, but I'm not ready for the statement yet.


We have been caring for each other as friends for a year, with an underlying crush, but a really special friendship. He moved so that would be the reason we didn't link up initially. As per dating dating it's been about 3 months. I know him well, but we are learning each other and ourselves intimately now. I believe our connection is strong enough. And his words were so reassuring, "This is just a little thing. I believe we will get through this." So do I. I'm just not sure how/when. And we both need some space to reflect. I will make sure to see him before I go out of town. Will probably call him tonight if I'm feeling calm/peaceful.

Anyways thank you for everyone for taking time to go between both threads. I appreciate it 🙂

Lol, if you love him it will always feel ready and right, if you loved him it would feel even more ready and right when you see that he NEEDS to hear it from you - but you're not seeing it, your leo placements (feck the libra) want the big stage show to declare your love, so when he needed it the most it didn't suit you to give it, try thinking about what your man needs here while you still have him.

Lol, if you love him it will always feel ready and right.

That's just not true. You're going a little off base there. Some people take time to warm up. I'd be one of these. As if you know 'when he needed it the most'
More dxp drama. zzz He will tell me what he needs.

2 things:
I decided I'm going to tell him this week.


I also figured out why I'm afraid to say it:
I'm afraid I will be taken for granted. As if he 'has me' and so he doesn't need to care for me anymore.
That's my worst fear, and it's my own, has little to do with him as an individual.
