Closer

It won't do
to dream of caramel,
to think of cinnamon,
and long for you….I know the way these things begin…

Song from the movie - Closer. A very bold and audacious one. Lines of the song come around Julia Roberts and Jude Law in the story... creates a melting. You Tube has the sound track for those interested. Sparks between two stones light a fire strong to burn down a forest. The story unfolds when Natalie Portman looks at Jude Law and utters her first words - "Hello Stranger". Toying between 4 mature adults sweep them all away- and throughout, the heart rules over the mind. That spices up their relationships. The Caramel song reminds me of what we wish for, what we yearn for and what we seek. Three different things- many desires, all don’t come together. And this indecisiveness costs, and hurts. "Desire is a stranger you think you know"- is one of the taglines I liked. Its never safe playing with fire- isn’t it? Passion bolts down the soul when it gets overboard and sails beyond the fence. The wilderness is exhilarating and sublime- too strong and vaporizes the soul, eventually a mirage.

Love is healing. Evasive and elusive, not easily touchable. But an oasis to the vanishing soul. The journey is timeless- but defies all existence and surpasses everything when the search is over and the treasure in hands. Its one thing to end the search but sustaining hope during the search counts- delays occur and cancellations come on way. It’s seems like chasing the wind- but I hope not. Years of toil and labor of love can crumble down to bits...but the years dont hold a meaning without the search, yet tears fill the search- and sometimes just love isn’t enough. Towards the end Natalie mentions– “Why isn’t just love enough?” The song of the story appears to reflect her role and here is a portion of it- a potion....

AND SO IT IS
just like u said
it would be

Life goes easy on me
most- of the time

And so it is...shorter story
No love no glory
No hero in her sky

I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes...
