A Long Distance Love Affair (13 page)

Writing to you like this is such a special experience for me.  It brings things out and helps me to understand and feel things that I haven’t understood or felt before.  Things come out that even I don’t expect.  I thank you for being willing to be on the receiving end of all this.

I hope you’ve been having a good week and that there wasn’t too much for you to catch up on after your break last week.

I booked my Paris hotel today.  It’s got cast iron balconies and French doors you can open out to the balconies and it’s next to the Picasso Museum and 15 minutes walk from the Latin Quarter.  I’m getting very excited!!

Thinking of you....you fill me so completely

Oh My Divine One!

I just received your text message.  What a lovely thing to say to me.  I am really moved....

Oh you give me such pleasure!!  I treasure your body too and all that you do with it - especially all that you do with it that also involves me!

Oh how you lift me.  I just have to think of you and my spirits soar.  What I find so appealing about you (apart from all you physical attributes which I have listed and praised a million times before but still wish to do so...) is your fresh naturalness.  There's nothing dark and brooding about you. You are lightness itself.  And you are filled with such eagerness which is just lovely to behold and lovely to be around.  It makes me feel very eager for you, not just for your body but also to be in your uplifting presence.

I just adore you

     "And I will make thee beds of roses

      And a thousand fragrant posies;

      If these delights thy mind may move,

      Come lie with me and be my love."

Thank you for your lovely message

My beautiful Chariot

I’m still full of wonderful feelings after your call last night.  You please me so very much.  I think what I find so thrilling is the wonderful experience of coming across someone who I really like from every possible aspect (and I mean REALLY like) and that doesn’t happen very often in life but it’s happened to me with you.  I’m just so thrilled that it has.  There’s such a lovely sense of connection there with a fellow life traveller and it makes me feel so much less alone.

This is what I like about you...(and these are presented not in any particular order – they all contribute to making the complete package divine - )

·
                    
Every aspect of your beautiful physical form (you really are an Adonis to me)

·
                    
Your vigour and eagerness for life and experience

·
                    
Your driven-ness

·
                    
Your ego

·
                    
Your intelligence

·
                    
Your desire for intimacy (this pleases me immensely)

·
                    
Your boyish charm (this is a really lovely aspect of you)

·
                    
Your sense of humour

·
                    
Your joyful eager sexuality

·
                    
Your thoughtfulness

·
                    
The way you apologise when you think you’ve done something wrong

·
                    
That you also give and don’t just take (and that you are generous in your giving)

·
                    
Your directness

·
                    
Your honest dealings with me.

There’s more – much more- but I fear I’ll exhaust the system if I go on.

And I just love what I see in your soul....

It was a truly lovely night. I had a bowl of freesias on my bedside table and the whole room smelt beautiful and you called and said very intimate things to me.  I have been truly blessed with you!

Your as ever adoring one

   "For where thou art,
    There is the world itself.
    And where thou are not -
    Desolation."

Beautiful Dear Heart

I got the job!!  Just had the phone call come through!!  Thank you so much for all your help with this.  I am SO excited. (Almost as excited as I would be if I were in the same room as you....) Oh I'm so grateful for your help with this and just over the moon with delight at coming back to beautiful Queensland.  My family is ecstatic.

Thank you for your lovely emails and your text message last night.  I think you are so lovely and to know that you think of me - well - it just warms my heart!

Glad to hear that things are going well for you up there with your meetings.  I hope KL goes just as well given that you're not too keen on the place.  Hope it's not too hot and sweaty for you (it can't possibly be as hot and sweaty as I am for you and you seem to cope with that in your stride...)

I'm very much looking forward to repaying you with numerous pounds of flesh....

Your adoring Chariette

My beautiful Heart's Delight

Thank you for your lovely call this morning and for remembering my birthday - it meant a lot to me.

Still haven't packed...but I've located my passport and my ticket so all should be well.  I'm getting quite excited now.  Won't be back from overseas until the 12th and then I'll be into the hurly burly of packing up here at home (as well as putting in an appearance at work).  Final date in there is 22nd and I feel 2 feet taller with the weight of the job lifted off my shoulders.

So it's "Fare thee well awhile" my dear heart (this is taken from the most beautiful love poem ever written, one by Robert Burns, and I may just send you more of it some time..you got this bit because you remembered me today...)

You just enchant me.

Chariette

My beautiful Chariot

I'm all packed and ready to go.  Thought I'd put in one last message not knowing when I might get another chance.  My suitcase is too heavy, but being the female I am, I can't decide what to take out again.  I am going to take the laptop on board with me just in case something happens and I can also amuse myself with it while I'm at airport stopovers.  I am taking your boldly given advice and will try to merge with the experience of travel and make the most of it.  You were very bold and vigorous last night...you would have been wonderful in the flesh.

With regard to French men, the only French men I am in love with (or likely to be in love with) are dead ones...Hugo, Pascal, Maupassant, Racine, Renoir, Monet, Manet...so you're safe. And besides there is a certain Brisbane man who is so stunning he eclipses all else in my life.

I am looking very beautiful today.  My hair is washed and bouncy with curls and my face is lit up with excitement.  No doubt I will look in a more wilted state by the time I get to Zurich, but I feel wonderful just now.

I'm wishing I could be with you just now.  My hands are eager to caress you.  My nose is greedy for the smell of you - the sweat of desire...the scent of sexual culmination....my ears are attuned to every mellow tone of your voice.  Oh I want you so much...

I will be looking at all sorts of wonderful things over there, but underneath everything I will be wishing that I could see your beautiful face and smile appear out of the crowd.

“Mine eyes desire you above all things.”

Au revoir mon amour.  Longing for you..

Chariette

Mon Coeur

I’m in Fribourg and had a day away from the conference today and walked all over the place.  I am in a courtyard writing to you.  It has to be one of the most peaceful places I have ever been in...ancient stone steps covered in lichen and mosses leading down to a renaissance rose garden hedged in geometrical patterns with pebble pathways for wandering in.  I feel the most relaxed I have all year. There are the most magnificent buildings everywhere - mostly

churches and monasteries and convents.  Priests walk around everywhere in their flowing robes with rope belts.  You know my thoughts on religion - I need your wise and steady view of the world to lessen my negative reactions here - but I am appreciating the ancient architecture very much despite the religious overtones.  And I love to hear the bells of the cathedrals - they strike every quarter hour.  I suppose this is all automated now but there must have been a time when some poor bastards were on all night bell shifts.  I have not seen a single gendarme in the city since I've been here nor a gendarme car.  I feel very safe here as well.

I went last night to a very French restaurant determined to try something different. The name of the restaurant was 'Pig's Foot' and there were dead animals in the window and guns...  I know all the words for beef, lamb, pork, fish, rabbit,  but there was one word there I didn't know and can't remember now - 'crevaille' I think - so I ordered that just to see what would happen.  I have no idea what it was..maybe deer because it was very dark meat.  It was very tasty but the side dishes were very strange... a mixture of hot grapes, red cabbage with juniper berries and some substance akin to tasteless clag that I couldn't place at all.  The chef hovered around me asking if  'C'ést bon?' and I said it was 'merveilleuse' not knowing the word for - really weird-.  But the wine they served up with it was divine.
