Having a romantic thought is very healthy as long as your fixation is not on a married person or the orgy of a party.
Having romantic thoughts will boost your state of mind.


Most people on Nairaland mistake Romance for only relationships. But romance means more than relationships.
Being romantic means more than dating and mating.
While I am alone in my bedroom, I am thinking of how the people in Bangladesh are faring and wishing good thoughts for them.

As an artist and a poet, I celebrate the romance of life, the romance of nature, the romance of our existence.
Beauty inspires me and love elates me.
A walk at the beach and appreciating the scenery is very romantic.
Looking at the sunrise or sunset is very romantic.

Panting after a pretty and sexy woman is not romantic, but pathetic, because anything that makes you sweat is not romantic.
A romantic thought and romantic act will reduce stress at home and at work.
Most of my mates in age look like they about to retire, but I look ten years younger and I have the energy of those who are ten years younger than me.
No stress. Relax more and have good wishes for others.

Listening to good Jazz or classical music in your bedroom is very romantic.

When you say I am a romatic poet, most people jump to the conclusion that you write love poems.
How many love poems did the great Romantic Poets write?
Go and read William Blake, Lord Byron, William Wordsworth, Samuel Coleridge, Percy B. Shelley, John Keats, Matthew Arnold,  John Clare and others.

First it is a waste of time discussing romance with an intellectual illiterate.
Most of what I am reading on this board is not romance, but exhibitions of the animal instinct for warmth, mating and breeding.

Romance means more than "How do I talk to a girl?" or "I love Angelina" carnal thoughts mistaken and misinterpreted as romance.   

Hello!
The dialectics of romance is based on the dialectics of life.
Note that:

One--Every thing (every object and every process) is made of opposing forces/opposing sides.

Two--Gradual changes lead to turning points, where one opposite overcomes the other.

Three--Change moves in spirals, not circles.

Taking a walk with a toddler in the garden and talking about the sunflowers or roses is more of romance than luring a woman into a garden and smooching her.

The misunderstanding of romance is common these days, because we are living in interesting times when psychedelic pop culture is the order of the day.

What most women want in their own perception of romance is to be loved by a man and to them being loved means having sex.

If you spend days with your girlfriend and simply reading and listening to the audio tapes of Percy Bysshe Shelley' "Prometheus Unbound" or Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", and you leave without having sex, I bet you that she would hiss and tell her fellow intellectual illiterates that you were not romantic.

When I tell my beloved I love her, she knows fully well what I mean is not the smooching and shagging   but the appreciation of who she is and the beauty of her innate nature.

Romance is imperishable, because it is the immortal essence of existence.
It is life after life.

Admiring a pregnant African woman with a toddler by her side is very romantic.
Childbirth is very romantic.
Seeing village kids with pots on their heads going and returning from the stream is as romantic as seeing the village maidens doing the same thing.
Life is romance and romance is life.

True romance is not another carnal relationship with the opposite sex, but the love for life in nature, for the love for nature is the truest form of romance in our existence.

In fact, romance is more spiritual than being physical.

Saying a prayer for peace is as romantic as saying a prayer for your sweetheart.

quite educational but too long.

Nawa o this story too long nah. I no even fit read am finsh

Kudos to u dude,

U piece is realy an eye opener, a very differnt view 4rm wot is predominate,

guess, i feel ur pieceeeee,

@Post,
Oriki, this is more than nice, this is more than excellent, this is an inspired message from the depths of places where no mind has the breadth of imagination to reach. My hats off to you! I almost want to say you are writing about Negro's romances :-)

Its not uncommon for me to tell a strange woman how beautiful she look, or how nice her dress look, or how I like her hairdo. By her coming out beautifully dressed she is sharing with me an aesthetic value that in itself enriches my soul to behold upon. Our senses are irritated by ugliness; so is our soul. So I must return the kindness by uttering from my tongue words of aesthetic balance that pleases her sense and soul. She is encouraged, she feels empowered to transmit her feminism, which is a wave, a radiance of pure magnetic power. My action is not flirting, its admiration for the best of the best in all of God's creations on earth.

My recommendation to Seun and the moderators will be to lock your piece in as a preamble at the entrance to this Romance section.

Women pay attention to Oriki, that's the kind of man you want by your side.

I wish there were more men like Orikinla Osinachi.

@ poster,

Kindly post d link to your site. thanks

I have a policy not to link to any of my sites from Nairaland or Naijarules, because I have been falsely accused of looking for traffic when I linked to my sites, so I deleted them and asked the Admin to delete any links to my sites and even asked him to remove my e-mail.

I am here, because I love the lucid posts I read on Nairaland. 
Both the subjective and objective posts are lively, including the YABIS too.

So, how do I get your site now? Do a google search abi? At least give a lead. Haba!!!

They are 37 sites and one Online Cinema

Oriki, are you married or in a promising relationship ? I think TGirl is interested in your works, she is a fan. Reach out to her. TGirl, check his profile if he has a email link, no waste time, hit the guy up abeg!

Now this is more like it.
