You know the silence that starts at dawn.
That's where I will always hold our love.

You know the laughter, waves make, hitting the shore.
That's where I will always treasure our joys.

You know the song, the wind sings among the trees.
That's where I will always place our journeys.

You know the tears the river sheds to the sea.
That's where I will always leave our troubles.

You know where the day says hello to the night.
That's where I will always embrace our love.

You know the sparkle you see in my eyes.
That's where I will always show 'I love you.'


*Heart*Love is in the air. *Bigsmile*
For those of us looking forward to this Valetines Day.
Have a Happy Valentines.

Stormy



Love and Friendship
by Emily Bronte

Love is like the wild rose-briar,
Friendship like the holly-tree—
The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms
But which will bloom most constantly?

The wild-rose briar is sweet in the spring,
Its summer blossoms scent the air;
Yet wait till winter comes again
And who will call the wild-briar fair?

Then scorn the silly rose-wreath now
And deck thee with the holly's sheen,
That when December blights thy brow
He may still leave thy garland green.


Who Ever Loved, That Loved Not at First Sight?
by Christopher Marlowe poem

It lies not in our power to love or hate,
For will in us is overruled by fate.
When two are stripped, long ere the course begin,
We wish that one should love, the other win;
And one especially do we affect
Of two gold ingots, like in each respect:
The reason no man knows, let it suffice,
What we behold is censured by our eyes.
Where both deliberate, the love is slight:
Who ever loved, that loved not at first sight?


How Do I Love Thee?
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.


Thou blind fool love
Sonnet 137
by William Shakespeare

Thou blind fool, Love, what dost thou to mine eyes
That they behold and see not what they see?
They know what beauty is, see where it lies,
Yet what the best is, take the worst to be.
If eyes corrupt by overpartial looks,
Be anchored in the bay where all men ride,
Why of eyes' falsehood hast thou forgèd hooks,
Whereto the judgment of my heart is tied?
Why should my heart think that a several plot
Which my heart knows the wide world's common place?
Or mine eyes seeing this, say this is not
To put fair truth upon so foul a face?
In things right true my heart and eyes have erred,
And to this false plague are they now transferred.



Thank you all!

My Life – Our Future

What happened to my life?
My love, my goals and dreams.
My world revolves around you now,
but, it seems that you long for another.

I think of us, trying to fulfill our dreams,
living for the promise of a beautiful tomorrow.
I am the woman I am today,
because, my past has made me stronger.

I could only see you in my future,
one that we should be exploring together.
Should I regret the chances that blew by
should I have been looking for another?

What have I done to my life?
Have I lost sight of my love, goals and dreams?
My world shouldn’t revolve around you now,
because, you are exploring others lives.

You always promise that you can be true,
but, you have broken my heart again.
Your eyes reflect the love I’ve given,
yet, I continue to live through the lies.

Trying only to move forward,
and put the heartbreak of yesterday behind.
I listen to the ticking of the clock,
as time moves ever so slowly by.

Should I forgive the constant indiscretions?
Can you keep your new promise?
Or will you become cleverer,
and hide your secret rendezvous away?

Can you be true, and mend this broken heart?
Can you rebuild my trust and our beautiful future!
Do I leave with one final heart break,
or do I stay and let you slowly chip it away?

What should I do with my life?
Live for my love, my goals and dreams.
My world revolves around my decision,
should I go or should I stay?

Wrenched free
from the perverted anguish
of yesterday,
I tread
warily on angled rock,
not knowing
the promise of tomorrow –
or you.

The wind blew chances
my way;
in my infinite grief,
they passed,
trodden by my relentlessly,
tormented soul.

Now I see you –
unabashedly garnering
little slivers of hope,
placing them
woefully at my feet,
like the
sacrifices that they are.

I stop
to reflect on time,
deciding that
the endless ticking is,
indeed, enough.
Allowing myself
to capture a glimmer
of hope,
I fall into you.
