Lucky...
You make me smile like I've seldom done before You give me a reason to want more and more... Of you - of us any time - any where It doesn't matter as long as you're there... In your heart and in your soul as much as in mine We have a connection that escapes time... And probably logic as some people would say But it does not matter if we cannot be us today... Or tomorrow for everyone to see because what we share is between you and me... We cannot turn back time to another place when our lives were different and we didn't face... The challenges of being together today... Our obstacles only lead us to find new ways... To share a special moment or steal a little kiss... Something so special that many people miss - Out on for their entire lives Not lucky enough to find That one person who satisfies their body and their mind... We are truly special because we found each other no matter how hard it is to be together... Right now atleast - We will find a way to see each other almost every day... Until the time comes when we are free from our past decisions we will still be... One incredible pair of people who share a special love and friendship too.. Unlike anything most people dream of achieving just once in this life it seems...

Robert Burns Love Poem: A Red, Red Rose Robert Burns, a poor man, an educated man, and a ladies' man, is representative of Scotland, much like whisky, haggis, bagpipes, and kilts. He lived a life shortened by rheumatic heart disease, 1759-1796, but his life journey through poverty, informal education, disappointed love, nationalism, and literary and financial success can be identified by all Scots and common men the world over. Lifes Too Short Time goes by to quickly to hold your feelings inside Especially when their so strong even if they don't abide.. Here And There My eyes opened.

Four Poems: Two for the Devil, Two for Peru Here is some witty poetry (not sure if that is the proper word: witty, but it will do): one poem on the Aztec year 2012, a year that has been in the public's eye quite a lot; one on cloning, and the biblical end time events--which, if I may add seems ripe for the monster events that are said to take place; and two poems dealing with some tradtions of Peru; one imparticular, on vacationing, where not to go; all the makings for some thought.Aztec BabyOn December 25, 2012 AD The Devil had an idea- He'd clone himself In the form of a baby; Called the Antichrist. Eight Poems Out of the eight poems provided here [all previously unpublished], four are Poetic Prose, a few Visionary [what I call Vsionary anyhow], a few Free Verse, and a few with more form and structure, more closely to the Auden style of: stanza, metrical rhythm, and rhyme. In saying that, I do believe all the poems are conveying a rich network of meaning, some of them painfully close bond between pleasure and destruction.
