You came into my life. Taking a piece of my heart. Back when times were slower. Lazy days chasing butterflies. Quiet nights watching fireflies. Summer days standing in waving wheat. Sunflowers welcoming reach. Lightning in the distance. Racing to the barn. Huddled though the storm. Stealing that first kiss. Picking straw from your curls. Walking hand in hand. Two young lovers. Time stood still. Today I walk the same field...
Someone asked “What is Love?” As if the answer would make it real. Love isn’t words or phrases said. It’s just simply what you feel. Lessons in love are painfully clear. There’s no books or homework given. You win, you lose, a prize is claimed. It’s what we call real life livin’. Other words are just as important. Respect, trust, loyalty, and honor. Honesty and fairness come to mind. Without them, love is a goner. A...
What is love? Howard Jones and later, Haddaway asked the same question. I’m not sure if either got any answers but I seem to be asking myself that more and more at the moment. I’m not talking of the love for your parents or children or siblings. I’m referring to the kind of love that makes your heart leap and your fingers tingle, which squeezes you right to the core of your being. That giddiness, those butterflies in your...
Once upon a time, at a temple called Mercy, which was located on a mountaintop, there lived two monks. One was named AWAKEN. The other was named HAZY. At the beginning, they went out for alms every day. Awaken went out alone later on. Hazy found that he only had gone out for a day and could make a lot of alms easily. Then, he used the alms to trade for the daily necessities. Such as the rice and flour… these were enough...
Hold me in your arms So tight My head upon your chest Our heartbeat is one With body heat for warmth We have just begun Time becomes endless Hours seem like minutes That pass one by one Content Our heart grows with pride Knowing we are one I am at home in your arms In your mind and heart Forever my love My soulmate Never standing alone Our time My love
I look into your eyes Your beautiful smiling brown eyes With warmth and promises That touch my soul They sparkle like stars with love They tell me everything is good I can be me without worry You are on my side always I see and feel the love In your beautiful smiling eyes
More often than not I deserved what I got. For shadows are meant to protect. I wandered at times And missed all the signs Too many boxes I neglected to check. The light hurts my eyes The hero always dies A lesson I tend to forget. It’s best in the shadows A life I have chose To suffer from all my regrets. Once bitten you learn Even embers will burn Each wound will leave a mark. Scarred by the knife Branded by li...
So far away the prairies range my loveThe vistasAnd the memoriesAs well We pause our gaze in recognition nowBecause we passed this way once long ago And in a hollow rests the storied barn Its shadows touchedWith dusty sunlit swirls Your hand is resting on my leg my loveYour dreamy eyes are crinkled In a smile As both of us recall our visit hereDown by the scoured channel's mossy damp Just recently the firesWere burning br...
Now and Forever: a love story The dream was back--so were the eyes. They hovered in an angry sky just above the horizon, seeing everything but focusing on nothing. Amy knew those eyes—knew a time when they’d been filled with happiness and a love of life. But that had been before her brother came back from Vietnam. Young, naked, and skinny, she stood alone and vulnerable on a hill surrounded by flames where everything kept...
His feeling for her became more and more just a procedure and an obligation after they had been married for ten years. The passions and the joys were gone long ago. Kazrim had also lost his interest in her. He expected to racket about all night long and hanged out with other women. There came a young and lively girl who has madly attracted to him in the office. He suddenly believed that she was his second chance. He dec...
You saved me, with your touch. You awaken me, with your first kiss. You excite me, with your mind. You drive me, to do and be better. You taught me, to savor life. You scold me, with your dark brown eyes. You bless me, with your love. You love me, as I love you.
Bless you for you have awakened the imp, the brat in me. The small brat that I have hidden away for so, so long. You my love, have taught my soul to dance once again. You know I call you my oxygen, for without you, I surely would be dead by now and without your love I would not be the person I am. From your laughter to the look, that only I know, that melts my heart. Your pure love means the world to me, so yes your lo...
Ever since man looked to the heavens, they have tried to understand the mysteries that surround them. To make sense of the unknown and to label the mysteries. Look to the heavens and you shall see Sirius, the brightest night star. But to me the brightest star is you. Yes for you are my pillar and my celestial guide. My Nephi you became my Angel. When I stumble with my day to day life, I stop during the darkest part of ni...
A very distracted man has a talk with Buddha in a temple one late night. He, ‘Enlightened Buddha, I’m a married man, but I’m frantically falling in love with another woman now. I really don’t know what to do!’ Buddha, ‘Are you sure that woman who you are falling for is the best and the last love in your entire life?’ He, ‘Yes, I’m sure.’ Buddha, ‘You divorce your present wife and marry her, then.’ He, ‘But my wife is a ki...
At the Carolina Coast Hotel, some guests, bewitched by the full moon, still lounged on the lawns in the wee hours. That September weekend was ending. The sweet summer of 2017 was bidding goodbye. Meanwhile, Conn Franklin, a James Dean lookalike, was coming up the beach from his boat, ignoring Stefanie Ryan waving to him. But Conn's friends, Wyatt Graham and Cooper Peterson, were admiring fair-haired Stefanie. “If you like...
