Love
Love hurts
Love harms
Love excites
Love makes my header pound
Love makes my heart break
Love makes me real happy
Love makes me real sad
Love comes in many forms
Friendship
Motherly
Fatherly
Between siblings
Between celebrities and fans
Between a girl and a boy
Between a girl and a girl
Between a boy and a boy
Between a person and their bed
A food
Love is great
Be careful with love
It’s dangerously fantastic

A storm
Is coming

The clouds are bunching, towering, angry
The skies are black, grey and wild
The heavens are gathering their energies
To pronounce a great riot
And I am alive

I am alive

My heart is swirling
Like the winds of nature
As I step out into the world
To realise
That I am part of it

I am one with it

And I will embrace it
This ferocity of nature

And I will stand in the eye of the storm
And scream with my human voice
Life!

Life life life!

I will scream at it
I will scream with it
I will command it

To grow and twist and shatter and advance
To become manifest
To express its deep core
To soar upon the adverse winds
To explode like the crashing of cymbals
To dance a terrifying tarantella
To exist
Now
Powerfully
And shake the earth to its core

And when it is over
We shall be cleansed
We shall be awakened
To our precious soul
And our earth
Our universe
Will soothe us
With gentle love

"valentines"
are crushed
candy hearts
that read;
'not my valentine'.

If English were not adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions et al;
Just words to describe feelings,
Thoughts would pour out like torrents;
All humans would outdo Shakespeare!

As the world seeps in pain

And the wounds blind us

I invite you, O beloved

Let’s meet at the dinner table again

We have a lot to speak

But first, you need to be fed a home-made meal

a history, untold
a mystery to unfold
an eternal search
a perpetual urge
too ethereal to achieve
too surreal to believe
a desire, remaining unfulfilled
an epic, still being quilled
a moment stilled
in the veins, it instilled
O my beloved!
you're a dream too grand to be realised
a scheme, too ambitious to be materialised....

Doing my very best, to keep moving forward here.
Doing my best, not to give up in my struggles here.
Doing my best, not to drown in the self pity attitude.
Doing my best, not to let depression stragle me.
Doing my best, to stand firm and keep over-coming.
Doing my best, to keep having an positive attitude
Doing my best, to keep loving others like Christ does.
Doing my best, to live life the way that God wants me to.
Doing my best, especially since I would rather be in Iowa now.
