HOW HIGH'S THE SKY?

How interesting is it that
We are so quick
To sacrifice our sanity
In the belief that others can
Hold up our sky?

Paper Boats

Everytime I'd think of you
I'd send a memory to the sea
Riding on a paper boat
To somehow bring you back to me

Time and time again
I'd send dozens and dozens more
Till one day I found all my paper boats
Washed up on the shore

While I was sending you paper boats
A storm had settled in
Brewing and stirring the ocean depths
Taking my boats I sent within

My paper boats never reached you
My paper boats came back to me
My memories are now upon the shore
Haunting me endlessly.

loves third eye

Love is not Just the saying of words
But the giving of one self
Love is caring
Love is daring
And most of All
Love is sharing

Love is not to live in fears
Love is not a matter of counting years
But making the years count

Love is
Telling, listening, understanding,
Respecting the truth and never pretending
True love does NOT have a happy ending!
True love does NOT have an ending!

Love.. some say it is blind
But I say
Love gives you a third eye
To make it easy for you to find
Who is worthy

To my wife Sasha we've been married ten years now and for you young people out there who love someone I can tell you this one truth and fact, love isn't just telling the ones we love that we love them. We have to really give our whole selves to that other not just pieces because when we do that it's like showing them we don't care or even love them and love isn't selfish love is giving all ourselves to him or her like I do for my woman Sasha . so for new people who are or aren't with one you love. If you want them fully to see your love we have to show them because I used to just show words well Sasha wasn't happy because that isn't love . sometimes we gotta step out of our comfort Zones that is love

For Whom...?

.
O
•i found truth
in a saying i read•that we
start dying the day we were born
•not from life inflicted wounds from
which we've bled•not from illness or
disease that would have us torn •we
only live and breathe upon borrowed
sand•because we age; because we are
but mortal•it's only up to ourselves to
be mediocre or grand• what we'll be at
the end is consequential• it'll matter not
if we won popularity polls• or what riches
over which we covet and fuss•when asked, "for
whom does the bell toll?"•look in the mirror for it tolls
••••••••
•••••

for no one...
but for us•
