We each have a vision of love
what we believe love looks like
whether it is white or red heat
that gets our hearts to beat

There is the fantasy which some hold
that love will arrive in a perfect package
this breaks every realm of reality
only happening in the depths of poetry

And illusions of happily ever after
disregard all of common sense
love is like a clear blue sky
which instantly can turn grey and smoky

If you find love grab hold of it
live in the happiness it brings
share yourself without restrictions
let your mind be free of expectations

The connection
to him is
broader than
I can fathom.
The connection
with him
can't be broken.
It's the
perfection of
two lost souls
looking for
each others fix.
Looking for
happiness.
Searching for
acceptance.
Our differences
secure the bond.
Our need of
one another
ties the knot.

On the last day of another year
I think, I sigh, I shed a tear

So much has come my way
many a beautiful, awe-filled day

All the love I've been given
within this faith I've been livin

All the faces I've greeted
such lovely souls I have meeted

So another year has come to pass
I feel its gains and losses, alas

I thank the blessed year for its glee
it has ended and I feel I'm a better me

A bit wiser and thoughtful; a year older
more informed and a wee bit bolder

Who we try to be
who we want others to see
whispers through our souls

What charms we possess
what leads to our success
wisdom guides the way

When love enters the fold
when life's radiant and bold
will our wonders never end

Where honesty takes you
where loyalty makes true
worry not of the past

Why do we dream with grandeur
why wish for a worthy future
wise have faith and believe!
The 5 W's always wondered at--just a loving tribute to the letter "W"

Wash away all  my grief
Fill my world with belief
Caress away all  my pain
Show me how to love again
Love, Rain down on me
          Rain, rain down on me
Whisper away all  my doubt
Until I can't live without
Cleanse me, from all my past
You'll be the one til the last
Love, Rain down on me
          Rain, rain down on me
Kiss me, let it never end
You're my very best friend
Hold me throughout all our lives
Let's watch how this love survives
Love, Rain down on me
          Rain, rain down on me

Eventually
it will be over

Eventually
it will end

Eventually
it will be gone

Eventually
I will lose

Eventually
I will hurt

Eventually
I will be without

Eventually
I will suffer

Eventually
Eventually

A splash of
vanilla
behind the ear
will make you
smile playfully.
Cinnamon up
your mood today
with a shot of
ginger's juice;
Cayenne up
your pleasure.
Throw some nutmeg
in to boost
the senses.
Take a clove
out for a
spicy treat.
Sometimes we
need to curry up,
so add in
a pinch of
cardamom,
or cumin
it way down.
Have some fun!
We know that
variety
gives much spice,
such fragrance
to our lives!
Having some fun in the kitchen--hope it brought a smile to all your beautiful faces!!
