Why Damon, why, why, why so pressing?
The Heart you beg's not worth possessing:
Each Look, each Word, each Smile's affected,
And inward Charms are quite neglected:
Then scorn her, scorn her, foolish Swain,
And sigh no more, no more in vain.

Beauty's worthless, fading, flying;
Who would for Trifles think of dying?
Who for a Face, a Shape, wou'd languish,
And tell the Brooks, and Groves his Anguish,
Till she, till she thinks fit to prize him,
And all, and all beside despise him?

Fix, fix your Thoughts on what's inviting,
On what will never bear the slighting:
Wit and Virtue claim your Duty,
They're much more worth that Gold and Beauty:
To them, to them, your Heart resign,
And you'll no more, no more repine.

Look At Me
& You Will Understand
How I Feel.
Look Deep In My Eyes
& You'll See Your Name Written In My Eyes
Touch Me Heart When You Near Me
& You'll Know How Much I Love You
No Words Can Explain
I Love You More Than You Believe,
You Are My Life,
My Other Half,
The Man That I Want!
Look Around You,
Has Anyone Loved You More Than I Do?
I Don't Think So !
Always Be Happy
Cause Your Smile Is A Source Of Life For Me.
I Breathe When You Breathe.
But Forgive Me
For What I Say.
I Know You Don't Feel Exactly The Same
But Sometimes I Think That I'm
For You Just A Silly Game
That You Played With Once
I'm Sorry For My Feelings
But I Can't Hand It
I Swear I Can't
I Love You!
Come & Tell Me You Hate Me
That There's No Other Chance,
No Fake Hope.
Don't Show Me, But Tell Me.
& Then I Will Leave
I Swear I Will Leave You,
My Endless Pain.
It's Not Your Fault,
I Can't Blame You
It's Me Who Fell In Love With You
Tell Me Your Truth
& You'll Never See Your Name In My Eyes Again,
Cause I'll keep Our Pas t& My Love
In The Bottom Of My Heart
& I'll Be Gone...
But You Have To Remember That
I Truly Loved You
With All My Hear
And Always Will Do
Whatever Happens
No One Can Takes Me Away From This World
Until That Day I will Never Ever Stop
''Loving You''
My problem is that I remember. Some people are lucky enough to forget, they wake up one day and they simply just forget. But i promise that i will always remember. The smell of your cologne, your contagious smile, the scars on your hands, the line across your neck, the scent of cigarettes in your car, the sound of your voice when you say my name. i will remember all these little things and so much more.
And even if i had the choice, i dont think i'd ever want to forget atleast just not yet.
As the sins partied the night away in the country Darkness the sun came rising in the country Tranquility.
"Are you ready to spend all eternity together?" Loyalty asked Love as they stood on their balcony.  "My dear, dear, husband soon to be you already know the answer to the question you ask" said Love.  As Loyalty and Love stood locked in a warming embrace being kissed by the rays of the sun the two share a kiss of their own.
Beep, beep, beep, "Well this is a perfect time for my communicator to beep" said Love.  Love broke her embrace with Loyalty and answered her communicator.  "Hello Faith how are you?" asked Love.  "I'm fine Love and how are you?" answered Faith.  "I'm ready to start this new era in my life" said Love.  "I'm looking over your wedding file.  Are there any last minute changes you want to make?" said Faith.  "No Faith everything's perfect" said Love.  "Lets get going" said Faith.  "I'll be right down.  I have to go Loyalty" said Love.  "Loyalty grabbed Love by her waist and pulled her close.  He whispers in her ear "Are you sure this is what you want?"  "I've wanted you when I first saw you.  Now if you'll excuse me Faith is waiting for me" said Love
When Love exited her house she found Faith hovering in her brand new transporter.  "Wow Faith this is beautiful" said Love.  "Thank you Love.  This is the new Neo 7000.  It was the last one left" said Faith.  Interrupted by her communicator Faith answers her call from Loyalty.  
"Hello Loyalty what do you want?" said Faith.  "Why you have to ask like that Faith?" said Loyalty.  "Just make sure Knowledge have you at the chapel on time.  Now if you'll excuse me I have things to do" said Faith.  "C'mon Faith we don't have time to play with Loyalty" said Love.  Rising higher in the air Faith and Love zoomed away.
As they flew through the sky Faith asked Love about her humanitarian organization S.O.U.L.  "How was your peace keeping mission in the country
Limbo?" asked Faith.  "The citizens there had a lot of raw emotions from war.  There is a big scar dividing the country" said Love.  "Your organization S.O.U.L. has a lot of positive influence.  How long has S.O.U.L. been active in the humanitarian field?" asked Faith.  "Five years" answered Love.  When Faith and Love landed at the chapel Wisdom was waiting for them.

“Completely under the impression she would resume her status outside” he thought..
maybe my own words betrayed me as the knife entered Brutus

Unhinged,
could the mind play a game, it saw the movies but did it Saw 5?

Animals huddled around the man made entry salivating at the idea of another chance,
ravenous they paced hungry for a sole sight  

What could be for dinner?
If an appearance not made would both beings have to consider drastic measures. A voyage? A continental trip to parts unknown? Meeting ghosts are not my style but Anthony Bourdain was surely welcome.

Was that a twitch from the ****,
all beings in the area stood at attention awaiting a response from the opening. Informal gestures and gazing eyes they dampen any doubts of their desires.

“How dare they keep us waiting”
the impatient thoughts arose out of the sandy concrete mixture. Those who knew of the situation stood steadfast and steady — this might be it

No “read” stamp,
hope has begun to dwindle.
I too wished of a different outcome but life demands transitions.

High grace, the dower of queens; and therewithal
Some wood-born wonder’s sweet simplicity;
A glance like water brimming with the sky
Or hyacinth-light where forest-shadows fall;
Such thrilling pallor of cheek as doth enthral
The heart; a mouth whose passionate forms imply
All music and all silence held thereby;
Deep golden locks, her sovereign coronal;
A round reared neck, meet column of Love’s shrine
To cling to when the heart takes sanctuary;
Hands which for ever at Love’s bidding be,
And soft-stirred feet still answering to his sign:—
These are her gifts, as tongue may tell them o’er.
Breathe low her name, my soul; for that means more.
Joven, acérquese acá,
¿Estima usted su pellejo?
Pues escúcheme un consejo,
que me lo agradecerá:
Arroje esa timidez
al cajón de ropa sucia,
y por un poco de argucia
dé usted toda su honradez.
Salude a cualquier pelmazo
de vales, y al saludar,
acostúmbrese a doblar
con frecuencia el espinazo.
Diga usted sin ton ni son,
y mil veces si es preciso,
al feo, que es un Narciso,
y al zopenco, un Salomón;
que el que tenga el juicio leso
o sea mal encarado,
téngalo usted de contado
que no se enoja por eso.
Al torpe déjele hablar,
sus torpezas disimule,
y adule, adule y adule
sin cansarse de adular.
Como algo no le acomode,
chitón y a tragar saliva,
y en el pantano en que viva
arrástrese, aunque se enlode.
Y con que befe al que baje,
y con que al que suba inciense,
el día en que menos piense
será usted un personaje.
