Legend

A very long time ago,when the world was very young,
wild and wonderful creatures roamed free.
The most beautiful of all was the Unicorn.
Constantly sought for the supposed magical powers of its horn,
the Unicorn was not easily captured.
Although it was kind and gentle of spirit,
it was also extremely quick, graceful and sure of foot.
Which frustrated even those most experienced in their capture.
But there was one sure way to capture a Unicorn.
That was with the help of an innocent maiden.
For the guileless creature was attracted by purity and would
come trustingly forward to rest its head in the maidens' lap.
It was in this way that the defenseless and
unwary creature would be taken.
Relaxed and off its feet it would be quietly
surrounded and quickly netted.
And soon there were no more.
Oh how the world now mourns the loss of this magical being.
Now that it's too late we miss its beauty.

Let Me count

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need; by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath.
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Let Me Give

Let me give you my hand;
May it ever be there for you.
Let me give you my shoulder;
May it always comfort you.
Let me give you my arms;
May they only hold you.
Let me give you my heart;
May it only love you.

Let Our Love

Let our love
Be authentic and sincere,
Be noble and understanding
Be the only truth
That guides us.
Let our love
Be what illuminates us,
Let us not accept strange lights,
vThat honesty and confidence may always reign,
In our path.
Let our love
Follow its way,because perhaps,
Tomorrow we will find a reason
Of why we arrived late
To our appointment with destiny.
Let me love you even though the
distance is great,
I know,that our love is pure and sincere
Let me dream that from our love,
There were fruits,and that you
Left footprints in my innermost being.

Life

Once in a while you meet someone,
And soon you both discover
The two of you are truely something
Special to each other...
You share your thoughts
And feelings so relaxed, so openly,
And right away you know
Your friendship's truely meant to be.
Life isn't about keeping score.
It's not about how many friends you have
Or how accepted you are.
Not about if you have plans this weekend or if your alone.
It isn't about who you are dating,
Who you used to date, how many people you've dated,
vOr if you haven't been with anyone at all.
It isn't about who you've kissed,
It's not about sex.
It isn't about who your family is or how much money they have.
vOr what kind of car you drive.
Or where you are sent to school.
It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are.
Or what clothes you wear,what shoes you have on.
Or what kind of music you listen to.
It's not if your hair is blonde,red,black,or brown.
Or if your skin is too light or too dark.
Not about what grades you get,how smart you are,
How smart everybody else thinks you are,
Or how smart standardized tests say you are.
It's not about what clubs you're in.
Or how you good are at "your" sport.
It's not about representing your whole being
On a piece of paper and who will "accept the written you."

LIFE JUST ISN'T

But,life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully.
It's about keeping or betraying trust.
It's about friendship,used as a sanctity or a weapon.
It's about what you say and mean,maybe hurtful,maybe heartening.
About starting rumors and contibuting to petty gossip.
It's about what judgments you pass and why.
And who your judgments are spread to.
Its about who youve ignored with full control and intention.
It's about jealousy,fear,ignorance,and revenge.
It's about carrying inner hate and love,
Letting it grow,and spreading it.
But most of all it's about using your life to touch
or poison other peoples hearts
In such a way that could have never occured alone.
Only you choose the way those hearts are affected,
And those choices are what life's all about.

Lots Of Hugs

There are hugs that say I like you
and I hold your friendship dear.
There are hugs that say "good going"
you deserve a great big cheer.
There are hugs that say goodbye,
good luck in all that lies ahead.
There are hugs that say I love you
when no other words are said.
There are hugs that soothe and say
to us you're free from cares and harms.
The kind of hug we feel when God holds
us within His arms.

Love's Music

The room was dark
Filled with smoke
At a table alone
Two people sat and spoke.
He asked her to dance
vWhen the music was slow
He held out his hand
He pulled her close.
The music swirled
Inside her head
She closed her eyes
She breathed him in.
No words were uttered
No,not a sound.
Yet thoughts were spoken
You could hear them---Loud.
Heart to heart
Beat for beat
Two people bound
By music sweet.

Love You

I love you
Not for what I want you to be
But for what you are
I loved you then
For what you were
For what you have become

Loving You Forever

It seems as if
I've loved you forever.
Maybe I have.
Maybe we met
In some other time
Where our lives touched
This closely before...
All I know for sure
Is this certainty inside me...
That we are
Meant for each other-
Now and Always. ~
