Romantic love is the most misunderstood - emotion in the universe
- It is not set in stone
- but pliable and is able
- to be pulled or pushed
- into any shape imaginable.
- Love at first sight
- is the onslaught rush
- of mating urges at the fore.
- Physical love is indeed,
- very strong and powerful,
- at times too powerful to ignore.
- But after the wonderful sex,
- what is there left?
- Just sleep and nothing more?
- What about the intimacy,
- the love, the caring and the sharing?
- Love is created by those involved
- Each partner must contribute.
- Love is self-created by each of us
- One does not create love for another.
- We create it ourselves.
- Love that is nurtured
- starts slowly and continues to grow,
- can be the strongest of all bonds
- able to withstand any force applied.
- Love can be tender and sweet
- and all things nice,
- it can be like a fairy-tale told.
- We enter into a relationship
- not knowing what we are getting into.
- We rely on each other being honest and truthful.
- Will you love me, as much as I will love you?
- Should be the question that is asked?
- As time passes on,
- the clock has been ticking
- the years are fast catching up
- those around you have got their spouses and families
- and you're wondering where do I fit in?
- Should you compromise your ideals in love
- and settle for something more humble?
- The only way to approach love
- is that : you are willing and keen
- to explore this world of love
- to see what you have in common,
- and that you can see yourself
- loving this person.
- There is no seal of guarantee
- that it will be a success
- and so if it does not work out
- a refund is called for.
- All bets are off
- time to separate
- and call the relationship off.
- One should not be afraid of failing in love
- there is never any guarantee
- and face the facts.
- You may have to go through many relationships
- until you can find the right one,
- that can last and last.
- Quite often it is the case,
- that the effort you put in, is what you get out.
- Your lover will have to match the effort,
- to counter the inbalance
- but it will all be worth it
- to have such love and dedication.
- At long last, love is real
- love is earnest, it is here at last.
- And so enjoy it, for a wonderful life together.
- The years have passed everyone by
- beauty outside has long since gone
- What is there left to carry on?
- The love has lasted between the elderly couple
- with their tender touches and their tender stares
- Their eyes shine brightly at each other
- they are lively and animated within.
- They know in their heart and in their mind that life has been kind
- they have found their companion long ago
- bringing a happiness previously undreamed of in most peoples' lives.
Anti-Violence
- Violence is part of our society
- It is there in many ways
- The kids see it on the TV screens
- in videogames, cartoons and movies.
- The adults accept it too
- in Newspapers, Magazines and TV.
- It is all part of a primitive society.
- Dad does it to Mum
- Anger shown in words or fists
- it is the same
- Tempers vented, Tempers flared
- the result is the same.
- A visit down to casualty
- to the hospital or to the counsellor
- to patch things up, to fix things over.
- How do you stop, a repeat of this insane game
- From happening all over again.
- Violence should not be tolerated in any one's life,
- it is OK in fantasy, but not in real life.
- If you have violent urges that can destroy,
- do take part in non-contact sports to release it.
- Do not let it control you.
- There is no just cause
- that violence glorifies.
- Blood that is splattered
- is never justified.
- Violence and vengance can go on forever
- never healing and ever wounding.
- Peace be with you,
- Peace be inside you
- it is through peace
- that all things will be attainable.
- In this troubled, troubled world of ours
- Peace is the saviour who can save our souls.
- Go in peace, my friend
- with the angels help
- this world can be saved
- and take us into the next golden age.
- When our evolution truly begins.
ME
-
- I contemplate on the mysteries of life
- to better understand this universe, we live in
- to focus upon what is important in life.
- The simple things that makes us happy.
- To be aware of those black holes
- we can easily get pulled into
- which can take a lifetime, to leave behind.
- The three main evils of our modern society
- which has been with us, since time began.
- Are: smoking, drinking and drugs.
- All are drugs that can drown the human spirit, within us
- that may initially take you up, some unseen heights
- only to leave you, living some low life.
- Drug dependency is not a pretty picture to view
- where to stay normal, one needs a drug to live.
- Prevention is always better than the cure,
- the warning should be - do not try this!
- It can ruin your life.
- The other thing to understand, is the power of your mind
- If you look after it, and exercise it well
- you can use it, to do some magical tricks.
- Such as doing that, what the drugs can do.
- Making you feel relaxed, confident, happy, being the real you.
- Let not your mind get rusty, let it not go hungry
- You have talents there, exercise them
- they will only get better, if you make the effort
- to see what you can do well.
- I am humble, honest and wholesome
- there are no dark shadows, behind me.
- I do not take part in anything
- sinister or strange.
- My mind may wander into strange worlds
- and is, the only strange thing, about me.
- I believe in living an ordinary life
- living as safe as can be.
- Vindictiveness is not inside me
- nor any negative qualities,
- such as spite and malice.
- I value the good qualities in life
- such as honesty, truthfulness and punctuality.
- I may be simple to read
- like a book by it's cover
- I hide myself not.
- My life is nothing extraordinary.
- It is a simple
- but fulfilled life I seek.
- There are many blank pages inside me
- waiting to be written.
- By what pen or hand
- I do not know?
- As to the simple things in life
- that will make you happy.
- You know the answers already?
- To be in the company of :
- someone to love,
- someone who cares
- and someone who loves you.
- Makes you healthy, wealthy and wise.
