A letter to my love.

I sit here and drown myself in nostalgia

Good times we both had and all the joys we shared

You give me everything I've ever wanted and more and it seems like nothing else matters

Life is more than complete with you and my joy is immeasurable

I fear to love you because the thought of ever having to let go pushes a drill through my chest

But I take the risk... All for you.

And now, I face my biggest fear... Having to watch each passing day and knowing you are very far away

My joy and happiness gradually diminsh and like a burning candle, this light seems to wane.

My heart screams and I search the lonely corridors of my heart for something to hold on to

But it's all to no avail.

My love, My dearest, I'll always cherish you and your aura of goodness stays with me

I know the gravity of my words and I'm not afraid to use them...I love you.

Bitterness

He wandered about the street playing and laughing

A hot summer afternoon with the enegry of the sun so mean

He ran about and screamed for his excitement was immeasurable

His energy was immeasurable as he jumped in and out of the pool

All this uncontrollable play and excitement landed him sick in bed

He lay wit a high temperature and his eyes all swollen and red

His mother came in with medicine to relieve him of his burden

As he sipped the mixture down his throat, he screamed'Oh this is so bitter' for it's depressing taste was so sudden

She spoke back gently telling him how much he knew not much of what he was saying

That taste dwelt in the abode of his mouth till that faithful December morning

When he beheld his mother lie on her bed looking cold, tender and helpless

It was then that he cried for he actually found out the true meaning of bitterness.
