"Be Still My Heart..." Mark Twain

If you never allow yourself to love,

you might avoid a broken heart, 

but you will never know what it is

 like to dance upon the clouds. 

~

If I could leave behind one gift, I would want it to be the acknowledgement of our love, for in our existence, comes reality and with reality truth. 

~

I wanted to cry but no tears would fall, 

to run but my feet were anchored, 

to forget but in my will to forget

I only remembered more. 

~

If you never allows yourself to sing,
you might find silence but it will be the silence
 that speaks that will be heard within the heart. 

~

I stood in front of the mirror of life and 

faced my vulnerabilities and time snickered. 

~

Love would never intentionally cause pain, 

but never the less it does. 

~

Real love does exist, 

rare though it maybe...

~

One moment might be our forever

and one day our eternity. 

~

When you can find beauty in your partner no matter

the moment...you have found true love. 

~

Forgiveness allows one to heal, 

remembering builds a shield. 

~

I never felt guided by anything,

maybe that is why I have always been lost,

I am still trapped on this earthly plateau. 

~

I had a picture on my desk for over 20 years, 

today I noticed it said  " I believe" Do I ? 

~

My promise... to always love

and to forever document it. 

~

Love is unique, 

it really has no set rules.

~

My heart spoke and 

my soul danced as I embraced love. 

~

Love is what I am when I am near you, 

what I am when thinking of you and

what I am when we are separated. 

~

Sometimes you just don't recognize what you have

until you realize it's gone. 

~

My eyes speak the truth and my heart beats with joy... I indeed love.
