ATLANTIC WHISPERS
Talitha Bing
Taking a walk along the beach I feel the sun's warm embrace I close my eyes to bask in the rays And it gently kisses my face.
Sitting at the water's edge I'm rushed with white foam and then The water recedes from the damp shoreline and prepares to break waves again.
Looking to the horizon at what may be With luck you'll see a dolphin or two. They play in the water so gleefully ANd you know they're laughing for you.
And when the sun has sunken low My paradise fades to blue But I kiss it goodnight until morning And it whispers, "Good night to you, too."

Forever Strangers Maresa Spooner
At first full of mystery and a quest for discovery. Innocence and sincerity prosper No end in sight, just pure love. Slowly all near-perfection diminishes. Truth leaks out slowly and each questions their feelings for the other. All innocence lost, no visible mark of sincerity And love dies like the final flickers of a candle. Real identities revealed, and suddenly all former beliefs are proven mistaken. The two (formerly in love) are now strangers to each other. Rarely crossing paths. And never to be united Again.

What's love
Angel Lynn Haugrud
I cant tell you what love, is but i will love is...
I'm not telling you to believe what I'm about to say but read it any ways I cant even if i wanted to you see love is not something you can tell everyone about Its not something like hate or anger which you cant put in a book If god wanted us to know what love is then he would of given us the knowledge to tell everyone But he didn't so guess he never wanted us to know Truthfully i think god does not even no much about love Most people think love is being with the person you really like Or taking your date to a movie and saying you love them over and over again Or slow walks on the beach Cuddles Hugs and kisses Making love at night But its not love is the one mystery no one can really explain not even me Even if god new what love is you think he would tell us He mite when we die He mite not we might just have to guess about it But i used to think love is live Being able to get forgiven by god that's true love being able to get that special person into your life giving life to a new kid teaching people how to be real people love is being able to have a family love is were your poor and your out on the streets but you have a place to go like homeless shelters love is people working so other people can have what they need and then them getting stuff to love is looking into your kids eye and seeing their future just joking that's not love that's what people think love is love is life that's love love is power love is...
love is indescribable
that's why i love you [joking]
love is the one thing i cant describe its the only mystery in my life and i bet in yours to you may say you know love but you really don't you may say you know every thing about love but the truth is you don't because no one knows about love not even the great god himself and that's the truth

My one true love clovas
My dear. My days are longer. My sleep is shorter. My strength is failing. All the power I had Is almost gone. As the light fades away And the darkness comes. I fight the demons To find my one true love. And as I fight. I see a light shining so bright. Soon the demons are gone. The darkness fades away. My power is restored. My strength is now full. My sleep is peaceful. My day is happier. For you have my heart And you keep it next to yours. So faithful and so willing. Our love will last forever. In happiness and peace. For I have found. My one true love.

ADORATION Reflections of you In a still pond below me Celestial Moon... Above me makes you shimmer Like a raindrop in the Sun...
Tobe Roberts (Japanese tanka poem)

And I wouldn't change a thing
That's how its always been
Portraits Dear
Pictures of Me
I must be getting older
What a thing
There's things I don't need But I want them anyway I wouldn't change a thing
Come on take a chance Show some sympathy You know your getting older Why change a thing
Get to know me and maybe i'll do the same for you Come on try it out Tomorrows to late Dear And by then I may never know you
Remember that day? I can so clearly, but then again Its sort of a fading memory I remember I found you But i had to lose you
No worries Dear
Lets stay Here for a now
Wait for me just a little while
And i'll Tell you "why i wouldn't change a thing"
Someday......
Maybe

Dinner with Lee Ramesh Dohan
The cook makes the sauce— hot pot encounters cold tomato homeland.
A tiny spot of memory bitter like tea leaves clings to the worn spoon.
Scarlet ribbon wrappings layer over layer, way way beyond exotic.
They are handing out menus again. In and out, practice the union of east and west.
You stand outside the door waiting for that man to walk out of your heart.

DIME
Jesus Juarez
I can remember back sometime,
I fell in love with this wueda,
Man she was fine, On a scale of 1 to 9,
I would rate her a dime,
She was a goody two shoes suburban girl, I tried to bring her into my ghetto world, Ever since the start, I knew I had her heart, Straight from the beginning bid, My brother warned me about our family biz, He told me I better not let her in on it, I already knew all of this, She took it as a dis, I came from the streets of the hood, If the cops were to roll through, She knew nothing of what we were up to, I loved the things that she could do, Straight tearing up the sheets, My love for her went deep, But, It was never meant to be, It wasn't my destiny.

“Love across salt desert” -Maheshwar Mathad
Disgraceful little girl Left off the door at midst, She kept on walking and walking and walking Until she reach shoreline. She astonished at little-little things, She touched most minuscule waves, She holds them in both palm-leafs And Drink a mouthful of salt waters. Early in morning, she was drowsy, She made a pillow and a bed of sand, And slept-off dreaming an Angel to Land,
In midst of her dream, She could hear, someone banging her name, Someone patting her forehead with sympathy And she moved, holding a finger of someone, As if she’s moving in fair, holding his fathers’.
Someone narrated her a story of love, Story of ‘Love across the salt desert’ The story of a young boy Adi -from vast Indian Ocean Fall in love with a cute girl Fadh -beside South China Sea. The saga of their love, their feelings, Regarding their joy, their sorrows,
Also someone narrated about the Big saga of boy, who jumped into sea wave, To swim across salt desert to devote his love, All the waves, all the water, all the sand Cared him lot in reaching the other end. He kept swimming not caring the day and night, To be floating he holds all his breathe tight, He was a tiniest part of sea, The cold, the hunger, the tides were giants, The boy, obscured under the sand beds, Along with his loves’ and admires, They also buried, for million of decades.
Someone, Narrated the little girl, The story of love across salt desert And someone advised her, Not to fall in love across continent. And all they say, It’s easy to make love, Hard to bear the leave.

"To Dylan: Who Am I?"
Lisa Ann Allen
Who am I? I never knew.
Girl, woman, wife, to name a few.
Somebody's child, somebody's friend
A soul who'll vanish with the wind.....one day.
Who am I? I am a nurse Who cares for people at their worst But that is what I do, not who I am.
Who else am I? I am a daughter, And like a boat adrift the water I struggled each and every day To find my port, And as I lay washed up on shore, I listened to the ocean's roar, Afraid I couldn't take much more Of looking for myself.
Then there was you. And then I came Out of the dark, out of the rain, Out of the cloak, yes, I awoke To who I really am.
And what a joy to finally see... To really know, to really BE And to no longer be in doubt Regarding what life's all about, And why God put me here.
Who am I? I never knew. That is, dear child, 'til I had you. 'Tis you defines me like no other. Who am I? I am your mother.

Fate Ashley Reel
Being there at the right time, being in the right place, a feeling that you'll be mine, dreaming of seeing your face.
Imagining a moment like this, a warm starry night, then giving me the most gentle kiss, you wrap your arms around me tight.
You whispered "I love you" in my ear, I looked at you and knew it was fate. I whispered back "I love you too dear," as i smiled and realized you are my soul mate.

I give you my honesty my care and my word I give you my hand (a love said with out words) I give you my sympathy hoping for kindness and longing for friendship tots lasting a world
I'm hoping for sumthing unknown and expecting I'm hoping for your eyes that are something unresting I'm hoping for something to happen to us and for it to be love that doesn't shatter
I'm crying the last things that ive said to you I'm crying because i really loved you I'm crying because i know ive done wrong and nuthing can change that not even our song

It's hard to figure out
The future I must face.
I don't want to take the pain
Without you in this place
But I've got no choice. I need to fight the fears. I'll value the past memories And how you had cared for me year after year.
It's because of you That I am who I am today I wished you could have stayed to this day In order to hear me say I LOVE YOU!

You
Aisha M. Thomas
In my mind I know that you may never be what I want, but in some ways i feel good that a part of me doesn't care.
In my mind I can't process a future, but I know you're here for a reason..I just don't know what that reason is.
You may not know this but I listen to what you have to say.
Your arrogance is not tactless, yet it is wisdom Your undisciplined demeanor speaks fearlessness, and courage.
Your mind is powerful...yet you have no idea.
When you speak it is as if lighting and dark clouds appear in the sky, and the depths of the earth are revealed.
You are the true image of..I've taken that breath of despair, hurt and pain.
You have risen above all odds..but still continue to search....am I your light..am I your all?

Where Did You Go?" Lara Alost Why did you leave? Where did you go? My mind has been burning to know
You left with out a good-bye Just dropped off the face of the earth Vanishing from sight And fading from mind
Thousands of things remind me of you No matter how hard I try I can't seem to forget you Songs movies, books, jokes... They all link me to you
I lie in bed at night Thoughts dwelling on you. I can't help but wonder Do you think of me too?
Do you miss me Like I miss you?

Forgotten Life by: Marissa Knight
This old bottle of water Drifting fnerts of sand floating inside To you, it’s just a dirty, useless canteen But to me… it’s something much more
Why, you ask? Decide for yourself
A: If I were to shake it gently, the sound produced: Swish, Swoosh, Swish, Swoosh Would be associated with a running waterfall
B: If I were to smell it, The stench would be terrible And that’s the honest truth
C: If my hand were to enter the bottle Everything would feel the same As when I first gathered it
D: If I were to bring it up, towards my quivering lips, The taste would be unimaginable Like drifting ants, dancing on my tongue
Did you choose A, B, C, or D? Or maybe you chose all of the above…
Don’t worry I have the answers, They’re here in my heart… my cheat-sheet
The answer is Letter E—it’s a memory… of my forgotten life

"I Know you Don't Love Me" Alyssa Delrow
Should I tell you that I love you, Tell you how I feel, If I tell you all these things I wont have time to heel. I wont have time to heel because, I'll go away so soon, And when I go away, Ill be Down and my whole life will be ruined. But I will tell you anyway I love you to this very Day And if you tell me you love me too, please don't let it change!

Absence EMILY PENNEY
In between the right and left ribs Above the stomach Lies a circular mass An organ the doctor never Examines
It causes sickness and disease to*o liver, spleen, kidneys, and it throbs close to the heart We often mistake it for one in The same.
Mine got injured and I Went out searching Annoyed with its aching and taking Over my life And, I knew if I didnt, it would infect my body Inch by inch Until there was nothing left but black-rotten flesh.
I spent more hours than I... Realize Even to say Just because this damn organ wanted A name.

LUV 1 ON 1
Written by DIZIE B.
Intro:
Love is a special type of feeling 2 people share, never being afraid to show they care.
Its being there for your significant other through triumphs and pain.
Its not all about the sex player but how you play the game.
So here's class "LUV 1 ON 1" as i tell you what a woman wants.
A dozen roses, sometimes just one or just pulling her close to you and holding her in your arms.
A simple phone call in the middle of the day, if nothing more than to say "I LOVE YOU BABE".
A loving card on an ordinary day, will mean the world to her, just believe what i say.
To her affection is like perfection, and it means so much.
Lets the whole world know that its just the 2 of us.
Tell her she's loved every Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall.
Now i'm missing my love, so class dismissed y'all.

BREATHE ON ME
Jeff Pelsang
Breathe on me,
Let me feel your breathe upon my skin,
Touch my hand with a gentleness as caressing as the wind,
Look in to my eyes and see the love I feel,
Put your hand upon my chest as my beating heart proves my love is real,
Let me run my hands through your silky hair and see a hint of a lustful smile,
Lets hold the stare that we both share and cherish it for the while,
No stormy wind can blow apart these feelings we just shared, no god can break the bonds we've made as one will never tare,
The more who try to rip us way the more that find demise,
Our secrets of love our hidden well we keep them in our eyes,

Mind of Her own whisperkwane
You can be direct... With or without male contact... You see the past...
And the future as well... But still in me you dwell... Causing me to swell...
You, moan and softly yell... You are direct...mostly for you It's costly...
Like that day; you went to explore... The garden... Your directness has you and I... Band to earth's woes... As man and woman.
All the birds and butterflies... Cried. No one knew you had such pride. Satan evens regret his move...
Satan never consider your... Direct mood. Satan touched your softness... And was hooked.
You shared it with me... I was well took... It is all wrote down in the book...
Even God was shook... Your beauty and wisdom cook... Your respect... Made you and I rejects...
Now you secretly rule the world... Giving your love briefly... At some moments... And to the brim at other times...
Directing man, by his spine. Oh! you are good, With the garden in you... Allowing man to plant... Down the road allowing him to pant.
Then man chants... A song of your sovereignty... Which is given by God... For mans tree.
You woman have a mind of your own... You are truly mans home... There is much concerning you... And your garden, I do not understand...
As Man.
And when my spirit was running... I understood you not. Your garden... Your garden... Is none stop...
The freedom of your mind... Holds me ever so close... And...yet so farrr.

Split Obsessions
Nikki
It’s dangerous, the feelings I feel
The love I reveal is sometimes too real
The thoughts I think are so filled with passion The mistakes of life have only compassion
The crazy thoughts that run through my mind When your eyes look into mine they are blind Yet the droplets of pain trickling down my cheek Reveals the warmth I so desperately seek
One second bright, the other in spite
There is only pain brought into the night And the tears and the fears of every fight Only then bring memories of before tonight
By day one way, by night another
A fairytale unlike any other
Without this love, there is only hate
Only hope can reveal my hearts true fate

I ask that you please "love" me so
I never truly let go
I doubt you even have a clue
That I still truly do "love" you
I gave you my heart
You broke it apart
You left me here crying
Parts of me are dying
No one can see pain behind a mask
No one can see how I complete the task
No one can see the cuts the scars
Of a girl left alone by far
No one can see how she's slowly fading away No one would ever listen to what she had to say So eventually she gave up, Stop trying Then her hopes and dreams went flying Why can't anyone see the girl screaming "notice me"
