Not Looking I did not look for you didn’t even see you coming don’t want mysteries in my life too old for upsets didn’t see you coming, love, didn’t look for you can’t take chances any more ancient’s my middle name didn’t even look around and there you were in my life and here we need anonymity too aged for passion anymore but here you are in my life see this man’s heart sing I want to rest in obscurity and not feel that old love’s sting I did not look for you didn’t see you coming, love, didn’t even look around but here you are in my life fate…so be it 29 August 2000 ©Karilea Rilling Jungel |

Can't fight fate, Sunshine....and one's never too old for passion....it's never too late to let the Sunshine in  |

How accurate a portrayal of the way a new friendship or love sneaks right up on us. Whether we expect it or even want it, there it is. And now we have to make it a good thing. Good luck, and much happiness. catalinamoon |

Sometimes, it's right in front of you my friend. . . sometimes it is. . . and you're never too old for romance as Balladeer says . . . it lives forever. . . Wonderful poem. . . -------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Fate does so have a way of sneaking in just when we decide we aren't looking. As always, love your style. |

I can't say I wasn't looking- But I will say I was unprepared. I can't say a simple e-mail would start me thinking - But it came unsolicited. I can't say I wanted to slip, And begin to lose control But I did And I too am too old ~G~ (by your standards anyhow )But the slope is slippery Welcome to the club ~Love one human being purely and warmly, and you will love all. The heart in this heaven, like the sun in its course, sees nothing from the dew drop to the ocean, but a mirror which it brightens, and warms and fills. ~ Johann Richter ~ wilfredyeats@hotmail.com |

Is it not ironic? Desperate souls searching for company end up being alone ... And the ones who don't look keep having all the companions ... ... maybe it's not fate but something called "Charm"... btw- who doesn't want sunshine?  wonderful work, Karilea regards, sudhir |

Mr. Yeats - temptation a cruel mistress...common sense can keep one warm, tread carefully through the trenches refrain from your heart any harm... and soon enough, that slope will be a conquerable mountain... Sudhir, why, anyday I can spread this tiresome smile around...[tiresome to only some...] I'll do it! |
