Now I understand there is nothing that I know that everything I thought was real was nothing more than mere fool's gold. I know now that I am corrupt and all my laws were nothing but a rationale to justify insanity of simple lies. Everything I told myself is nothing more than gathered dust my life has been neglected shelf and no one else to blame but self and so I leave this simple trust: I live to love, because I must. I thank you for the lesson learned. Even as the fire burns I am now forever charred Proudly I will wear the scars of living in the only truth-- strengthened by memories of you. |

i enjoyed how this one flowed and also how it made me smile---the best lessons learned are those learned in love, and memories of our lovers stick with us always and only become more romantic with time, don't you agree? I always enjoy your work -misscris |

I live to love, because I must" Beautifully expressed Serenity....doesn't it always seem like the best lessons are most often the hardest to learn? Hugs, ~Krista  "Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. |

My Gawd, this is sooooo cool. Have you been watching my life?!  As always you express powerfully what others fail to. Girl, this rocks, your style and flair for expressing raw emotion is unbelievable. I wish that I had written this, it echoes so much of my life hauntingly. Well, through all my rambling, I'm sure you can tell that this awed me ~ This one's a keeper!Melissa~ |

sometimes we just don't know what is real do we? Your words are deep and moving with much thought. I read through a few times and still found something different. " I walked beside the evening sea And dreamed a dream that could not be" George William Curtis" |

Oh, we blame ourselves for so much. Sometimes I feel we should be more gentle with our beings. |
