Riding
The Roller Coaster
of Love


Does
the roller coaster
of love
take you
where you want
to go

or
does it
seem
totally
out of
control?

*giggling* I hope it is out of control...I love to lose control when I am in the arms of love. *sigh* I hope it isn't a roller coaster....even though I like roller coasters I want love to be many more ups than downs. **hugs**   

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

James, looking at this piece of poem sideways, it does look like a roller coaster too!!

There is the UP at first here:

Riding
The Roller Coaster
of Love

then the down and then UP again...

Does
the roller coaster
of love
take you
where you want
to go

then here, the roller coaster is coming to a stop...

or
does it
seem
totally
out of
control?

I love this. I feel that when the ride seems out of control, that is true love. If you can guide its course, than the love you have is not pure. *SMILE*

(smiles) Roller coasters scare me so much, so I will ride the tunnel of love! (smiles) I've never been in love but I dream of sailing softly and beautifully with my dream girl sparrow! (sigh) Sooooooo beautiful, sweet James, I always love your beautiful words! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I love the thrill of rollercoasters!
My ride on the 'coaster is always out of control, but thats ok because I wouldn't want love to be predictable.
Another good write from you James!!

Id love to ride this rollercoaster!  I like this roolercoaster, but this one i believe will have many ups and downs.  It could be a bumpy ride!  If not something could be wrong

Normally for me it's: sit back, hold on to something and prepare to eat grit, but...lol, maybe too much emphasis there. Too cool! Someone turn up the heat!
