~~~~~~~~~~~ Challenge your heart to love. Let your emotions free to soar. Take a chance on Cupid's perfect aim, and unlock hope's golden door. For somewhere there's a someone, with a yearning just like you. To share their dreams and future, Not just as one - but two. So release your hidden passion. Feel the rapture of your soul. Romance is all around you - If true devotion is your goal. ~~~~~~ Chris Barker 2002 ~~~~~~~ |

Cpat Hair - thankyou so much, my muse has been pouting again, so it has been difficult to put words together.  "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Chris, I liked this so much. Great writing. '... Romance is all around you - ...' Yes it is, but it takes 2 hearts to make true love. Hugs, Marti |

Chris... thanks for sharing this lovely piece with us... Romance is truly all around us, but its so delicate that if we try too hard to find it, we will lose it... Best to let it find us instead  ~ loving chipmunk hugsLyra |

This is beautifully written, Chris. But, I think for now, I will keep my emotions protected. Maybe some day I will open my heart again. (If, I can ever find the key.) |
