A time of troubles
An era of despair
Bad times are coming
You had better beware

Life flows on
Everyday all day
But it’s almost gone
You had better pray

A love that is pure
A love that is just
In Life we lure
This love is lust

Now as I lay here
On my bed of death
My senses sharpened
I die like the rest.

Facing our own mortality has a way of sharpening our focus. Wise words. Welcome to Passions, Whispered Name! Please check your e-mail for a special Passions' welcome!

Yea there are bad times coming, and quite right on earth most of the love here is lustful and unreal.
But that true love exists and yes we do need to get on our knees and pray.
denise is right that facing mortality makes a person think.
Welcome to Passions, I look forward to seeing more of your writing and hope you stay awhile!

Always, Alyssa

You are very right, we do need to pray.
This is a very strong first post, full of
truth. I enjoyed reading it, and look forward
to reading more of your poetry.

Also, I would like to welcome you to our "home"
at PIP. I hope that you enjoy it here.

(big hugggsssssss) This is so very true, sweet friend, and I think ever so often we forget of our mortality and then when we realize that we feel in dire straits! This is a poignant debut, sweet friend, GodBless You, I love it! Welcome to Passions, sweet friend, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your lovely words, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Not mind in the least, this little

Welcome! Chaos does seem to rule some days. It's good that you can focus on something else...lust and/or love can really change your POV, if only for a moment or two each hour.

Dutchie:
Most often blond,
Talks in spliced sentences,
Seven long clauses, then a verb.
Charming!
