I am... I'm not really sure what I am right now. Numb is perhaps the best way to describe it, I suppose.
On Wednesday afternoon I lost a very good lifelong friend. His untimely death has left us all in shock, and is still sinking in. It's hard to think I will never talk to him again, hear his voice, spend hours discussing anything and everything, share his enthusiasm for the weird, the wonderful and everything in between, his zest for life.
The world really has lost a very bright light, a man of integrity, and above all, a true gentleman and a beautiful soul. My sincere condolences. I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm tired now, it's time to recline
Though I wish 't was with someone to hold
A loved one, who really was mine
Oh I hate that my bed has grown cold

Are you sure Ginger? Last time I looked, it was me...

Crush - Churn

Beauty is deeper than skin

For some, the line ends too soon....

Endurance

Your bank account is empty, but so are your freezer, your fridge and your cupboards...

Yes, I do. Fresh herbs to spice up our meals, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, red currants and olives (and geraniums too)

Do you like to cook?

But what can i do, my hearts been shot by cupid
And I've been consumed by my undying love since that day
It's a feeling that fills my heart and will not go away
Even though all my friends say I am wasting my time and it's stupid

But there isn't a day I don't think of how we two could play
All the acts of true love, all the things that would totally prove it
That you really are mine and there's nothing on earth that can stop it
That you're in my life now forever and ever to stay

Reality bites me when I have to open my eyes
And I look and I see that you'll never be more than a friend
Oh why can't I listen to friends who are giving advice

But inside of me everything pulls up a wall to prevent
That a piece of my heart stops believing in chances and dies
For my love for him will be a part of me until the end

If you love him: Roses are red and daisies are white grab hold of your loved one and hold him real tight for time passes quicky so try not to miss any chance that you get for a hug or a kiss If you love her: Roses are red oh yes, roses are red let her know that you love her every chance that you get for your life rushes by father time does not care so savour those wonderful moments...

That her God always hears That is what she believes And that helps her and comforts her Because she grieves For the loss of her loved ones Both her husband and son Who had died in september of 2001 They were firemen  Rescuing folks from the towers And when they collapsed She had waited for hours She had prayed every minute But too soon it was clear That fate had...

At his side, where she belongs That other woman lies And in her nightmares and her dreams That other woman dies More than a hundred different ways With bullets, poison, knives But in her nightmares and her dreams She has a thousand lives Yet when they meet she bows her head Afraid to show the hate That feeds her nightmares and her dreams And leads her to her fate Back...

Roses are red like the blood in my veins it is also the color of the feeling that reigns over all other feelings that I always feel and I know in my heart that it still is as real as the day I first kissed you held you close in my arms you will always be my flame and my being still warms when I sense you around me when I feel that you're close I will love you forever you're...

Fifteen years now, time went fast Childhood almost in the past Almost woman, beauty too Imagine boys are chasing you Time is nearing, without doubt That you're wanting to go out A scary thought, my little girl Your beauty shining like a pearl Out there where I cannot protect I'll have to trust you, that's a fact It's hard to deal with, but I know I'll have to practice letting go We've tried...

Sleep where are you I need you now You elusive jerk Every time I close my eyes My brain starts work Neurons buzzing In my head Processing thought Unrelenting No intermission Never without I have to find you To silence my braincells Before I'm all messed Sleep where are you I need you now Grant me some rest...

He's struggling hard to get outside He really does not want to hide But something keeps him out of sight Behind a concrete wall He's always trying to express And looks for words without success Each time he tries it's just a mess That makes no sense at all He looks for holes he can go through He's desperate to speak to you Yet caught inside without a clue He wants to run amok I wish that...

I guess it will be A waste of good money To buy you those roses They will wither away You'll never come back to me So I'll just leave them And I'll buy me a bottle So the ghosts will not stay And maybe I'll sleep Once that I've seen the bottom And just maybe those dreams Will not haunt me tonight If they do I'll just buy me Another cheap whiskey Just to help me forget For I'm loosing this fight...

Witch's thimbles, Dead man's bells Sound like words from ancient spells Bloody fingers, Lady's glove Witches tend to like the stuff Fairy fingers, Fairy caps Things from fairytales perhaps Everywhere an other name Yet they all speak of the same Fairies love them, 's often said And like to use them as a hat Ointments, once by witches made Could make you hallucinate It...

One day a married businessman Thought of everything he had There was only one thing missing and that was a lovely pet So he strolled down to the petshop Where a parrot caught his eye Without legs it still sat firmly And that made him wonder why When he asked the bird what held him Without legs upon that stick The smart parrot said: "My thingy wraps around and that's the trick" "And I'm...
