Of my hot burning love
I shall feed the fires.
I'll tell you of my desires
As I nibble on your ear lobe.
You know the old adage is true,
Everybody plays the fool?
That is certainly true.
I thought I was the fool, a joker, a harlequin.
Now I see it was you all along.

My eyes can see what my heart cannot,
My mind is catching up
To what held me down.
Ghosts of us I must let go.
Once upon a time I thought you were perfect.
in the movie, La Vie En Rose, why does it not focus more on her most famous song, ever?

which is, of course, La Vie En Rose

what a letdown.

(Edith Piaf)


I guess for me reading is an appreciation of the art of writing. I take it as a compliment that a random stranger clicks onto one of my submissions and taeks from it whatever it is that drew them to the piece in the first place. When I pick up a book - especially if it is by an author I have read before - I already know that as soon as I open the front cover that I am going to have a few hours of inexpensive pleasure.

I enjoy writing that is character-driven; I want to know why that charcter is the way he/she is, why they do/say/think/behave/react as they do. Obviously a good plot is essential, but a good plot with shallow or ill-drawn characters is like a vegatble soup without the vegetables: watery and pointless. I work hard on making the characters in my works as real and human and believable as I am able, hoping that the reader will connect with him/her on some level.

The bottom line as to why I read is very simple: I read for enjoyment and an appreciation of the author's art. In my mind, the two go hand-in-hand.

Instead of a rant, I just have to make a 'good' complaint, if one can do such a thing...

Since I joined Stories Space I have rediscovered my writing mojo. It had been buried/lost/supressed/ignored for about the past five years for reasons I cannot understand. That's history.

Now, I have the opposite problem: TOO much stuff running around my head

I guess I shouldn't complain, really. I am a lucky guy to not only have the ideas but also the skills to translate those ideas into some form of coherent prose. I am more thankful for that than I could ever adequately express.

The rub is this: I just don't have enough hours in the day to get those ideas written down! That, my dear friends and fellow writers, is the biggest and most frustrating pain in the butt I can think of

I have about six ongoing projects in various stages of development; from just a title and a couple of lines to give me the overall idea of my idea to several chapters of a longer piece of work.

You know what? Forget all the forgoing: I would rather be in this sitaution than staring at a blank screen desperate for inspiration! You can never have too much of a good thing, right?


Yayyy good for you Andy

Quote by BeYoutiful
Do I let go
Letting fear win
Should I hold on
Living this sin

My heart is breaking
My anxiety is high
Though it is precious
It's all a big lie

You're my weakness
My tortuous knight
I will stay ...IF
You also fight

Don't use me
Let this not be abuse
For if this is real
Its worth all I'll lose


Wow.... There is another story behind this 'story', clearly.

Where the heart is concerned any decision we make is fraught with apprehension and 'danger'. The thing we all most fear is getting hurt, but, unfortunately, that's the risk you have to take if you want a relationship with someone you care about. I hope it all works out right for you.

I wished you didn't do that to me. You going down you basterd.
Not if it was my kid, which I have none.



( I've made up the difference in change before. Not for a long time)

If you found a wallet, would you turn it in?

Would you look inside it?
No.

If someone was short by a quarter or less in front of you in line, would off to make up the difference?

I want a long winter coat... one that goes down to my ankles...


Hope you get one.


Need to buy groceries again.


Not sure if it's hope you get one or hopes you get one.
Quote by paulus
forever, my love
is an awfull long deal
but it's not long enough
for the love that I feel
it could fill up the universe
light up the sky
so the folks would look up there
and wonder just why
our sun seemed much brighter
and why even the moon
would light up like a lantern
even when it is noon
I would tell them what caused
all this light from above
it is just the reflection
of my burning hot love


So very beautiful hon...

Love it.


Thank you for writing it..xoxoxo

Coffee belongs down the sink (eeeewwwwww). It is tea or Milo all the way for me!

What is your favourite milkshake flavour?
(just so you all know, the best flavour is spearmint :P )
It is...or can be.

Whether it be emotional or physical.

There's a certain comfort in it.

Once you start drowning in it, you either get out or go deeper.

How do you like your coffee?
Most lovely girl
Of purest heart
Lover of words
Light in the dark
You are pure beauty.

You will never know just how precious you are to me.
