xxxIn the spring of ’68, it was the worst of times. Student protests raged from the Sorbonne to Berkeley. Civil rights demonstrations and anti-war rallies were turning violent. Martin Luther King was dead; Bobby Kennedy would be soon. Hundreds of other Americans were dying each week in South Vietnam. Soldiers patrolled the streets of Saigon, Paris, and Washington. Soviet troops prepared to invade Prague. And in a nowhere...

I'm told I'm too picky I'm told to lower my standardsTo stop wanting what I want I'm told my type is too rare and that I will never find that My type? I don't have a type  I mean if you count human qualities a type then I guess I do  I want him to love me whole heartedly  I want him to show me off as if I'm his most prized possession  I want him to smile at me like all he can see is me  I want to know he cares and he love...

I was told I couldn't love anyone if I didn't love myselfBut that's not what my heart says when I look at a picture of you That's not what my mind says when I hear your nameThat's not what my body says when I react to your touch I never loved myself My thoughts would always just consume me, and I would give up Waking up to a message from you puts a smile on my face each and every day from the moment I woke up to the momen...

Lie down with me It's the only place where I feel safeWhere all that can be heard is our breath mixing together as we whisper sweet nothing into the wind Our hearts beating as one as if that's all they were meant to do As if that's what they lived for Happiness in your arms is all I want and I feel while surrounded by your warmth It's the only place where I can think clearlyMy thought no longer clouded by the doubt and fe...

You caught my attention right from the start;It wasn't long before you captured my heart;Years later, we've been through so very much;We've not had it easy, we've had it quite rough;We've both been stubborn; there's no doubt;Until recently it seemed we could work it out;No matter the depth of my feelings for you,If you don't feel as deeply, there's not much I can do;There's a distance between us like never before;No matte...

We had a connection from the start; You stirred the embers in my heart;The longing I'd buried deep inside,I no longer felt the need to hide;But alas, we were not meant to be;so I gave you up and set you free;We both moved on and went our way;Tho' I've thought of you since that day;I've sat and pondered now and then,what would happen if we met again;The answer to this I shall not know;For I closed my heart when I let you g...

I wrote my obituary today. It feels strange to write that, a surreal experience to say the least. How does one take stock of his life? If it is by money and status, then I am very poor indeed. If it is by the number of his friends, then I again fail. Did I have the most toys? Take the best vacations. Drive the fanciest cars? Will people remember me in one hundred years? The answer to all of these is, no. What did I do? I...

You were the sun that burned my skin because I trusted once again;Your words were like stars that fell from the sky, Only you know how often you uttered a lie;With your smooth talk and promises, you had me believing;Though I realized too late you were only deceiving;But I can't really blame you; I should have seen from the start,You were only an actor, playing a part;When you spoke of the future, I did not readily see;Tha...

Broken heart yet again, same old lies with a different spin;Hopes and dreams kept on hold, after all that time it grew old;To think I'd loved you all those years, pushed aside all my fears;Of never having your love returned, another painful lesson learned. 

Back off!Build the wall!If you don't make the climb,you won't take the fall!Don't take the chance,it's not worth the cost!Nothing won,Nothing lost!Leave nothing to doubt,when it comes to the game;If given some time,it will end just the same;Protect yourself,from certain heartbreak;The wage is too high,to risk what's at stake! 

Every minute I think of you my loveLight of my life and sweet joy of my days,In you, I have found my true heart’s desire,Zenith of my ambition and my goal,All my life has led me to this moment.Before I found you my life was emptyEven the glories of nature seemed dull,Then you came along, and everything changed,Heaven smiled on me, and the world lit up,Bringing undreamed of hope and joy divine.Lady of my dreams I pledge yo...

Dear Lover,just one last timetake me into your armshold me close.Love me.Remind me of the reasonsthe reasons I should staythough we both know,I must walk away.You deserve more than I can givelove and adorationshould be the goalfor me,I'm just trying to surviveSo many things are rightwhen I'm with youmy heart is aglowbut we both knowthat simply isn't enough.Dear lover,I'm afraid, this is goodbyetrust me, I want to stayI ha...

On thy wingsI fly as a dandelionCarrying the fragrance of love.  Beside meYou dive likeA stripe of lightningThrough the edges ofInfinite space;You—the infinity of my coveted love.To seize the kingdomOf unseen pleasureAnd to fade awayInto oblivionAnd to remain eternally fulfilledIn the castle of your memories,I tether myself to your banksIn the hopeOf wandering together on the shoresOf unending merriness. 

I feel you moving with me; In my arms you slowly kiss me; In my ear, you softly tell me, How much you really miss me; Then I reach for you, my sweet, And find that you're not with me; It's just another dream of how it ought to be.

All activity in the estate ceased as they waited for Raven. Slade and Leona returned to the main floor outside Molly's office. Eran and Kevin joined them.“What do we do now?” asked Eran.  A search and seizure warrant never involved her presence before.Bitterly, Slade answered, “We wait until Raven arrives and show her the warrant. She reads the warrant and explains to Molly what we are looking for and makes sure we do not...
