Remember Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay. Remember me when no more, day by day, You tell me of our future that you planned; Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for awhile And afterward remember, do not grieve, For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad. -Christina Rossetti

Beginnings.... We are constructing In our heads In french restaurants Precariousness, Put together A bouquet Of maybes. The we is still So strange I try To get looks at us In mirrors. I puzzle you And you Aren't quite sure Which you like better, Having a chick somewhere You dig, Or The idea of it. I keep asking you (silently) Where we're going And you keep naming Places. Sometimes, Flipping through our Storybook love I think I would do anything To make it A newspaper. Wit and Reassurance Stretching to make A bridge Of sighs. Maybe it will be Okay If we never Look down.

"Love means never having to say you're sorry."
Haiku "Feeling all the pain of loneliness...seeing memories of all that we shared." "Having you ...there's just no better way to live my life." "Light beams across my paper ...they shimmer the page with a summer ray of hope." "Just one thought, one gentle little thought of him, that's all I need to get by each day."
"A man who is his own man is my love...strong and proud and sure...and now he is going to share his life with me."
Mist The sea is gone and the sky is gone and yet the cliffs are gray and the sand is gray and wet where the sky once reached and the sea once reached and met. --Diana DerHovanissian
The Two Wives One was a wife in name only; the other was the kind of girl he should have married in the first place. -Jane Aiken Hodge
With Love... from Rod McKuen The Adventures of Clark Kent Your body lying easy in the August day is not a challenge but an invitation; being lazy too, I leave it to the sun to ravage. Night-always more dependable than sunshine, has a way of coming 'round on time and I'm a patient man. Don't think I haven't noticed those intrepid hikers of the summer beach who in the guise of Sunshine Supermen live out the tail ends of the afternoons behind half blind venetian blinds with what they've staked out on mid-mornings. Notice though the rope I've tied about your ankle. No Latin sun can steal my mistress for more than one single afternoon. P.S. Are we really looking for love or just some means of contentment for which as yet we haven't found a name? Don't bend love. Let it bend you. If love is an art, then we should all aspire to be Picasso or IBM in triplicate. P.S. It is the highest honor to be loved, even in a letter. People are loving more, but love less.
We know only what we do, what we make, what we construct; and all that we make, all that we construct, are realities...images are realities themselves... -Gabo
"Look far ahead to see the end from the beginning...and behold the awesome horrors of man's knowledge."
Grace For A Child Here a little child I stand, Heaving up my either hand; Cold as paddocks though they be, Here I lift them up to Thee, For a benison to fall On our meat and on us all. -Robert Herrick
"Yesterday is experience. Tomorrow is hope. Today is getting from one to the other as best we can." -J. M. Henry
"Sex is a three letter word which sometimes needs some old-fashioned four letter words to convey its full meaning: words like help, give, care, love." -Sam Levenson
"The beauty of 'spacing' children many years apart lies in the fact that parents have time to learn the mistakes that were made with the older ones--which permits them to make exactly the opposite mistakes with the younger ones." -Sydney J. Harris
"Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man." -Banjamin Franklin
"The silliest woman can manage a clever man." -Rudyard Kipling
"Marriage must be a relationship either of sympathy or of conquest." -George Elliot When I Was One-And-Twenty When I was one-and-twenty I heard a wise man say, "Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heart away; Give pearls away and rubies But keep your fancy free." But I was one-and-twenty, No use to talk to me When I was one-and-twenty I heard him say again, "The heart out of the bosom Was never given in vain; 'Tis paid with sighs a-plenty And sold for endless rue." And I am two-and-twenty, And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true. -A.E.Housman
Loss Loss is absence,bleakness, a forgotten toy, a neglected kitten. Loss is a pitt: dark, deep and never ending, also someone elses gain.
Between Nothingness & Eternity Barren of events Rich in pretensions My earthly llife Obscurity My real name Wholly unto myself I exist. I wrap no soul In my embrace. No mentor worthy Have I. I am all alone Between failure And frustration. I am the red thread Between nothingness And eternity. -Sri Chinmoy "If your child is to live with us, be educated by us, suffered by us, add to the crowd of us, we should have a say."

"You never really leave a place you love. Part of it you take with you, leaving a part of you behind." "Because we walk it only once, then how important it is that we should walk it with some purpose that we can call our own." "I know that you believe you understand what you think I said. But, I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant." "I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way."--SYBIL Of becoming me... Memory Misguided Important facts Escape me, I find; But trivia's Indelibly etched On my mind! -Lillian Dorian "i love you more,than i love my teddy bear" "I do not fear tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday, and I love...today. -William Allen White "Time never changes my love for you."

"An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding."-Robert Louis Stevenson "Government spending gives you an idea why laws are called bills."
