Autumn Friday love

He brings me flowers 

for no special reason. 

He brings me flowers 

for each new season. 

A scent so sweet,

a memory of when we first did meet.

A bright rosy red,

When words are left unsaid. 

As light as the sun,

A pearl of white,

To shine for me,

As autumn just has begun.

I treasure the flowers 

of each new season.

That his love,

is the only reason.

Success is speaking words of praise

In cheering other peoples ways

In doing just the best you can

With every task and every plan.

It's silence when your speech would hurt.

Politeness when your neighbor's curt.

It's deafness when the scandal flows

And sympathy with other'a woes.

It's loyalty when duty calls

It's courage when disaster falls

It's politeness when the hours are long

It's found in laughter and in song.

It's in the silent time of prayer

In happiness and in despair 

It's all of life and nothing less

We find the thing we call success.

Honesty removes the hope

When you love someone you can’t love, it’s a constant reaching. You don’t just walk away when you’re told you have to. You know there’s no hand to meet yours but you hold it out there anyway. You singlehandedly display the epitome of human resilience, and you do it all silently. You somehow remain convinced that honesty removes hope, and that compromises the fact on which your love can thrive, the hope that one day, they’ll change their minds. And that finally, for somebody, you’ll be enough.

But the truth is that as much as that love drives people, it’s often barricaded by the love of keeping their pride intact. They don’t want to get down into the humility of being human because it means they’re just as embarrassingly normal as the rest of us. You either love someone or you love your ego. The two rarely coincide. Love is not waiting somewhere for us to stumble upon it and soak it up in deluded ecstasy with no reverence for the painstaking reality of what it takes to really be a blissed out human being.

Love can be beautiful but sometimes Cupid's bow and arrow can take a very misdirected aim. While often hard if you were truly in love, walking away from a love that will never work can sometimes be the best thing you can do for your sanity and future well being.

One of the most compelling reasons for walking away from someone you love is that despite the love, this person is hurting you in some way.

Whatever the reason, if you're constantly hurt, undermined or let down by this person, you owe it to yourself to walk away. 

Dear

You have made me cry countless times, made me lose hope and desire. You want me to understand you and be there for you and yet cant understand me or be there for me when I fall. You say sorry only to shut your eyes, turn a blind eye. You think the problem dissappears if you just close your eyes hard enough..

You are completely surpressed. You never say you do Not understand. But you just sitt there completely mute. So I may explain in every language I can. Yet even when I cry, you look right through me as if I don't exist.

Words are just words, when there is no action. You give me no choice. I do not feel safe and secure in your arms. The only thing I wanted was for you to see me, and life to be enjoyable and delightful. But you have taken away my belief that we will succeed together. My eyes are open. The sky is awake and so am I. You have with closed eyes not seen how I drift farther from your ability to reach me. 

Strapped down ballerina

Attempting a piroutte with a ball and chain strapped to her leg. And the waving flag tugs against the wind waving slowly like a ship’s sails the ocean.

Laid down by good intentions.

She saw straight away that the lay was steep. But she fell for it as easy as falling asleep. No amount of talking is going to soften the fall. It's the tilt of her will that will determine the call.

Although even the road to hell is paved with good intentions..

When she says “it’s my heart, not me, who cannot drive”, it’s actually her lover driving the vehicle.

And when she finally yells, she yells at the sky, both for the beautiful scenery, but also for what she’s feeling. 

Yet she does not mean to shout!

Just drive! Just get us out, dead or alive..

Fall inlove vs. Rise in Love

My head tells me to kick it, 

but my heart tells me one more round.

Love cannot dissappear

Should your lover dissappear then there are still little loves surrounding you all around - friend to friend, mother and dad to daughter, student to teacher..

Most of all still the greatest love of all - God, the one who is always with you loves you and grants you all mercies.

So will you deny yourself comfort at the heartfire of a cottage, just because you cannot sit at a fireplace of a palace? No!

If so then you are actually in the fire!

Do not deny yourself those who reach out to you in hopes of warming themselves at your heartfire!
