Just some dude with a beautiful son.  Good luck, boys...

My sensibilties were challenged by these writes and I found myself reasonably healthy!?  Go figure-

Thanks to the lovely angels who allowed me to adorn my page with such erudition and gorgeousity!!  LY all.

My AP mentor and great friend Sensual Angel penned this- hold onto your drawers, ya'll ...

Tears of a Rose

Cold to the touch
A fragile heart beats
protected within
the petals of love

release is needed
one wrong move
a life shatters

only fragments remain
a broken spirit on the edge
which way is she going to go?
Who will help her find the way?

Love felt deep inside
the tears began
when you said goodbye
no longer does she feel alive

wants to go, yet needs to stay
at a crossroads in life
which way is the right path
will I regret this decision that I’ve made?

Yeah, she's just as sweet as she seems, and more.  To get the full effect, you have to visit her.  LYMI, babe!

And from my newest (and as far as I know, only) friend from UAE Ylova, who can't be 19 :

Reverie

She sings to the night
She longs for his sight...

Tossing and turning,
Her flame is burning...

Drowning in her dreams
Moonlight beams...

She longs for his touch,
She wants him so much...

She needs to wake from her reverie,
Because he shall never be...

Anything but a dream...

Many loves and thanks, "e-lov-a!"  Reader, do yourself a favor- visit http://allpoetry.com/Ylova for more of her unique and melodic writes.
