Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder

I believe absence makes the heart grow fonder only if a strong foundation of love and friendship has already been laid down. The absence creates an awareness of what beautiful qualities the missing loved one brings into the relationship, such as the kind words, warmth, tenderness, care and all the little other pieces that makes [...]

On Fatherhood

I remember it like it was yesterday, I doubt I will ever forget unless of course my mental faculties fade away. As it was the one time in my life where I found that being a man, I could actually cry tears of joy. This happened when I first laid eyes on my first born [...]

Chris Rice – When Did You Fall

From the album Amusing
You’re all smiles and silly conversation
As if this sunny day came just for you
You twist your hair, you smile and you turn your eyes away
C’mon, tell me what’s right with you
Now it dawns on me probably everybody’s talkin’
And there’s something here I’m supposed to realize
‘Cause your secret’s out, and the universe laughs [...]

Silence Is Golden

There are times when we should open our hearts and let others know how we feel. For it can be a liberating experience, for all parties. But there are other times, the need outweigh the necessity and you end up embarassed and looking the fool. So ponder over it carefully before making [...]

HeartBreak

I felt my heart break today, I knew not that it would,
Sheer agony tore through my very being, and yet I rather it be mine.
Pain whispered to me to tell me that I am still alive, in loud echoes only I can hear.
Broken crimson shards to be pieced together once again!I have walked through the [...]

Goodbye My Love Goodbye – Demis Roussos

it knows I’m leaving you today
please dont cry or my heart will break
when I go on my way
Chorus:
goodbye my love goodbye
goodbye and au revoir
as long as you remember me
I’ll never be too far
goodbye my love goodbye
I always will be true

till I [...]

Some examples of how the telephone line gets broken:-

When the person shutsdown and clams up, basically refuses to [...]

My Sweet Obession

Oh! my sweet little obsession!Bitter sweet pangs shoot through my heart, Burning hot unbridled passion!Amuse, bemuse, abuse the bard!

Familiarity Breeds Contempt

I have for the longest time pondered on what this phrase meant. Afterall how can such a wonderful thing such as familiarity, of which I associate with being accustomed to someone evoke such a negative emotion such as contempt? The general perception is that as one gets closer to another, he/she will [...]

A Letter To My ‘Unworthy’ Friend

Dearest xxxxxxxxx,It eats at me to constantly see you in pain? You have so much to live for and yet you do not seem able to open your eyes to all the beauty and joys around you. Why wallow in depression? It serves no purpose, and it bears no fruit. Hopelessness is generally experienced by [...]

An Attempt At Swing / Lindy Hop ( 05 Feb 2007 )

From one that watches fairys’ dance,
Life if but a great illusion,
A poetical trance perchance,
Mingled with utter confusion.
As far back as I can remember the only partner dance I have been a part of, is that of the slow dance. Of course I have participated in my fair share of dances, that is dancing to the [...]
