A Sunday in full glory...(at the sea's shore)
I kneel before the water
Glistening like diamonds
Rich without amount
Covering the silk of the sand
Knowing not man or woman
Baring its gift of serenity
It's an entity of sort
Covering ankles of those who have sauntered
Aspire to the serenity
Of the endless view of water
Relieve all anxiety
and perish all despair
Of the who kneel before the water
Knows no time
Just tide coming forth
To entertain all in awe
massaging feet in the silk of the sand
water seeping through to fill the void of land
Clear blue sky with distant clouds of soft touch
but you may never feel, just admire much
Water teasing my toes, an admiration
waiting in anticipation
to be kissed and missed
A creature of the earth is this
A Sunday in full glory....
Glistening like diamonds

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

Love....
If I never felt love,
Then I would wonder what it was….
Look for it
Find it
And keep it always
In my heart…
If I never said, “I love you”
Then life would not have any substance…
It would be shallow, drab and dreary…
If I've never shown Love
Than you've seen nothing at all
Love would be blind too...
If love was not true, than false I would be….
Love is like a candle….
That lights a candle
That lights a candle
Lights a candle…

I am a lover, a fighter and a survivor…
I am a lover first, of life, of each day…hopeful…
And fight the days that just could be better
Those days that creep up like hell
One thing goes wrong and then another,
For whatever reason, as a challenge of the spirit
And when it’s all over I realized I survived it
Because I am a lover first…
Love conquers all…

February 14th marks the holiday of St. Valentine, ...In honor of this candy heart chocolate overload and flowers holiday, that we share with our beloved, I will share with you love poetry...enjoy!...
When I wanted to see love, I saw you
When I smiled it was because I was listening
When my heart cracked, you mended it carefully without me knowing
When my dreams were shattered, you gave me hope-
And shine, the pieces a kaleidoscope…

Love and Happiness
All we want out of life is love and happiness…
Some people find it in material items, pets,
Having children, a great career or finding the perfect mate
I find that they are none of these….
Maybe all of these,
For me it’s the heart that beats and beats…
