I could not have lived long, without her life,
If I were alone, I would fill with strife.
Calming and wondrous her fair black hair be,
Tranquil waves on a serene blue sea.
They say words of love are mostly untrue,
Yet when she does speak, I see things right through.
I think, I ponder, I wander afar,
And know our love is a love without par.
I’d look over hill, I’d look over dale,
I’d go over mountains to tell my tale,
Our safe old love does not have an end,
The wounds of before are going to mend.
I know that this love was meant to be now,
So let me keep you from falling down.

A piece I wrote several years ago about my girlfriend at the time. It's ironic because soon after she broke up with me.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
