Romance on the Beach

Gulls flying over the waters Wave after wave rushes in The couple attuned only to each other Moment after intimate moment Feeding each other Listening raptly to each word Fingers touch Slowly lean inward Bruth each others' lips Tasting the remnants of the just eaten fruit Sun begins its slow descent...

Be Mine Forever Lyrics

Male sings: I see you From the corner of my eye Slowly you walk by My heartbeat quickens My eyes follow you You do not notice me I can't stop looking at you Even if I wanted Won't you glance my way Turn around and look at me Turn a second time An you will be mine forever.

Walking in the dark The cool breeze chills me Rain softly lands then slides down my skin Slowly washing away the day Refreshing me as I turn my face skyward Rain bathing my face Tasting the cool droplets Each one falls onto my tongue Sweet and clean I open my eyes as the rain ceases And glimpse the...

You Know You Are on a Doomed Date When Introduction Part 7

There are more reasons for a doomed date than I can count. Personality plays such an enormous role in that process of deciding what is and isn't one.

You Know You Are on a Doomed Date When Introduction Part 6

Attitude plays a major role as well in a doomed date. Perhaps this sounds familiar and though may seem easy to deal with it is not. It is actually quite a blow to the ego.
