Nothing is new under the Sun
Pleasure swifts and pain lasts
Love blossoms for sometime
In the transient garden of heart
Until the drought of tragedy
Eradicates the seed of love
Until the tides of the ocean
Rinses its mark from the sand
For love is build above the sand
And not build above the rock
My love! Even if we love much
One-day we would part from Earth
The concluding bell of life tolls
Deeper than the sound of silence
Beyond this life, into the gates of death
For our love is ripe and now it must decay

This is not a "romatically popular" way to present your thoughts, especially to the "hearts and flowers" traditinalists,but, you know, sometimes the road less traveled is the ONLY road that makes sense for some ideas...

Deputy Dave Jenkins investigates the murder of local high school principal, Jerry Egge, but this is a multi-faceted novel that deals with spiritualism, romance, friendship, and children who fall through the cracks.
"Murder isn't usually this
The gifted and fascinating Urban Poet, Asa D Seeley, once again speaks. He introduces a New Genre of Poetry...Reality Confrontation. Juxtaposed with Essay and staying true to his unique style, Asa brings a breath of...fresh air...to the world of poet
