others may have wine, i have poetry

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.

all it takes

Sometimes
Happiness gives space for little else

One person makes the others bearable

One word makes the rest unimportant

One smile makes the tears worth it

One piece of truth fades the lies away

One hug makes pain less painful

One message makes my day

One flame banishes darkness

One you - makes me believe in good..
