- Breathless, But Keeping Balance -

           - Hearts are invisible and defenseless when one falls in love -
                                                                                  quote by poet

                              Lost in the charming melody of love
                     Got drenched in the magic of your twilight mist
                             Stole my heart and looting my soul
                          You drew me close to you as a magnet,
                                     just because you could

                        In the vulnerability, the heart was darkened
                                Merciless in crimson selfishness
                                Your demons left me breathless
                              Striving to pursue love and affection
                          - don't let the intrinsic value remain veiled

Duke Beaufort Date: 5/29/2025 7:21:00 AM Anne-Lise, the attraction we feel toward others can really overwhelm our rational side. I wonder if it would be a good idea to teach more about this in school! Some get so badly hurt in this game. I don't know how we can insulate ourselves from our animal nature and desires. It's a challenge. This work could be part of a good lesson on the subject. Smiles!! Login to Reply

David Crandall Date: 5/27/2025 4:48:00 PM Yep, defenseless - good way to put it. I guess love is hard to control and leaves us vulnerable to thieves. Login to Reply
