If I

If I count a star each time I think of you I paint a sky of wishes in midnight silver blue If I watch the orange sunset each time i yearn for you I reach beyond the horizon and find the heaven's hue If a pick a flower each time I dream of you my garden never blossoms throughout the whole year through

Pretty and sweet, and it has got a fairly good rhythm too. I don't see how you came up with this. Even though it is short, adding more would take away from the charm. What's it like in Malta? It looks rather small to me.

The power and magic of love's ability to transform our lives shines in this lovely poem, Charma. Je suis malade, mon ami. It's getting worse now, but friends like you give me the will to keep fighting. Love, Carolyn

The emotions which we experience when we are falling in love are almost enough to set off fireworks. Love is a powerful emotion and one which most of us will luckily have the pleasure to experience at some point in our lives. Love knows no boundaries and it will infect anyone irregardless of one's race, stature, age or intelligence. Love is possibly one of the most powerful natural drugs available for us to experience. It is raw emotion at it's best and it is out there trying to find you.
