Premium Member That Heart On Your Sleeve

That Heart on Your Sleeve 

It is very sad to see a situation where a person or any
person ends up wearing his or her heart on their sleeve.

In the end, the expression, “wearing that heart of yours on
your sleeve” does seem to be a big ditto in human society.

When love and emotions come into conflict it can be quite
easy for someone, man or woman, to have their heart broken. 

Unfortunately, this is always a possibility of sorts when two
people meet and they end up falling “head over heels” in love.

Feelings of utter loneliness and the cruelty of another person
may end up destroying a relationship that once had promise.

It takes “two to tango” in any love relationship and especially
in a marriage where people in love must learn to live together.

Some couples are successful and some others are not, but that’s
the real situation in any relationship involving love and emotions.

Beware of anyone who should tell you differently about any state
of affairs concerning “that heart on your sleeve.” Be cautious!! 

Life is short in human terms, but a real love between two people
in an ethereal and eternal sense could last forever. Good Luck!! 

And, in the end, only Almighty God knows all of this for sure.
I certainly hope so!! Amen.

A Love Connection

never go to sleep on anger
keep the lines of communication open and clear
be receptive to what each other has to say
even if it's not something you want or need to hear

remember it's no longer only just you
you're not in this all by yourself
you're now husband & wife, man & woman
in sickness and in health

marriage requires a lot of work
consider this now your primary role
for it takes two to tango
and two halves to make a whole

you have found your true mate, the other half of your soul
put all others to the wayside
trust in each other and the faith you have in your shared love
and then sit back and enjoy the ride

The Lord has blessed you both
with a glorious love connection
so just keep believing in each other
and may you have a union just short of perfection

Premium Member When I'M Old- -

When I'm old...
I'm gonna have a tree house cave
When I'm old...
I'm going to be  a lazy margarita lizard
playing with little baby sea serpents
And writing poems and verses on chalkboard
Oh, and when I'm old...
Aquarius my sign  sweet'N sour
I'll lotus easy peasy
Key lime the blue moon
While washing Orion's pearl
When I go old..
I'll sing a whale song
I'll whirlpool four-leaf clovers
Frost salmon it takes two to tango
In your eyes wax seal, blush babbling brook
And after when I'm old
I shalt be not dead yet alive
In heaven be gettin my praise on...
talkin to God and Jesus eating manna-watermelon
At the golden gates
For when your in heaven you're never dead
You're rebirth, reborn ever praising God forever

A Love Connection: Angel & Nelson

never go to sleep on anger 
keep the lines of communication open and clear
listen to what each other has to say

remember it's no longer only about you
you're not in this all by yourself
you're now husband & wife, man & woman 
in sickness and in health

marriage requires a lot of work
so consider this now your primary role
for it takes two to tango
and two halves to make a whole
as a husband Nelson it's mostly up to you
to keep the romance feeling brand new
and as a wife Angel you know your position
is to help Nelson make a smooth transition

you have found your soul mate, you have found your best friend
and may the love and faith you have in each other endure til the end
and just make sure that trust is the glue
that keeps your relationship binding and true
always respect each other and always give each other some space
and never forget to thank God daily for His infinite grace
the Lord has blessed you both with a marvelous love connection
so keep believing in each other and may you have a union just short of perfection

From Sea To Sky

When you don't see love,
Just go to the sea.
Make the sea breeze
As your love letter,
To send your love for free.
The sea is vast as ocean
So as love is simple,
Yet so unfathomable.
The heart is one foot
In between your head,
Yet so far at a distance,
So deeply felt unrestrained.
The mind is green when tame
While heart is red in passion,
To determine what is mystery. 
Like the sea sometimes troubled,
Yet so gentle as the giant.
Love is peaceful as plain desert,
Tranquil yet so desolate to solve.
It needs two people to humble,
The troubled water by shared force.
By looking at distance shore,
Start paddling is a step to go there.
Where heart is poor the mind is willing.
It takes two to tango and dance the wind.
This sea of life is love to a brave.
The shore is way up there,
To get love and life the best.
Whose nerve never give up is strong,
To the sky the bravest we all belong.

Take a Chance

Take a chance.


Send me a sign, to show me how you feel,
And I'll return my message to you, in a little while.
I'm taking the first step, but it takes two to tango,
So what do you think, shall we dance with each other?
Will you become my lover and my lay with me tonight?
Or shall I leave you to these people and not be by your side?


You see, I'm the one who made you smile,
And you told me that it's been a while,
Since you remember being happy and thinking like this,
But I too harbour the bad memories, that come with this thing.


But if I can take the risk, then I'm sure you can too,
If you can't, I understand, I've been there too darling.
Those crazy misspent days and those long winter nights,
Left us happy and content 
And we were always happy when we weren't crying.


But times stands still for no man and it's time for me to leave,
I've got to leave you here alone now, 
So you can breathe a sigh of relief.
You may want things to be different, 
But I'm a ghost ship passing by,
The guy you thought you made a connection with, 
In the blink of an eye and an awkward smile.


In that moment I saw you truly, 
As you wished no-one could see you right now,
With your guard down and you hair messed up, 
You shone so bright like a nuclear cloud.
An explosion in my heart and then you were gone,
Tomorrow you may not remember me, 
But you shall not be forgotten.


A single smile, with your red hair in the wind,
Reminded me of what could be, if I changed a few things,
And forgot those bad memories, that have now engulfed me.
They keep me here trapped, letting nobody in.


I'm willing to risk it all and lay here at your disposal,
To dispose of at your dissatisfaction, 
But to keep while I'm still useful.
Until the day comes when you disappear into the night,
Then like a candle blowing in the wind, 
Your love will walk out of my life.


But the pains we have endured, shall become our cure,
Make us stronger this time; we can do it for sure.
Just one girl and one boy, how hard can it be?
It's as easy to do as you’re A,B,Cs.

Marriage: a Meeting of the Minds

marriage is a partnership and you both will come to find
that communication is basis when it comes to a meeting of the minds
Trevor be kind to Zetoria and support her in every aspect in life
she's the one that God sent to you, your soulmate, your wife
Zetoria be patient with Trevor as men have such sensitive souls
and in all things work with him and let your husband thinks he's in control

It takes two to tango, it takes two to make it right
remember you're both disciples of Christ and on you both He shines His light
talk to each other and always be open-minded to what each other has to say
it might not always be what you want to hear so on it don't forget to pray
 marriage that institution that God put into place
a meeting of the minds full of His mercy, wisdom and grace

Take two to tango

2025.04.28
It takes two to tango.
It is very true, if you believe otherwise,
You are naive and a simple minded soul.
It applied to all the keeping promises too.
I made so many on my own will,
Devotedly to someone I loved, adored or idolatry
Ended up breaking my promises frivolously and painfully.
That was because I wanted the very best,
Of the life for the person I liked.
Unfortunately, they could not imagine what I could.
They didn't appreciate what I prepared for them.

It takes two to tango, I believe so.
One person in full control to navigate gently,
The other submissively respect the guide through partnership.
They should appreciate the wonderful and melancholy moment.
The music and the rhymth in the background.
The twirls, arches, kicks and the lifts
The choreography may include hug, groove and sweep,
Be authentic, exotic, seductive of contacts or gestures.
All nicely sashayed by the two devoted dancers.

My late friend AP, accordingly to his word,
He loved music, singing and ballroom dance floor.
Where he picked up beautiful single young girls.
He and I had huge gaps in age,
Impossible to do tango or any other moves.
We had the serious wish in our mind,
But different in height and the physical fitness.
Deter our dream to be dancing partners.

BB has two left feet, good with fingers,
Constantly sit at the desk surf on internet.
I loved to have one dance with him,
Swayed to the sound of the drum's beats.
That could only happened in my wildest dream.

Last but not least, came along Mr Vanish
Who could have been quite a suitable candidate.
Possessed perfect figure in height, build, and appearances,
But I couldn't afford with his vanishing proclivity,
Despite there might have mutual passions and desires,
He couldn't be trusted in any dancing styles.

Therefore, inarguably, it really takes two to tango,
It requires the two could act as one,
Whether with full body contact or partially embracing,
The body, mind and movements together as one.
It takes both body and mind to perform.
Simple and or complicated dance patterns.

Premium Member Learn To Dance

I thought I knew it all about you.
I thought love was the comfort of holding familiar hands.
I finished your sentences.
I knew what you were going to say.
I knew what you liked, did not like as well.
But, as a mutual know-all pair, we became bored. 
Everything was so predictable. 
We became pair of loafers.
We had shut the door on discovery and curiosity.
The joy and exhilaration of the quest
to find out more about each other had withered. 
The familiarity we once craved to build our love
had unknowingly led to love languishing
in knowable surfeit.
Love had stalled, gone cold and stale.
It takes two to tango,
better still, 
two to learn to dance.

Oh, What A Tangled Interweb We Weave

Don't like the look of what's going on
seems to you something's wrong
the smell of corruption in the air
look around it's everywhere
can't place the feel of what's happening here
could it be something to fear
the sound of conniving on the wind
a warning call for all thin-skinned
so round and round and round we go
where it stops no one knows
it takes two to tango or so they say
but that was then not today
ask a question and they hand you
the same old automated two-step quango
one foot forward two steps back
while standing in quicksand
pose a query they'll sidestep the issue
and the matter at hand
giving you the light fandango
they'll look you in the eye and deny
it's all a web within a web
behind a web of total lies
