I came with stars and bangles --
you set me in a corner.
I sang sweet lyrics, -- your dog
did not approve. We kissed,
our imitation – The doorbell rang
and we both leaped to answer.

When I add water to the birdbath each morning, lots of bees show up to take drinks while birds approvingly tweeting. The little colorful love-birds are the bravest, flapping around me while in my connected process. Water, birds, bees, dogs, fleas...somehow it all works out for the best when each does its small part.

"The rain can kiss you sweetly. The rain can beat on you. Yes, even the rain can sing you a lovely lullaby to sleep."
|
Love is like a song: sweet and lasting.
|
I write in the Chiaroscuro between tenderness and truth, following the glow that rises where shadow meets light. My voice lives in that threshold, where sweetness deepens into ache and honesty becomes its own kind of illumination.

A spellbinding story interrupts reality
sweetening it’s bitter coffee.

So much of what we taste in life is bittersweet ... I'm not surprised when we crave the cake and candy too.

Marriages fail because they are either taken too seriously or taken for granted. They should be taken rather like coffee – not too cold and not too hot. If too bitter, should be sweetened a little with sugar. If too dark, should be lightened a little with milk. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

It’s like buying a classic car that’s clocked half a million miles. Still polished, sounds sweet when you start it up, but push it too hard and the engine just can’t take the strain. Looks might still turn heads, but under the bonnet, the wear and tear tells a different story.

"People-pleasing is the sweetest way to self-sabotage."
|
"The sweetest lies told are promises."

"If you really wanted to taste the Pilgrim of Life, you must lick the bitterness of failure, drink the water of patience, work very harder and wait for the diffusion of the sweetest Pilgrimage upon your tongue."

"Be the sweet amongst the savoury."
|
Often the poet declaring too much. We are tempters, sweets and wine -- allow the reader to go deeper, passing the rein to his core of our rhyme.

There will always be people for whom (no matter how sweet the blessings), the cup is half empty. For these chronic pessimists, I say try the power of two P-words: first and foremost; prayer, and secondly; positive thinking. Focus on the blessings God has given, and even though the cup may not be running over, give thanks for the portion that is half full. Things could always be worse!

I heard a bird singing in the morn' on a bitter cold winter day- it was so sweet and magical.
|
Just a simple little ditty, not too long and not so witty, but a feel-good sweet refrain that I’m proud of all the same.
|
Love should be so sweet it makes a cavity.

Thank God. There's a standard: good or bad, right or evil, sweet or sour. Hebert Logerie

“Friendship is one of life's sweetest fruits”... By Emile Pinet.

You are so sweet so gucci my love.

"Money like honey is sweet to taste but money can sting you."
|
Without luck, intelligence is sour. is similar to unsweetened coffee.
|
I sense imminent danger even before they tickle my naiveness with sweet cunning. I avoid being friendly with any stranger I meet by weighting out the consequences.
|
P.S. our coffee conversations are bitter sweet...
|
So forever With tears in my eyes, I Will Say love is such a sweet sorrow That I will Grave in My heart your name Till It will be Morrow Forevermore- Christen Kuikoua
|
Life is sweet in a flower garden.
|
Memories are the sweetest recompense when faced with imminent death.

It's Never too Late
to talk your heart out, with true friends,
to embrace yourself, with own hands,
to reach out your folks, with sweet words,
to blow away criticism, that’s placed on you,
to smile with optimism, when world turns away,
to admire yourself, the way you are,
And to aspire your vision, with the decision to inspire.
