WELCOME
..and here are a few things to keep in mind:

This blog contains mostly my poetry and a few thoughts from time to time. The thoughts will be entered when and wherever I feel necessary to keep things in proper order. Thoughts and things not belonging to me will be denoted with asterisks. Poems will be archived by the date which they were written, not by that which they were posted. I tend to update things a month or few after being written so as to keep current issues from wandering unattended around the web.

Enjoy...

Youthful Dating

All relationships have an end.
You break-up, you die, you marry,
One of the three,
There is no inbetween.
It all ends in death,
but in the meantime, we must love...

To love and have that love
come to an end
Is an unbelievable pain.
To love is to marry and
To be unable to marry so young
leaves us at an uncertain stalemate.

Where is the point in youthful dating
Is it all a game?
Could it ever last?

It gives us someone to love,
Someone to hold,
Someone to break our, oh so delicate, heart.

Is it really worth
All that is endured?

Your poem truly speaks to me. For I have wondered many times is love truly worth the pain that follows, and my answer to you is yes. Love in its purest form is the rarest thing in the unvirves. For only one person has ever shown us true love, and that person is Jesus Christ. We may try to feel what we beleive to be is love, but we are unable to truly understand its power. Pure love washed away our sins and saved us from hell. So I ask you a question. Can such a good thing bring pain? Keep up the good work
