the grave is our destiny
where none whatsoever can be changed
it's a wholesome place all to yourself
and nothing accompanying you but the wind
you hear nothing, not even their tears
that builds up from rivers to oceans
if only it was said before your destiny
perhaps it'd have made a difference
now you're all alone sad and forlorn
a world only you can dwell
but I know deep in my heart
everything you've had is remembered well
oh rest my love, soon I'll be there
where fate crossed not in this life
but somewhere love knows no bounds
and our love once more entwined

Rivers of tears running
On the faded wool
Clutched on my shivering
Pale body, weakening
Ingrained with a malady
With no cure
Yet the reassuring hope
And lovely thought
Of my serene childhood
While's yet refuses to part
On the body that turns to dust
Like twisted limbs of my memories
Trying to reach and remold
The foundation of my youth
And as the counsel is cast
Upon the shores of eternity
While the fortress of my will
Is fading into oblivion
The anguish of DEATH escapes
One more time as I
Witness the birth of a new morn
If only to breath one more day..

My dearest love
When I'm in your arms
My hearts at home
When I look into your eyes
My heart melts
When were hand and hand
It's only you and me
You're a man who can bring me to my knees
I haven't felt a love like yours
I feel so safe
No other man could take your place
My sweetest skip
Know your in my blood
Your in my soul
Let this love story continue to unfold
All my love
Xx

Your wit and brilliance
Your sense of humor unhinged
You made us all laughed, cried
And even dance
Now you're gone
This place mourning in your absence
Could it be that there's a chance
You'll be back
Even just for a glance?
I know you knew we loved you
Adored and even venerated you
As a friend, brother, and perhaps
Even as a lover
Please remember you'll always be
In our hearts
You're not far away
Your writes, your lines
Will forever grace this place
We will always be near you.
We love you Cafe.
May you forever rest in peace.

A thousand steps,
walking a crooked fence,
full of barbs,
wires, and hacked limbs.

The rhythm of life
mirrors those famous daffodils
swaying to the tune of the wind.
Bending without breaking.
Needing only the sun and breeze.
Homo sapiens, a different breed.
Forever wanting this and that.
Having through time
developed an overwhelming greed.
Grey no trace of soft yellows.
All will sadly end one day.
Not so the yellow daffodils.
The fields will be full
with their gentle rhythms,
the swaying of golden heads
in the breeze of life.

Connecting Singles is a website for singles to connect.
Connecting is hard as there are so many barriers.
If you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, these barriers hinder any connection.
Not all connections will be a “love connection”, but 99% will dismiss another instead of being friends.
Most of the time friendship last longer than a love connection.
Connecting singles is only the name of this website and 99% of the time it does not work for the intended audiences.
So let the singles enjoy this website to post read and pass the time.
!!!!!!!!Yeah for Connecting Singles!!!!!!

Walking out one sunny day
Straight into a full blown storm
I opened the door of were my family dwells
Feeling the full almighty blast of angry yells
Oh boy I was spotted so could not retreat
So, sat still, mouth closed, which I thought was neat
I got that wrong too, as they all turned on me
Spitting angry words, getting it all out you see
Still stum, I got up to move to the door
They blocked my way accidentally knocking me to the floor
Now dam what a mess I was in
I had not a clue about all the din
Then it hit me like a force gail
I had not changed address for my business mail
There by the door a knee high pile
Were all my letters I had not filed
My business was going down the pan
For unanswered mail brought the reaper man
My family rightly upset, trying to cover for me
And where was I, on a shopping spree
All this realization made me very sad
Yes I had behaved very bad
Luckily for me, I awoke from this nightmare
Promising myself to be more family fair

Sitting here behind my window,
watching the anger of the rain
pelting down as if in pain.
The wind doing its best
to blow it over the hills
to the forest in the west.
My latter years spent pondering
sitting here watching the world go by.
Memories pouring as fast
as the rain, into my brain.
Had it all been worthwhile?
Such negative thoughts for me,
myself, always full of new adventures.
Had I enjoyed this ride?
I can only say, there is more to come.
So cannot truthfully answer.
As the rain pelts down,
cleaning my windows,
giving me a clearer view.

we laughed, we fought, we made up
that's what we did and more
we learned many a things, did we not?
we discovered so much about this world
we drank our tears, we swallowed our pride
oh what a journey, we dug into the past
one glitz and it vanished, our focus got distracted
now we are separated, our friendship ended
but such is life, mysterious as the pyramids
we might have a little knowledge of what was and ifs
but the truth is, we're so weak and flawed
in our quest we'd never succeed
I am thinking, what a waste of my efforts and my hopes
if only words don't hurt, I'd be a glorious walk
tonight I might dream, it's all an illusion
might as well be for I am ready for the new morn
but what if....that's only a question
