Made me feel sad and a fearful of the future.

ANNUAL APOLOGY . . . .
Over the past few months I have forwarded some inappropriate pictures and jokes to friends
who I thought shared the same sense of humour. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case and
I seem to have upset quite a few people who have accused me of being sexist and shallow.
If you were one of these people, please accept my sincerest apologies.

Looking to 2013 onward, I will only post or send e-mail with a cultural or educational content
such as old monuments, nature and other interesting topics.

Below is a picture of the Pont Neuf Bridge in Paris.
It is the oldest bridge in Paris and took 26 years to build. It was completed in 1604...

OH ****!!!! WHERE DID SHE COME FROM????

ROFL!!! loved it!!!

Hello Soul, I'm impressed with your writing skill and your spiritual message. Really liked this one.

I want some of that feeling! Healthy.

I have friends and relatives that have had bad experiences and have decided to divide world along racial lines.

It is painful to watch.

Ah my old friends Ainjel and Mig, thank you! Sadly, Work keeps me away from the boards, but I hope to devote more time writing, reading, and responding.

thank you!

Hey, i liked this one. Something to think about.

painful and touching. also I liked this:


where did this come from?

an innocent child
a woman's body
i hear your voice

your infectious laugh
soothes my soul
radiating love and beauty
forgiver, healer, and lover
from above

often in mind
you thoughts become mine
changing who I am
how do you work this magic?

lock and key
exciting and precious
sincerity, love, acceptance
i feel a special connection

desire alone does no good
on earth you are lost
in real danger and in need
dare I sacrifice
to try and rescue thee?

a real relationship?
there are far and few
we remain, we maintain
together we are alone

if there's a spark
we want to capture
we want to contain
and save for later
we want control
we want security
we want guarantee
what happens to love?

not what i imagined
our plan together
it's not a garden
it's a strip of concrete
to throw on top of life
to build a future
which becomes a tomb
something to be proud of

let's write the eulogy
in memory of love
and make it perfect
we'll take our time
but finish later
we're all too busy

this is love
on planet earth

I really like this one a lot Athena. I like the way you can stand up for yourself, and the way you effectively communicate your message. People that try to do their best in life don't deserve attacks.

thank you!

What she said. I really appreciated this poem. I think most of us relate to it well!

These lines are amazing. Fantastic finish.

the most absurd play
unfolds in my head
in action
that will never take place
before an audience
that does not exist

Thank you both so much for your kind replies

from distant origins
each has a path
from afar paths
come together
destined to intersect

perchance
a meeting place
a collision
a surprise
an exchange
of energy

tantalizing synergy
focused to a point
the creation of worlds
which could not exist before

but paths that intersect
are doomed to separate
a keen sense of rending
can inexorably demonstrate

growing distance makes clear
the widening miles
and diverging goals
that take us away again

loneliness is the price
we pay, in full,
for precious knowledge

Marry Samantha but fool around with Genie.
