Feelings

Argue with Honour, or don’t

If you disagree with something I’ve said, and you challenge my words, my position, even the factual basis on which I argue, I’ll respect you, even if I continue to disagree with you.

If, on the other hand, you choose to attack me in an effort to get me to stop expressing my opinion not only will you fail, but I’ll lose all respect for you, both personally an intellectually.

If all you have is attacking your opponents then you have NOTHING, you position is unsupported, you are, by the admission of your own actions, definitively and absolutely WRONG. Why else would you stoop to such an intellectual low, except that you know you are defeated. It is an intellectual Hail Mary, but without any of the grace, honour or bravery.

The Space Inbetween Us

The words that you say,
The looks that you give,
The smile that lights up your face.

The way that you lean,
The turn of your head,
The moment that speaks to us both.

The songs that you sing to,
The prose that you quote,
The poems you read that I wrote.

It’s all in the air,
In the spaces between us,
You feel what I feel,
And I know how you care.

Your needs and your wants,
Fit neatly to mine,
The closeness we feel,
seems to grow all the time.

Whitley said it best,
But you say it all,
Your heart,
speaks directly,
to mine.

You Lit A Fire In My Heart

Coz I’m burning up it ain’t no joke,
And all my cells are going rogue!
Caught up in a blaze with no way out.
And as my self-control goes up in smoke,
One more hit, I get so stoked that I,
I’m glowing in the dark,
You lit a fire in my heart!

— Simple Plan

Magic Touch

Once in a lifetime,
You find that power,
To break out and run from the devils deep clutch.
All that you need,
It’s the finest hour,
Is to believe in the magic touch.

— Mike Oldfield

The Feeling Unspoken

Everyday I see your face,
Right here on my screen,
Everyday I feel your touch,
Right here on my skin,
Everyday I hear your laugh,
Right here in my head,
Everyday I feel your love,
Right here in my heart.

Your voice,
In my thoughts,
Your eyes,
In my mind,
Your scent,
In my dreams,
Your presence,
In my arms.

I long to talk,
But have no words to say,
I crave your presence,
Almost every day,
You captivate and astound me,
How have I come your way?

Tongue-tied by your beauty,
Silenced by your smile,
Sustained by your laughter,
Buoyed up by your words.

I feel what I feel,
Though I don’t have the lines,
My heartfelt intentions,
Hide nothing behind,
I go quiet for moments,
When you’d like my words,
But my heart shouts my feelings,
Through the silence it is heard.

Quote

Everyday

Everyday seems a little longer
Every way love’s a little stronger
Come what may
Do you ever long for true love from me

— Buddy Holly

Inspiration

I can’t do it…
I’m here.
I don’t think I can…
I’ll support you.
Perhaps I can consider…
I am with you.

I can.

The thought terrifies,
Your words calm.
The prospect is too daunting,
Your voice relaxes.

A future of challenges,
Of pledges and changes,
The road is rough, narrow and hard,
And long, so long.

You support and console,
You soothe and unwind,
The thoughts I can’t cope with,
Just melt to your touch.

You motivate and spur,
To the next threat confronted,
The peril diminished,
At the sight of your face.

And when the day is done,
All foes subdued,
I can say with no doubt,
That you inspired me.

Always being there…

“How can you do it?” I’m asked, “You are the one who needs help, an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, someone to be your friend. How can you always be there for everyone else?”

It’s simple of course, being there for someone takes so little, a short time, a few minutes on the phone, a short drive. It’s no real effort. And the results, the effect it has, can, sometimes, be so profound, not to just never occurs to me!

Being there for yourself, on the other hand, is very hard. When you’ve had all you can take, when life hands you another spoonful of hateful, hurtful, painful, just plain life… It seems like nothing could overcome your pain, your troubles, your hurt.

By comparison, from your perspective, other peoples problems are such a relief from your own thoughts, and if you can help someone, perhaps, just maybe, you can get some respite, an all too brief moment of calm, peace, tranquility. Perhaps even the chance to sleep? Well, lets not over-reach…

“How can I do it?” My answer, “How can I not? Someone needs me, it’s the one thing I can do, and do well. Everything else around me is crumbling to dust. This I can do, I can make a difference, and reduce the world’s pain, even if only a little. And perhaps the universe will notice that I’ve got more than my share at the same time…”
