5A Too long Distance Even only three hours or a phone call away, it is too far! Nothing but right here by my side will suffice for my love.

2Save thee Pure A semi-admotion for my Girlfriend and Wife-to-be.

7A Brand New Machine So my grandfather had his third heart attack and is getting a pace-maker. This is the poem I sent to him with a card. Enjoy! (I know he will)

1Pessimist What would it be like if there was no agency, no freedom of choice, not just a despotic ruler, but real, total and absolute powerlessness, even in our thoughts? In essese, what would it be like to be a drone with only emotions from a creator unfathomable

1Dear Love Read this somewhat like a love letter to an old flame. Emotions from my life and what I think she is feeling, though I dare not go too far in assuming, perhaps life will brings us again to one another.

4Carry You In the Memory of My Heart Sadly, it is over. The love that bloomed, as a rose, has been cut. I am glad to have had her for awhile, to have felt love once again, to have known there is more to life. Maybe the future holds more than this taste... Time will only tell.

1In Memory of Life and Death It all started with an admonition after a recent date, "Drive carefully." It stuck in my head for two days and I thought about what if I (or her) had died driving that night (or any night) and how much it would hurt without the other. Yea, really sad :(

5Fear Nothing I wish I could have this happen everyday. Sitting inside, with the one you love, while the snow is falling with a nice fire going, while candles provide just the right amount of romantic light... yea, that'd be great!

1Hearts Together This is what I feel when I think about her and how our relationsihp has grown.

4Be One Yet again, more poetry about the same girl I can't get out of my head. This one is mostly describing my dual feelings, wishing I wasn't in love while still wanting to be in love.
