The Selfish Side of Love
17 Jan“Love is Kind”
“Love is Joy”
Love is Selfless.
With love, though comes its mate. Its match. Its darling.
And To be loved. That is ‘I.’
To be loved is greedy.
To be loved is lonely.
To be loved is desperate.
To be loved.
To be the center of someone’s universe.
To be the one they call first. And last.
To be thought of.
To be treasured.
To be missed.
To be remembered
To be kissed. Not just as a kiss, but as the kiss.
To be the final lover. The final date. The final crush.
To be their ‘one and only.’
To be the one they can’t get over.
To be the one they gaze at and can’t look away from.
To be the one that makes them stumble over words.
To be the muse behind the painting. The memory before the poem. The spark within the book. The note that caused the song.
To be the one they lie beside when life has come and gone.
To be the one they’ll never leave.
To be the one who gets their love. To be loved.
Each of us desperate.
Lonely.
Greedy.
Each wanting to be loved with the love of legends.
After all. . . . .
Love is loyal.
Love is faithful.
Love is gentle.
Love is precious.
Love sees no flaws. Love finds no faults.
Love is kind.
Love is joy.
Love is selfless.
To be loved . . . . oh . . . . to be loved.
Wanting and being Wanted
8 DecLove is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.

Do What you Love
30 MarFor, verily, great love springs from great knowledge of the beloved object, and if you little know it, you will be able to love it only little or not at all.

Best Friends Forever
17 MayI was born in the Year of the Chinese snake. This means that what I have loved becomes mine. And what is mine I love forever. This is my Kristin, and I loved her since my earliest memories. My Best Friend Forever! For those of you out there with a childhood best friend, say hello to them today if you can!
Annabel Lee
10 Mar
I wanted my Poetry students to see how Poetry is supposed to sound–not as flat words read off a page, but with the emotions of the author. There are alternative theories as to the identity of Annabel Lee, but this is the more common belief, and the one I personally subscribe to.
