A poem by Anonymous I want to love you Like a breeze of cool air Like a lonely sailor kissing land Without a care I want to love you I see you everywhere The sky or through the tree I wish to sit and stare Or love you softly It's your will, and if I dare I'll kiss you slowly I feel it's only fair Let me love you once more I'll show you that I care

A poem by Josiah Findley Every day I think of you. And every single day I Imagine what we could go and see. I want to, yet we can’t. The distance travelled just to Have a 3-hour drive to wait I just don’t want to wait, And I try to remind you, that every drive I make to, Feels too long for I Because the drive just can’t Show the one I come to see Every drive excites me to see But it also makes me wait.

The lies

A Heroic Couplet by Alexander Fosnaugh I have always loved the unlovable Dogs and cats that appeared unsociable The slimy, slithering, slinky snakes and Even hairy spiders that leave you quite stunned They all have their place in life’s great story But you have taught me, I must stay wary You wormed and wriggled into my gullet Down into my soul’s depths you did plummet I cried feeling you deep within my soul I, your personal buffet, you left holes Filled with longing, misery,
