After a long storm at night, the sun has come to shine while my hair has started growing grey in cold, so what is the joy of going out in the sun while you are not at the destination in sunshine?

Oh love, please make me pure, let me be one in a million, the kiss akin to the sun, the taste like the rainbow; let me be the moon over the roof, the star in a heart of one in the million, one in the million.

Quotes / Are You Willing
Yes I agree with you on that quote. A great love normallu against the odds. I wrote this sometime ago and I think this is what u tried to say in your quote, 'To love you In bad in good In all the hard times I will be there for you. And all, and all The ups and downs In life I risk for you I risk for you. To love you All weathers In shine in rain In breeze in storm I stand by you I stand by you. To love you I let you go For all your bliss Without me For all my tears Without you. 01.10.2004, 1:...

Poetry / Lost Souls
It is an excellent structure and good choice of words, I like the words in this writings like 'thousand', 'billion', 'trillion' followed by each different objects/ subjects. However, the ending of the poem or the message of this writing is really really disappoiting and it destroys the good feeling about the poem from the beginning. Just like watching a bad movie from Hollywood and wasted our money and times for it. It's nothing in deep, nor surprising, nor inspiring for an end like that and ...
Poetry / The World of You
I think this writing is on wordplay which can be very clever, however, it lacks of depth in this attempt here. My first question after reading and trying to understand it is - How kind is the person - 'you' so that if 'If the world were peopled/ with kind people like you/ then .../ ... the right kind of people/ ? The character and the quality of 'you' are not given nor suggested here, so I would have to say that this attempt of wordplay is failed. However, keep writing. Thank you. Cheers.
Poetry / Winter's Kiss
I think this writing is meant to be and is made to be romantic, as I can see that in the repeated line - This started in a winter's kiss. However, I feel that this line is overdone after the third repeatation when I cannot see how this line can help to shape and help the meaning/ content of each stanza. And then I find the last line is rather scary for someone to be loved - I’ll tear away this skin and wear you forever As I would not love someone who will tear my skin away and wear me forever...
