The Risk of Love ...

The risk of love is loss 

and the price of loss is grief. 

But the pain of grief 

is only a shadow 

when compared with the pain 

of never risking love.

Where Are You Mon Ami?

Where are you dear one? I look for you each day but cannot find a message from you or feel your presence? 
I miss you so much and I am concerned for your health and your well being! 
I hope you are not ill or worse? How would I know? 
Please contact me and let me know how you are? That you are well. I have no way of finding you over the vast distance which separates us. Please take care dear one. 

Much love, Dianne xoxox 

See You Again ...

So let the light guide your way
hold every memory
as you go
and every road you take
will always lead you home.

It's been a long day without you,
my friend
And I'll tell you all about it
when I see you again.

Charlie Otto Puth
From the song: See You Again

From Sonnet LXXXI

No one else, Love,
will sleep in my dreams.
You will go,
we will go together,
over the waters of time.
No one else will travel
through the shadows
with me,
only you, evergreen,
ever sun, ever moon.

Pablo Neruda

For dearest, C.B.

'"Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely is made for the eye of one who sees."

Rumi:

From the Heart...

I am feeling so sad this morning

heartache and longing

for something I can never have...

I wish we had met many years ago

when I was young

and filled with life

sadly my youth has gone

middle age is passing

I am fading

closer to my end of days

than to the beginning...

How wonderful it would have been

To spend a day with you

my hand in yours

so close to you

to go home with you

to stay

to love you

and never have to say Goodbye...

For Dearest C.B.

It's True ...

It’s True
Ay, the pain it costs me
to love you as I love you!

For love of you, the air, it hurts,
and my heart,
and my hat, they hurt me.

Who would buy it from me,
this ribbon I am holding,
and this sadness of cotton,
white, for making handkerchiefs with?

Ay, the pain it costs me
to love you as I love you!

Federico Garcia Lorca
