&quot;Truth without love is a killer, but love without truth is a liar. The Bible commands us to have both: It says to speak the truth in love.&quot;--Elliott Nesch<br /> &quot;To love another person is to see the face of God.&quot;--Victor Hugo

Over coffee, we talk about everything under the star-lit sky.
Is notice you're just as temperate, the least bit bitter. Fervently, the embers provide solace, truth aflame at the center of my being...Truly, most sincerely...
Dreams, secrets, fears--known, fulfilled, stifled, and thrown past the moon's purview. Over coffee, yesterday, tomorrow are lost in oblivion. Now is Eternal, so says your smiling eyes.

The crashing brine--so cold, engulfing my feet--steals my breath and carries it to a distant shore.
A laugh to the heavens! Tis sweet!
Is this--Love?--Forever?
Nay, Heaven is so much more.
Alas, this satisfies my wayfaring heart...
