Just one small way to wish you all a wonderful Valentine Day coming up. If I could, I would send chocolate and flowers to all of you, thus the picture is the best I could do under the circumstances.

I did this two years ago and thought it would be great to bring it back at least once more.

Some of you have never seen this, some have, and others still, missed it completely. And some of you have taken sabbaticals from Prose. But I did my best to remember all of those who have been to my pages and I, theirs. I may not have the best of memories, but I do try to remember those who have filled blank pages with words worth reading.

I tried to find songs that would have your name or a portion of your name in the song, or perhaps an artist with your name or portion of. Honestly, it didn’t work out for all of you, but I would like to think the intent is there. Most are in English and there are a very few that aren’t.

I do hope this brings a smile.

Just scroll down until you find you.

… and sorry guys, you are on your own and will have to make do the best you can! But of those of you married, engaged, or dating, I wish you and your better half a great Valentine Day as well.

… oh, and one last thing, if there are one or two of you I left songs for that isn’t female, sorry about that, but some nicks are hard to determine without asking and that could be considered rude and besides, this was to be a surprise!

Also, if you feel I may have left you out, please let me know and I will add you to this list.

Now that this is in this book, it will be easy to find when you want to come back to it.,or save the link to your bookmarks.

Thinking on all this ... this could be the consummate list of music ever!

Happy Valentine Day to ye one and all!

“Alcohol is poison.”

“If it’s poison, then why do you drink it?”

“Because there are things inside of me that I need to kill.”

I write because, similar to this scene in which Charlie Sheen from Two and a Half Men is (yes, incredibly intoxicated but) hitting rock bottom with self-deprecating humor, I am also leaning over the toilet of life, reacting on impulses yet contributing what I hope are illuminating sentences and tidbits of wisdom to an audience of viewers who will hopefully understand what I’m trying to say.

What Charlie Sheen is conveying in this scene is more than just a funny throw-away; to me, writing is something I come back to in order to kill the demons, to illuminate my addictions and faults, and to hope that someone out there will laugh, but also understand.

Shall I compare thee to chocolate?

Thou art more yummy & freshly ground

Really you shake all my ev’ry thoughts

& sometimes I end up longin’ you mo’

Sometime you are just too sexy honey

And oft’ I have to try not to kiss you

And every time my love for you grows

By chance or perhaps it will stop O no

But thy love for thee’s unconditional

Nor will it cease come rain, or sunshine

Nor shall death keep us apart my dear.

When in eternal unbreakable bond

So long as we shall live, ‘n’ breathe,

So long thy heart’ll ev’r beat for thee.

#SONNET (c)

(O Shakespeare~ how did thee come up with sonnet 18?)

22.09.2020 (Mardi)

The life

Of a flower

Is to wilt

To die

And so

To live

Again

it's been too long

these feelings-

they're swirling

inside of me

rainbows and butterflies

downpours and bitter coffee

i think

it's time

to set

them

free

ready or not, here i come.
