			<title>Let Me Love Again</title>
			<description>What is it that I can&amp;rsquo;t forget?Why is it that when I feel that I have achieved some degree of sane separation from you, you re-appear in my thoughts?Have you not tormented my soul enough; have you not affected my life in a way that I seem to be unable to repair?Please tell me what it is ..</description>

			<title>Morning Jog</title>
			<description>&amp;nbsp;Out under a rising sun, I breathe in the sea.&amp;nbsp;Panting and breathing, my feet hit the sand hard and fast.&amp;nbsp;Pebbles are kicked and impurities are felt under my feet.&amp;nbsp;But I can&amp;rsquo;t stop moving.&amp;nbsp;I can&amp;rsquo;t stop running.&amp;nbsp;I must continue for my own health and my ow..</description>

			<title>Will of a Character</title>
			<description>There is a modern will to survive, however ambiguous or vague it may be deemed by others. But, like all things it remains relative to the individual who experiences it. &amp;nbsp;It is not something complicated nor is it simple. In fact, one could say it&amp;rsquo;s complicated in its simplicity. It is only..</description>

			<title>How Much?</title>
			<description>How much I wanted to speak the world about you.&amp;nbsp;How much I wanted to hold you close.&amp;nbsp;We stood together so many times that I felt as if my desires were true.&amp;nbsp;I was happy with you near; so pleasant and content I feared not the uncertainty of the world for you and your love was the only ..</description>

			<title>Letter to a Lover</title>
			<description>My old friend,&amp;nbsp;I write this to you because I am torn by the emotions and logic I feel.&amp;nbsp;I cannot begin to explain, yet I want to.&amp;nbsp;I need that ear.&amp;nbsp;Perhaps, not so much a response, but the gentle understanding that can only be achieved through the knowledge that you read this.&amp;..</description>

			<title>One Day</title>
			<description>You hardly remember exactly why.&amp;nbsp;The purpose has since been lost, or perhaps, never really there.&amp;nbsp;It was just impulse.&amp;nbsp;It was one day when you contacted him.&amp;nbsp;It was that one day when you felt compelled to find him; a nostalgic pull for old familiarity.&amp;nbsp;You remember that day...</description>

			<title>Inevitable Encounter</title>
			<description>The sky turned dark as the fog crept in.&amp;nbsp;Yet behind the chill, the sun still glowed.It was only five in the evening.My eyes grew heavy and my body weak.I knew you had arrived.&amp;nbsp;The evening lingeredAs I fought nostalgic pull.When should I leave?&amp;nbsp;I did not know.A murmur..</description>

			<title>Ambient Noise</title>
			<description>To each a soul and to each a heart.It cings so delicately like a drop of rain.The multitude means nothing,and the gaze of one means your whole world&amp;nbsp;Whether you walk or runyou must wait for the other to come.You wait for them to catch up.&amp;nbsp;You want so much to tell them the..</description>
