			<title>Timeless Echoes</title>
			<description>Nineteen years, a silent reverie,In the first glance, love eternally.Paths diverged, twelve years untold,Yet in my heart, her story unfolds.Her image, a painting in memory&amp;rsquo;s hall,A timeless echo, despite life&amp;rsquo;s thrall.Thoughts of her, a constant refrain,A love that defies..</description>

			<title>UNDETERRED ME...</title>
			<description>The man with a million dreams,some fulfilled, some unrequited,some washed away in teary streams. The man with a lion heart,has loved, has lostand has even been torn apart. The man with an undying soul,that lived and died,yet remains it's whole. Fulfilled or not,I dare to dream again.Accepted or deni..</description>

			<description>The man in the mirror,&amp;nbsp;when he's staring back at me,with questions in his eyes,about what is it I see.The mask that he wears is fading,wilting away and weaning.The cracks begin to show,the porcelain loosing it's meaning.&amp;nbsp;The hopeful eyes deranged,the painted smile now smudged.The crafted y..</description>

			<title>Inamorata intoxication..........</title>
			<description>That shimmering elixir of life,poured into my glass.A taste of the uninhibited,awaits beyond my impasse.Like a devious mistress,tantalizing me in sultry ways.Demanding intimacy with my lips,to embalm me in moonshine haze.All it takes is a kiss,from this conniving paramour,burning my insidesand the c..</description>

			<title>Painting with words...</title>
			<description>Feelings that I pouron an empty page,always conjure the same image... As ink entwineswith cold raw parchment,the picture so conceivedreminiscences of an immemorial attachment... Words that I writeslowly flicker and wane, they blend into a facethat helms my love domain... My poetry is your paintingon..</description>

			<title>Indubitable love...</title>
			<description>You were my sonnet,my symphony...The music of my love,my melody... You, the perfect lyrics,to our song...Me, the music, to blend along... You loved me, so deep, so perfectly... I'm yours to keep,for eternity... You were my dream,my destiny...The meaning to my being,my identity...  I still love you, ..</description>

			<description>Hey YOU... Yes YOU!Clandestinely following me here.What do you see? A shipwreck, a carcass,the tombstone of unrequited love and misery... YOU there...yes I'm talking to YOU...!As YOU wonder, delving deeper into a buried memory... That face YOU forgot,the man YOU once loved,with whom entwined was YOU..</description>

			<title>Lost in my truth...Trapped in your lies.......</title>
			<description>The lights haven't been as bright as they used to be,nor are the rains as moist.The sun isn't as warm as it was,now that you just aren't &quot;that&quot; close to me.Everything around me is so still,time seems to have come to a halt.There is silence even within the noises,and weakness in my &quot;used to be strong..</description>

			<title>Locked up</title>
