Have you ever looked at someone of the opposite sex dead in the eye. Just straight, smack dab in the eye and just looked. Not a sexual look. Not an intense gaze. Just a look.
Initially, it's awkward. Extremely. If not for you, then for them.
But look at it this way. You get to look in their eyes. The eyes are the windows to the soul. You get to see who they really are. You get to see if their eyes are even worth falling in love with.
And them. Even if they feel awkward, they'll remember the way youlooked at them, and it's going to haunt them. And you will become unforgetable and mysterious. Or, they will look right back and maybe smile. Or maybe, just maybe with a shot of tequila, they'll lean in and ...
Well, you should find out.
I dare you to look.

PERSONAL/LOVE: BACK TO LIFE
In each of our lives, we have those few precious moments where we truly feel alive. And then there's the rest.
Life is a dichotomy, comprised of these two parts... Those fleeting moments where we believe, if only for a few seconds, that we're not alone. And everything else in between.
You were the one who gave me this opportunity. It's more than just an experience. It's a strong, overpowering force that takes over and transforms you. You become the feeling. Suddenly, your idea of life is changed forever.
Those dull moments that occupied the majority of your time are now replaced with sweeping highs and crashing lows.
And then it's all over. How do you come back from that? Back to the life you once had, before you knew of this alternate realm of existence. It's never quite the same.

PERSONAL/LOVE: IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOMEBODY
It's like, I understand that some people are objectively attractive. Symmetrical faces or nice hair or 'good' bodies, right? But then I'm just like, 'Yeah, okay. They're good looking. woman.' I don't care. And then I'll see someone with like, that one thing I can not resist and it's not even a thing most people would find attractive. Maybe it's dark eyebrows or a certain type of smile. Most people would go, 'Really? That?' Meanwhile, I am on fire.
Despite the sun, shinning down to drench me in its warm loving rays. Despite the rain, with its temperamental raindrops that could sooth my soul with gentle little kisses, or screams alongside me with droplets plowing into the cement like speeding bullets. Despite the flowers, whose iridescent petals shine with the blinding color spectrum of the air we breathe. Despite the stars, hanging in the sky like diamonds scattered into an abyss of breathless beauty. Despite the wind, that plays with the loose strands of my hair as though to transform the strawberry strands into monarch butterflies. Despite the warm amber pebbles that line beaches shores, and the topaz water dancing around the edges infinite horizon line.
Despite all these beautiful things I am lonely.
Beyond lonely.
I have no one to cast a shadow beside, our fingers intertwined as the sun beams around us. No one to dance beside in the temperamental rainstorms. No one for me to pick flowers for to stick in their paper bag lunches or in the visor of their car to give them a little thing to make them smile. No one to stargaze with, no one to sleep under the stars with, no one to kiss me under the cool rays of moonlight. No one to spin me around in the wind, and tug on the loose strands of my butterfly hair. No one to walk beside on the beach, to play within the topaz water, to build amber sandcastles beside.
It would be nice to have somebody.

PERSONAL/LETTER/LOVE: YOU'RE MY BLANKET, AND YOU COVER MY HEART
When I crawl into a warm blanket at night, I pretend it's your arms. The sweet smell of home covers me when I curl up under it, however, when I'm with you I can feel that, feel at home. That thin cloth of security strengthens me, and tells me I can sleep fearless, but in your arms I feel like you will protect me, and you are fearless.
Nothing can harm me under the cozy embrace of my blanket, but I know it's possible that it will slip away... Then leave me cold...
It's a scary thought isn't it? That my covers may come off in my sleep... That I'll freeze. Just like you can loosen your grip on me, and leave me to feel the cold embedded heart ... All you could do is reach out with the tips of my toes, and feel the blanket that once covered me, and has not quiet left.. All you could do Is clutch onto that hope only grasping onto that little bit of love...
But those are the fears of a nightmare while hiding under the blanket,because in all honesty a nightmare is nothing compared to a dream. Dream, separating the good in my thoughts. When I feel my warmth held
under that blanket, I remember the warmth held in my heart. No matter where you are you warm my soul and keep me safe. love... It guides me, shelters me with warmth, stops my nightmares...
You're my blanket, and you cover my heart.

PERSONAL/LOVE: EYE CONTACT WITH A COMPLETE STRANGER
You know when your walking through a crowded room and you make eye contact with a complete stranger. But it wasn't just normal eye contact it was like you were attracted to each other. And then you both or gone in a blink of eye.
Well heres what I think about; What if that person was your soul mate and you're going to meet them again later in life. You never know who you are going to fall in love with. I think about this all the time.

PERSONAL/LOVE LETTER: WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME
I am flawed. I am insecure, jealous, possessive, overbearing, needy, and ill tempered. I am awkward a I am imperfect and I am unloveable. But not when you look at me. When you look at me, you see someone different. Someone better. You see someone confident and humble, beautiful and happy. You see someone
happy and cheerful with a million friends and a kickass sense of humor. You see the potential for my future, the things I've learned from my past. You see a realist and a dreamer, someone who is patient and kind and fair. You see someone you love.
And when you look at me, sometimes, just sometimes, I think I could really be that person you see. I think I could really be that. Because it gives me so much hope for myself, for the future, that you could see all that in me. That someone as extraordinary as you could spend so much time loving and caring for someone so mundane as me.
From the moment you began looking my way, it felt like I was basking in a shower of warm, comfortingly cozy sunlight. It was like bathing in affection, adoration, amicability. Love, lust, peacefulness, I felt them all for the first time with you.
I sometimes wish I hadn't made the choice to become involved with you. With someone that I knew would end up hurting me when you left. But then I remember the good times. The breathtaking memories we had, the perfect first kiss, the times you made me feel safe and secure and normal for the first time in my life.
You don't know this, but you saved me. I was floundering in my own despair and my own regrets and sorrows, and you saved me.
So thank you, my love. Thank you for loving me and seeing me and making me be something better.I will never forget you.

LOVE LETTER/PERSONAL/ LOVE: I WANT YOU TO KNOW
I want you to know that I still love you and always will. I thought I could get over you and that my broken heart would heal quickly. I was wrong. I was only strong while you were not near. One look at you and
my heart melts within me. All the buried feelings begin to rise within me and all I want to do is melt within your arms. I now confess that I never stopped loving you. I guess I never will.
Now I am feeling lost and confused. Within my heart I want you so badly. All I think about is you and being able to hold you, love you, touch you, and be with you. I am consumed by my desire for you and I feel lost without you. I know that I cannot force you to be with me or to want to be with me. It must be your decision. I would not want you any other way. I want you to want me, to be with me because you want to be with me, to love me because it makes you happy to love me, to come to me because you desire to be close to me.
I thought that missing you would get easier everyday. It has not. In fact, now that I have seen you again, touched you again, made love to you again, it has gotten more difficult being without you. My whole being aches for you and I cannot force myself to stop loving you. In fact, I don't want to stop loving you.
Alas, it might very well be my fate to go on living without you. I will not beg you to come back. If love cannot lead you back to me then I guess we will stay apart, but I truly hope that you will love me as much as I love you and want me with the same burning desire that I want you.
I still love you and I don't want to stop. I want you.

LOVE LETTER/PERSONAL/LOVE: MY HEART YEARNING FOR YOU
My heart is broken. That is such a cliche to say that but it is. I have never loved anyone like I love you.
My heart is yearning for you, for some recognition, for just a glimpse that you still love me that i haven't ruined things forever, that we can get back what we had. Love me, Love me, Love me. If I wish it deeply enough will it come true again. You said for as long as I wanted you you would love me, you said you couldn't say it enough but in the space of an afternoon you lost it. So was it even love? Did you know me? Did you really know me until that day?
I keep thinking about your eyes, how they used to look at me, how I could hardly look you back at it was too much, your eyes were amazing. I think about how you came up and hugged me in the kitchen, you were
so strong and I was so weak. How when I kissed you I felt complete.
I'M so angry with you, for not being able to understand, for making me wait, for not seeming to care anymore. Today I couldn't stop crying. This feeling that I have lost you is too overwhelming, I want to run
from it, hide from it but I cant.
When I wake for a second, everything is Ok, I still have you and then after that second I know the truth again, that I let you down, that I let myself down and it hurts too much. I cant stand it. I wonder if you will ever read this and if you do that you will know that it is me, that what we had was amazing, that for a while it was real. I thought I had found my soulmate in you, a poetic soul I could relate to on every level but it was a dillusion. I thought I dreamt you in to my life, I wanted you so much before I met you and now I have lost you. Everything is empty without you, you bought light in to everything in my life and now its dark and i am lost.

POETRY:MY LOVE FOR YOU IS RELENTLESS
My love for you is relentless,
As your sweet sonnets fall upon my soul
Whispering a quiet melody
My spirit aching for more
My desires for you are relentless
Your breath flows like fire upon my skin
Capturing my deepest fantasies
While my mind plays charades with my soul
My need for you is relentless
As our spirits collide in passion
Your soul passing through mine
Reaching every corner of my inner being
My beating heart is relentless
Pounding like thunder upon an ocean
You capture my heart within your soul
It cascades your silhouette
Our desire relishes in sweetness
Our hearts singing a sighing rhapsody
Allowing our passion to rage on
Leaving us relentless...
As your sweet sonnets fall upon my soul
Whispering a quiet melody
My spirit aching for more
My desires for you are relentless
Your breath flows like fire upon my skin
Capturing my deepest fantasies
While my mind plays charades with my soul
My need for you is relentless
As our spirits collide in passion
Your soul passing through mine
Reaching every corner of my inner being
My beating heart is relentless
Pounding like thunder upon an ocean
You capture my heart within your soul
It cascades your silhouette
Our desire relishes in sweetness
Our hearts singing a sighing rhapsody
Allowing our passion to rage on
Leaving us relentless...
GOD: DEAR GOD
Dear God,
Are the desires of my heart aligned with yours? Are the things I want the things you want for me? This cry pierces the depths of my being, the core of my soul, the deepest, darkest corners of my heart.
Where would I be without you? I am nothing and no one, so will you make me something? Will you open my heart to the things you desire of me? Will you teach me your ways and how to walk in them?
Hear my cries Father, please, hear them from the depths of my heart. A heart that is hungry for you.

POETRY: I AM WITH YOU, NOW YOU'RE MINE
She whimpered in a passionate sigh,
Her one true love was gone.
She watched in horror as they buried him,
And let out a mournful cry.
She'd never felt such a sense of loneliness,
Or such a sense of pain.
Her heart and soul were torn apart,
But remained a love untamed.
Although their love would last forever,
Her sorrow would not pass,
She knew that he'd be gone forever,
But their memories will last.
And with a shaky hand,
She placed a rose beside his name,
And looked into the heavens,
And shouted out in vain.
After all he gave to her,
One thing she held on high.
His true undying love for her,
And that would never die.
PART II
as your eyes shine innocently
they are my guiding light,
through the lonely days without you,
only if I could hold your hand,
my heart would be content for eternity.
your hair is all over,
gently caressing the roses,
I wish to be near them everyday,
intoxicating my sense of smell,
wandering away in
your sweet lips murmuring away,
what secrets only known to you,
yearning for their gentle words,
to fill this heart with comforting words,
to hold you close to my heart,
feel the warmth from yours to mine.
you make me shudder at every word you say,
how could I have missed you all this time?
only a divine plan it could be,
if there is a life,
it could be only with you.
PART III
To love again
How that would feel?
The tense song sung only for thee
To hold such... unheld hopes
Of a warm touch found wanting of warmth
From a cold, harsh world of yesterday
To the sunny path that leads to your heart
To love again
To hold true that which was lost
To place thee above... even sight
To wish a oneness never felt
To wake in the morning with eyes met
And to know tomorrow will find those eyes
Knowing that those eyes seek only yours
And will find a loving smile... as a frame
To love again
To know the need to be
And to be half... only whole with you
Yet, I love the feeling of incompleteness
For my half knows his better
And my mistakes find their perfection
In the eyes of thee
Whom I wish...
To love again
PART IV
My heart is racing, time is timid.
Lightened sky, darkened hall,
Frightening noise, deadly fall.
Racing toward the misty grove
What I feel is you should know.
Heart is racing, eyes on fire.
All I have is this desire.
Feeling lonely in this place,
Seeing starlight on your face.
Simple image, one desire.
I wish to be your one desire.
Running through the darkened woods,
Seeing faces in the hoods.
Catching breath, there is no time.
I am with you, now you're mine.
PART V
Innocence is a fleeting thing.
We only grasp it for a moment, then it is gone.
Our first love is innocent.
It is the first time we experience the feeling,
so it is at its purest.
We know not of the pain, the heartache,
or the ecstasy that accompanies it.
We know only love, so it is the emotion at its purest.
If only we knew to grasp that feeling
with all of our strength, and never let it go.
Falling in love is a double-edged sword.
We grow addicted to the feeling,
so we feel the need to search for it.
We abandon the person we fell in love with
to search for the feeling.
That is where the pain and hurt
that accompanies love comes in.
After we spend time trying to fall in love again,
we realize what we lost.
Unfortunately, that can never, ever be regained,
and we are left with the empty shell
of something that once was,
and we spend the rest of our lives
trying to fill that shell, but it never happens.
We have lost our innocence,
we have lost love in its purest, most basic state.
We regret that forever.
Though we may fall in love again,
it is never with that same fervor or abandon.
We never again cast ourselves blindly into love's arms.
We may fall in love again,
but it is always with a slight reservation,
that cautious look behind the shoulder,
or glimpse ahead into the chasm
that we are about to throw ourselves into.
It is never blind again, only that first "innocent" time,
for after, we know of the pain that can accompany love.
We never want to feel that wrenching pain again,
and we are scarred forever,
Our heart wears a black band which may never be removed.
We have lost our innocence.
Her one true love was gone.
She watched in horror as they buried him,
And let out a mournful cry.
She'd never felt such a sense of loneliness,
Or such a sense of pain.
Her heart and soul were torn apart,
But remained a love untamed.
Although their love would last forever,
Her sorrow would not pass,
She knew that he'd be gone forever,
But their memories will last.

And looked into the heavens,
And shouted out in vain.

JOURNAL: How Close Are We to New Great Depression? Posted By: Catherine Boyle
How Close Are We to New Great Depression?
Posted By: Catherine Boyle
The risk of a new depression — a sustained, severe recession — has
struck fear into the heart of markets and driven monetary policy in
developed economies since the current financial crisis began.
"We're in a very unfortunate position to be here," Richard Duncan,
author of The New Depression, warned on CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe"
Monday.
"When we broke the link between money and gold, this removed all
constraints on credit creation. This explosion of credit created the
world we live in, but it now seems that credit cannot expand any
further because the private sector is incapable of repaying the debt
it has already, and if credit begins to contract, there's a very real
danger that we will collapse into a new Great Depression," he argued.
"If this credit bubble pops, the depression could be so severe that I
don't think our civilization could survive it."
The explosion in cheap credit has been widely blamed for the global
financial crisis, but the debate about how to fix the problem
continues.
In the past few years, central banks including the U.S. Federal
Reserve , the European Central Bank and the Bank of England have
pumped liquidity into their financial systems through a number of
ways, including quantitative easing and the ECB's long-term
refinancing operation (LTRO).
"We could keep deferring the depression, but that could just encourage
the bad guys. If you do this, you possibly do more harm than good,"
Roger Nightingale, economist and strategist at RND Associates, told
CNBC Monday.
"You can defer, but not prevent."
Nightingale argued that previous credit booms, for example in Japan in
the 1980s, have led to sustained recessions.
"When you throw money into the system at a rate much in excess of the
requirements of the real economy, you're trying to get people to
borrow and spend, but the good guys out there won't because they're
too cautious. It's the bad guys who come in, the malefactors," he
said.
"When the central banks realize what is going on and raise interest
rates, it flings the world economy into depression."
The ideas of Milton Friedman, the Nobel Prize-winning economist who
argued that monetary policy should constantly expand, informed some of
the Fed's response to the crisis.
"Policymakers really believe that if we allow credit to contract, we
will reach a new Depression," Duncan said.
"The increase in government debt is making total debt grow, otherwise
we would already have collapsed in to a debt-deflation death spiral.
This creates great perils, but also tremendous opportunities."
Duncan argues that governments in the developed world should borrow
"massive" amounts of money at the current low interest rates to invest
in new technologies like renewable energy and genetic engineering.
"Even if this is wasted, at least we could enjoy this civilization for
another ten years before it collapses," he said.
His views counter those of economists who believe that governments
should focus on cutting their debt, particularly where repayments on
that debt are threatening to reach unsustainable levels, like in
Greece.
