Agents of Literary Change

It’s the rumbling in your tummy at the mere mention of a name.
It’s a spirit awakening,
More like a soul quaking feeling you are scared to claim.

And although it can be as intimately blissful as heaven up above
It’s not a place for the naïve …and it takes far more than for you to just believe
So please…Do Not Sensationalize Love!

When it’s REAL, it’s that DEAL...almost too terrific to trust,
What it can’t be is based solely upon passionately pleasing lust!

When it’s SINCERE…there’s no room for Fear, but it is all about the work.
What it can’t be is sold…like it’s something that’s owed or else doubt will always lurk.

Love…
Cannot be given as constellation, nor offered out of obligation!
Love seriously demands so much more than soul shattering sensation!

Love…
Is made of Dedication and Determination built to give a heart something it can FEEL!
Love…
Is made of Passionate Perseverance to enrich the soul with sentiment that’s REAL!

Love…
Is not the perception of superficial symbols of Luxurious Living!
It is the progression of years of protection and supportive, spiritual giving!

Love…
Is made of Caring and Sharing and that gives it Power!
But if left unattended it will die out like an ignored flower!
Love…
Is made of more than feeble fan-fare and demonstration that one is all in
Once it’s declared it is right then and there that the real work begins

And if one is unwilling to put in continual work,
Love will morph into eventual hurt…
Like searing pain you never want to know
Love unreciprocated is like gallivanting in a garden that refuses to grow!

Love feels so GOOD it’s so soothing it’s almost sinful to speak of
Make no mistake Love is not a tool to use or to manipulate so for your own sake…
Do Not Sensationalize Love!

Yep, the power of "facts" on the internet. Ain't it grand? People take forwards as gospel. Do you all also believe that Barack Obama shouldn't be president because he's not an American citizen? It' says he's not on the internet! I kinda wanted this…

You know what is sad in all this, the sentiment on this board is not about wanting to see justice, because frankly those on this board have shown they could care less about facts (not a single person here has seen the court documents of the case oth…

Because Sophia has made false claims! She said she won the case and that turned out to be a flat out lie! Why on earth would be you surprised she is now being scrutinized after misleading many?

Well, that's what THEY are telling us, so we must BELIEVE it! We know this is the whole story, because THEY told us so, why would THEY lie? All of the information received on this case are from 100% accurate, objective and reliable sources, our very…

And you wonder why people view you guys as a fringe nutcase bunch? Sophia was going around purposely MISLEADING people into thinking she "won" the case. There are followers of this woman all over the net, fighting tooth and nail she ACTUALLY won the…

I guess none of you people have ever lost a court case! Do you realize that winning a court case has nothing to do with being wrong or right?
