The telling of words

[rolfvanderwind]

When you feel like giving up, just remember that there is always a chance that you will succeed.

Consumed

In a society where we're so consumed with the media and what we see online, it's hard to feel any sense of peace. We all feel inadequate, and we strive to stay on top and keep up with everyone else. It's so easy to compare ourselves to others and let our minds guide us to a negative place where we feel like we're less than others. The reality is that we're all unique individuals, and we're all capable of great things! We just need to focus on our strengths and do our best to improve upon them every day.

Hope is always around us- even if we can't see it. If you believe you can do anything, then you probably will do anything. If you don't, then you probably never will.

Soulmate

"I think I want to be someone's soulmate" said the girl, "I'm tired of just dating. I want to be that one person that somebody can't live without. I want somebody that'll do that for me too. I won't settle for anything less." Her three friends, all seemingly content in their relationships, listened to her longingly. "I want that too," said one. "Have you ever felt that way?" asked another, "I don't think I've ever been in love." The girl looked intensely at her friends. "I think all I want is to be needed."

Love

A relationship can end, but love cannot. Love has no end. It only evolves into something greater. Love makes life complete, so with love you have everything. Love brings with it hope, happiness, contentment, laughter, respect, loyalty, honesty, friendship, family, countless things beyond one's imagination. Love is life. Love is you.

[rolfvanderwind]

You came into my life like a meteor, across the sky in a blaze of light. I didn't understand, but my mind was set ablaze by you. Like a meteor, you were gone too fast, but I will never forget you. And if we live on, I'll always be there waiting for you to come by.

[rolfvanderwind]

When two people love and care for each other, they will not always be together. It's inevitable. They'll eventually go their own separate ways, to pursue their own dreams and desires, and perhaps even forget about each other. But true love never dies. Even if you forget about someone, their presence will always remain in your heart.

[rolfvanderwind]

In my heart, there’s nothing we can’t achieve. But you seem to have a fear that dominates your spirit too much and makes you believe that whispering voices talking about suicide are real.

Changes

It's difficult to go back to some places after they've changed so much. It may have been out of necessity, or it might have been due to changes in my vision of life. But no matter the reason, it's not enjoyable to remember a place in your past and see that it has become dilapidated. I remember the times when the beaches had more sand, where I've spent hot days with friends having fun under the summer sun. Now, they're all but empty. I remember the beauty of the waterfall that cascaded down the mountain, but now there's just a babbling stream. I remember the house I grew up in, but now, it's even less than a distant dream.

As a man, you have to understand that emotions can be confusing and that is why it is important to spend time being your authentic self. As a leader of your life, it's important to not brush off your feelings, even if they may feel inconvenient, but it's important to build strong relationships with those close to you or those you care about. Make sure it is something positive. Try talking about it out loud to other people when you feel confused.

Clouds have loomed over me

it is not dust that hurt my eyes

I see you leaving, I see you fade

I think the madness started

the moment I met you

how you held my hand

how your eyes met mine

There will never be a goodbye

your body turned to ashes

but our love will survive.

[rolfvanderwind]

I wanted her smile

she gave me the world

I wanted a soft kiss

she showed me the fire of hell

I wanted freedom

she did not understand.

[rolfvanderwind]

In her secret and fragile dreams, magic tumbled from her pretty lips. She spoke words of love. She gave birth to a shining star, which was to illuminate, the path for someone to find her heart. The sky is full of stars, the world full of hearts.

[rolfvanderwind]

I had been looking for you on every street, west of the moon and between the stars, but I found you where the sun doesn't shine and no angel dares to fly. You were in my heart.

[rolfvanderwind]

These days of autumnal decline contain a nostalgic feeling for the summer days that are gone and the love that will never return. Now I'm trying to find someone I can exchange words with and please the moon for all I know.

[rolfvanderwind]

Afternoons are hard,

nights disturbingly silent,

eyes break into tears looking

in the morning sun.

It is the end of a love story

the end of a dream

the end of two hearts.

[rolfvanderwind]

Leave me a smile

the memory of one hour

the taste of a kiss

the warmth of a touch

I had dreaded silently

in the cold of the nights

your words of goodbye

and loss of memories.
