Chances


Chances, are they really worth taking
Like the chance of a broken heart
Is it really worth it?
When only in the end
You feel only as if
You've been hit with a hot iron
That is now just lying down on your chest
While you feel the pain from the hit
Like the chance of an unsuccessful dream
Is it really worth it?
To feel that pain in the end
'Cause of the wasted years of your life
Trying to succeed in that one thing
That so many others have also tried and failed, as well
The question though is
The pain that we feel from
All these struggles in life
Is it really worth it?
I understand we only live once
But is it all really worth it?

I've been reading this book, 
lost in the life of this author...
I had to share some part of it...
so you can begin to know him...
Didn't even ask his permission
Must begin to share his story...
Please watch for more soon...

Let's make love right now!" "Just like a typical guy years younger, Max is always ready to go before I am. "I am so horny," he whispers hoarsely into my ear. I smile, enjoying his eagerness... "I want to kiss you all over," he mumbles into my neck as his hands begin to roam... "There's something I want to do, and I hope you will allow me." he begins, rather formally... "I want to kiss you all over and lick your vagina!" "I gasp, feigning shock. "I'll let you as long as you do it as long and as thoroughly as you did last week." "We did it last week?" ~~~ Ageless Erotica Edited by Joan Price I met Joan on line a number of years ago when she was writing a book. Finding her name in my files, I we...

Within the Sounds of Silence - May 17, 2025 - 1940s through 60s versus Present Decade

  Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel is one of all-time favorite songs... As in most times in my life, the words of a song (or a book) became most important. This one because of one word: Silence... Often, when I would start singing this song in my mind, I would substitute Silence instead of Darkness... Beginning, "Hello, Silence my old friend, I've come to talk with you again..." Darkness was just opposite of light...  but silence had meaning to me... I have always been a person who needs quiet time. In my early life, we lived in the country, where I've come back to, after spending many years living in Morgantown, WV, where I worked at the University starting right after graduating from high school... Living in a small town of New Geneva, most of our lives outside of home were in school or church, which often held social events as well as regular services. I was given piano lessons--enough to learn enough to play hymns at church, LOL... I was not destined to be...
