		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, we forget where our love started&#8230;other times, we choose to forget. Always remember where your passions lie. Always remeber that someone is out there to share your passion. It may be a friend, a relative, or your soulmate. When you find them, share your inspiration with them&#8230; Long have I waited for the homecoming [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To Teri, my everlasting inspiration My soul is refreshed by your mere presence, As goodness and purity escape from your essence. Inward I am drawn with no other thought Than that of the wonder and awe you have brought. A heart that has remained dormant for so long, Now is vibrant, beating steady and strong.

		<description><![CDATA[A day, a day you say, Is not long to be away. Sure, alright, OK. Only to our minds does this apply. For it becomes a challenge for you and I, But our hearts, our hearts, may ask why. To quell our love is not a simple task, And, many, many questions we may ask/ [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The awe and wonder we share Astounds me always. We grow, we bloom, we blossom… Together. Our bond strengthens With every step And intensifies incredibly With each new inkling Of love. An end is not in sight, Rather an eternal eruption Of our own eternity Is inevitable and everlasting.

		<description><![CDATA[Beauty so serene Can not be sculpted; Innocence so sanctified Can not be sustained; Intensity so sharp Can not be surmounted, Except by The vision, The purity, The light, Who somehow engulfs My entire realm of sight.
