Turn Left, Turn Right (An Excerpt)

both are convinced
that a sudden surge of emotion bound them together
beautiful is such a certainty
but uncertainty is more beautiful
because they didn't know each other earlier
they suppose that nothing was happening between them
what of the streets, stairways, and corridors
where they could have
passed each other long ago?
i'd like to ask them whether they remember --
perhaps in a revolving door ever being face to face
an 'excuse me' in a crowd
or a 'wrong number' in the receiver
but i know their answer
no, they don't remember
they'd be greatly astonished
to learn that for a long time
Chance had been playing with them
not yet wholly readyto transform into fate for them
it approached them, then backed off
stood in their wayand, suppressing a giggle, jumped to the side

Life is peachy...

I have always longed for tenderness, love and a sensitivity of feeling into which I would like to blend. I am a gentle warm person and responsive to "All things bright and beautiful" ... a person who "needs" and indeed "needs to be needed".I am a true extrovert, frivolous and outgoing. I need to feel in control of any situation. If matters are not proceeding according to plan I tend to get extremely irritable and perhaps become difficult to live with.The way things are, if I feel that I am stuck in a rut and there is not much I can do about it, I feel frustrated and inhibited...But if I can find a way to let myself go, I may find that things aren't quite so bad as perhaps I thought they were.It is said that we are all influenced by our environment and indeed I am no exception. It would seem at this time that even though I may be surrounded by people, I am experiencing an inner- loneliness. Fortunately I am sufficiently strong minded to realise that life has a great deal to offer me and that I may miss my share of experiences if I fail to make the best use of every opportunity. I therefore pursue my objectives with a fierce intensity and is prepared to commit myself deeply and readily..I believe that whatever I would like to do or think "I can do" - I do! It is fair to say that whatever it is that Ireally want out of life ... I will put my heart and soul into it and will not take "NO" for an answer.
