Is It All We Expected It To Be?... By Peter Dorian

After the party is over do the lights shine bright?

After a shower of compliments are you sure that you're all right? We dance until the songs are all the same...

and meet so many people, we never remember one name. Bartenders serve us such good drinks,

tomorrow we'll age twice as fast.

Somewhere in those lights we lose ourselves.

Do our "friends" really give a damn?

Do we really make love anymore?

Innocence is a precious gem...

...we never know until it's gone.

For Women Of The Night...by Peter Dorian

Hold on to your fantasy-lover,

he can help you pull it through.

He will always remain when the others leave.

All the others are really him anyway, aren't they?

Mom...by Peter Dorian

Mom, how much must you bear?

To say the least,

it seems there has been too much already.

I love you,

but it's getting hard to show it.

Try to understand, I have little patience.

I lack the ability to hold you close and say

"I'm sorry" when I should,

but I feel you know I want to.

Mom, I only want to be loved by someone else.

I don't have that someone else yet, so I take it out on you.

Please love me forever.

I'm just afraid at times Mom,

your love will be the only kind I'll know.

That scares me.

About Jerry & Me...anonymous

When someone touches you so deeply that you know it will last forever, how do you go on when that person is taken away? When you lose that perfect someone, one who had completed your circle and made you a whole person, what do you do to fill such a void?

When the person remaining is one who needs people and love and affection, that person cannot go on alone forever!

To have found another with the same needs was a blessing, but again, those needs become a burden.

In the beginning, the many friends and family who understand will help. Someday though, that help will come to an end, for it no longer will be enough.

I know a few things will help keep me going.

At first the meories will be plenty, since there are many. Not all of them are good, but they are all honest!

Then, reality will take the lead and force the steps of getting on with life.

Finally, the knowledge that a great person had the deepest of feelings for me will be the catalyst to bring me peace.

I've lost a part of me that I may never find again, but I know that I cannot go on forever without trying to find it. I'm sure that someday, I'll be conciously trying to fill that void. I go on now, only with thehope that when I'm ready to look, I'll find someone who can fill the void, while allowing me to continue being in love with a wondderful memory.
