If I Were Her Lover

I

If I were her lover,
I'd wade through the clover
Over the fields before
The gate that leads to her door;
Over the meadows,
To wait, 'mid the shadows,
The shadows that circle her door,
For the heart of my heart and more.
And there in the clover
Close by her,
Over and over
I'd sigh her:
"Your eyes are as brown
As the Night's, looking down
On waters that sleep
With the moon in their deep" . . .
If I were her lover to sigh her.


II
If I were her lover,
I'd wade through the clover
Over the fields before
The lane that leads to her door;
I'd wait, 'mid the thickets,
Or there by the pickets,
White pickets that fence in her door,
For the life of my life and more.
I'd lean in the clover—
The crisper
For the dews that are over—
And whisper:
"Your lips are as rare
As the dewberries there,
As ripe and as red,
On the honey-dew fed" . . .
If I were her lover to whisper.

III

If I were her lover,
I'd wade through the clover
Over the field before
The pathway that leads to her door;
And watch, in the twinkle
Of stars that sprinkle
The paradise over her door,
For the soul of my soul and more.
And there in the clover
I'd reach her;
And over and over
I'd teach her—
A love without sighs,
Of laughterful eyes,
That reckoned each second
The pause of a kiss,
A kiss and . . . that is
If I were her lover to teach her.

Love And Lust

Yesterday I was talking to one of my friend and we had conservation about lust and love. She told it is not that easy to fall in love, actually it never happens the way that people think. Most of the time it is all based on lust because couples will never hurt each other if they really love each other. Though I kind of agree with her at this point, but it was hard enough to admit. Actually I’m a firm believer of love at first sight and finding a soul mate. I thought she must be having a bad experience previously, then I questioned about her past experience in relationships.

According to my point of view bad experiences can mold a person's behavior and its true in her case. She told me about her relationship and I noticed she had it really very bad. And now she doesn't believe in love anymore because her past boyfriend treated her badly. She doesn't want to get hurt again. Then I was trying to convince her that all are not the same there is true love that exist. You will defiantly get some one who will really love you the way you want and at that time you will laugh at the past bad experiences. There are plenty of fish in the sea and that she should take it as an experience so you won't make the same mistake again.

But I think, though people like her had bad experiences in relationships, they should never give up on love. Though it's easier said than done, right? Actually love is something that happens on its own, you never know when you will get the person you are seeking for. So if you will keep the dark cloud of bad experience in your heart, it will just block every opportunity to be loved. Life has to go on, so its better to start afresh always.

Is this love that I'm feeling?

When she was just 16, Aubrey Bascue was sure she had found the man she was going to marry. Whether she was with or without her boyfriend, he was constantly on her mind and bringing a smile to her face.

“I was really happy. I thought he was the total package,” says Bascue, former KU student. Those feelings of extreme joy turned to excruciating pain, though, as the couple’s seven-month anniversary approached and they faced a break-up.
