Defining Hope

By Omarr RaSharjd Lee

Be the one to be strong,
Even through dark to light,
Be the one to have courage,
Even through gloomy night,
Be the one to have faith, and
Know that a better day is on the way,
Be the one to always call upon Jesus,
What else is there to say?



Avoid The Dangers When Seeking A Love Poem For Her

By Spencer Harte

February 2012

 Often you are coming up with ways to be more romantic these days, and ferreting out a perfect love poem for her iswhat you’re trying to do. When that woman is important to you there isn’t a much better way to demonstrate your love than one perfect poem. Maybe two. That is where you can run into trouble, though. There are tons poems, a glut, everywhere. Some are fine, some are totally awful. Some are feeble, soppy, over the top. Some are cold and clinical. With all the varieties, how are you to boil them down to just the suitable one? A lot of times you succumb and just pick one, which isn’t the most ideal course. Stop by love poems for her right now to see some good ideas, and for more straight skinny on choosing the best one.

For my entire life I’ve been in love with love. My dad was a total romantic, his favorite poem was Cyrano de Berjerac, the ill fated romance with “Roxanne”. He so adored that poem that he demanded my middle name be Roxanne, and he quoted parts of it almost every night. Despite the name Spencer, I am definitely female, and have devoted a great deal of my research and teaching to all things love. I’ve worked with hundreds of men, women, and couples through the years to create that ‘just right’ mix, and when it comes to love poems, I’d like to give you a couple of suggestions, here.

Here’s the rundown:

First, There are different styles of poems for unique moods, and a good selection is ideal. The easygoing when you are feeling frisky and just want it to be extra special. The more classic poem when it is important, like an anniversary, or proposal. Valentines Day calls for a uncommon poem all together. Choose a nice selection of styles.

Second, Romance and love is different in its message, all the time. It can be romantic to pick a flower outside the house. It can be sweet to do the dishes so she can luxuriate in a bath, or read. It can be romantic to go all out for a weekend in the country. But romance, like you, and like the two of you, comes from what is comfortable for you. If you are a plain talking, simple living sort, the tux and black tie will likely not be comfortable for you. Women like the attempt, but we are reaching for something that is authentic and real from you, from the heart, more. Choose your love poems the same way.

“Getting it right” is really easy when you have some clever tips, tricks, insider experience. For your free guide to sharing that absolutely spot on love poem, and oodles more direction and poems, head to love poems for her dot net.

Spencer Harte states that helping guys “get it” is part of the fun. She has given courses, workshops, created lots of online tools for all things love. She is a female, a complete romantic, and a teacher and guide to those craving more love, more romance, and more of life. love poems for her.

-- Author creatively unveils his most intimate thoughts through artistic poetry --

BlackNews.com

February 2012

Author Evan Quitelle has done it again. This compilation of poetry is a beautiful work of art. Sensual, sultry and sexy Signals of Smoke and Ash seduces readers with every verse, allowing them to enjoy a romantic interlude starting with the title of each poem. Each line of wordplay is foreplay, and every word carefully paints a vivid, artistic and romantic picture into one's mind.

Evan Quitelle's vision and creativity is brilliant. His words of love and affirmation are intense and powerful as evidenced in the selection "Dwelling on the Past." Here, he shares this poetry with utmost passion and love:

"I miss the water near Yesterday how we drank with laughter and you taking a dip / I miss the wilderness with wild honey how I borrowed from you and you paying me back / I miss coming down off of our high horse and casting shadows on the sundial / I miss our native tongues your cardinal points and filling the feel of you / I miss standing just outside the frame digging your scene / I miss captured in brief laced hips and satin lips pursed for satisfaction / I miss the pilgrimage south the middle passage how you compass rose and I nourished the bloom / I miss you breaking the fall when I reached out and I held on to holding you..."

Signals of Smoke and Ash will take you to the plateau and then make you soar. This magnificent volume of poetry is an intimate caress. Readers will love the symbolic words interwoven with immense ardent emotion, seeping from a place of genuine affection and profuse desire. This is no ordinary poetry book for every title is a poem in itself, thus making each chapter a catalyst for one's meaningful and deep romanticism. Appealing, his poems tell a story which will inevitably captivate the heart of every woman who longs for true love from a sincere and honest man. Ultimately, Quitelle's words posses a unique powerful effect that will effortlessly endear a man to a woman and vice versa.
