Aurora, Goddess of Dawn

http://josephinewall.com/aurora.html

Just before the sun rises
there is a hush
Slowly and quietly comes Aurora, Goddess of Dawn
Her gorgeous gown following her
her wings swiftly brush against everything it touches
Awakening the trees, the birds, the leaves
Slowly she takes out her paintbrush
and her kaleidoscopic palatte
Then the brush makes its first stroke of paint
Bursts out the color of yellow
the radiant rays of the sun
Then other colors bursts out
the luminous orange, the dazzling blue, the majestic purple
the beaming green and the incandescent red
Slowly she puts away the paintbrush and palatte
and walks away
Leaving the world to awake!

Love

If Not For You
If not for you, I wouldn’t know
What true love really meant.
I’d never feel this inner peace;
I couldn’t be content.
If not for you, I’d never have
The pleasures of romance.
I’d miss the bliss, the craziness,
Of love’s sweet, silly dance.
I have to feel your tender touch;
I have to hear your voice;
No other one could take your place;
You’re it; I have no choice.
If not for you, I’d be adrift;
I don’t know what I’d do;
I’d be searching for my other half,
Incomplete, if not for you.

By Joanna Fuchs

   This poem is a really nice poem with a beautiful meaning. I observed that the poet was only talking about the desires and how the he/she will feels if their lover isn't there with them. I noticed that the poet described love as a silly dance and I think she meant all the craziness and foolishness a person does when they are in love. I like the last line because I think it means how lost and incomplete someone will be if they don't find the person they are made for. I really like this line as well, "You’re it; I have no choice" because it's like saying "you are it, I love you, end of discussion!" 
   I really like this poem because its shows that when someone is in love they are enchanted by how beautiful it is and how it makes you feel all happy and joyful. I also think how when you find someone you really like you only think about that person and you want to be with that person with all your heart and you just can't stop thinking about that special someone.
   Love is a beautiful thing in life and it can also be painful, really painful. When someone is in love, they are blind cause they only see that person they love, deaf cause they hear only that persons voice and they can only speak about that person. I really wish that one day everyone finds their special someone and there hearts won't break because they will be happy together forever and ever. But of course that won't happen because there is so much cruelty in this world but I still wish that love, one day, will spread like wild fire in this world, not one kind of love but many kinds of love including the love you give to your family and friends!

"Love that is true never grows old'

    I just finished reading the book Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater and I loved it! It was awesome with romance and a little bit of fantasy. The story started with a girl named Grace who has been watching a particular wolf every day for six years. A wolf who watched her back, a wolf who made her feel joy whenever he is near her. And, that wolf and his pack turned out to be werewolf's and soon as the wolf , Sam, meets Grace as a human, they feel like they know each other which is true and they starts loving each other. Though its just the beginning of their romance, things start getting complicated what with Sam trying to stay human and a new wolf in the pack.
   I really loved the entire book but the best part was the ending. Before the full ending, Grace thinks she lost Sam since he completely turned into a wolf because of the cold weather but in the last page of the book it says that Sam was watching Grace but it didn't say in what form. And when he reveals himself to Grace she is totally shocked to see him human! I love the last two lines of the book which goes like this:
   "Grace," I said, very softly. "Say something."
   " Sam," she said, and I crushed her to me."
   There is something really unique about this two lines that gets me amazed. I mean with these four words their relationship and their love for each other totally deepened and showed that their love is not the only thing that's keeping them together. This kind of romance is the type that shows that the two people will always be each others and together for eternity. The best thing about love is that one can't stop loving or wanting to love because when it is right, it's the best thing in the world. When someone is in a relationship and its a romantic love that person is sharing with someone else, even if nothing else in ones life is right, that person feels like their whole world is complete.
