The Pause
image courtesy: singulartI sneak a glance across the room at him. In the harsh overhead light, his eyes catch mine, and they’re wild. Hungry. Something in the way his pupils dilate, and the slight parting of his lips. My breath catches. My heart skips. I know what usually follows. And I want that pull. Fiercely. But there’s that other part of me, the one that whispers: run.

“It’s a pity you think that the world can be righted through murder. Isn’t there enough death in the world already from hunger, starvation, calamities, and the stupid wars you stupid humans wage against each other?”
― Flashes of Vice: Vol III
― Flashes of Vice: Vol III
“There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.”
― The Truth About Forever
― The Truth About Forever
“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”

“Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.”
― Dover Beach and Other Poems

“I am no king, and I am no lord,
And I am no soldier at-arms," said he.
"I'm none but a harper, and a very poor harper,
That am come hither to wed with ye."
"If you were a lord, you should be my lord,
And the same if you were a thief," said she.
"And if you are a harper, you shall be my harper,
For it makes no matter to me, to me,
For it makes no matter to me."
"But what if it prove that I am no harper?
That I lied for your love most monstrously?"
"Why, then I'll teach you to play and sing,
For I dearly love a good harp," said she.”
― The Last Unicorn

Mary Anita And The Second Liberation In Kenya Consider reading this book full of African passion and flavour, culture, social life and politics
Thanks for your recent friend request, Vincent, which I happily accept. You seem like an interesting person, so feel free to tell me more about yourself and perhaps we can grow to become even greater friends. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author, so perhaps we can share books and ideas in the future.Regards, and have a great day, Ed
