I Want to Live Life to the Fullest

A Different Kind Of Love..... The other day, as I walked hand in hand with my toothy lover, I felt my heart skip a beat, and for a minute, I was able to see, contemplate a love, a love different of any kind I’ve ever seen..

I saw this couple, a young man and a young woman, both blind, with their dark sunglasses, walking together hand in hand, guided by their canes and their mutual trust.. I was in the presence of something words cannot express.. I saw these two beautiful souls, blinded on their eyes but with clear purposes, such a different love to anything I’ve ever seen..

I had mixed feelings of sorrow and admiration towards them, contemplating their love and admiring how most of us take a lifetime to trust others, but would you ever trust your life to another human being? Probably, after a lifetime of events that a person had a chance to let you know their hearts..

As me and my significant other stood there watching them in surprise, I could almost drool with admiration, can you imagine the type of love these two share? I said to my lover, there is no shallow hollows, there is no walls between them, they are as they are, pure, infinite beauty, they cannot see each other, but they know they are both so beautiful, as they can know only the contains of their soul.

I will always remember this event, remember the beauty I saw in them, the love I felt towards them instantly, the worry as they were struggling on the roughness of this world, looking so fragile but knowing they are so much stronger than most, as they’ve fought a different battle than most of us. I’m glad life has let me see a different type of beauty one more time. I love this world more and more with every day, and funny enough I once believed this world was not worthy, oh but it is, almost as much as life.

I'm not sure which is more moving: what you described or much it affected you. Ravenge, there is something truly special about the way you use english. I cannot really explain it. The best I can do is this - it's as if some deeper meaning is showing through in places or maybe as if two voices are speaking at the same time in different languages, each saying the same thing in a different way. Or it could just be that I am not taking my medication.

Thank you Marquez, means a lot coming from a poet as yourself :), even if you'er missing to use your medication :P.

English is not my first language, and sometimes I worry I cannot put into words what I think or feel, but sometimes I feel like I am more able to express myself freely in English than I ever could in my native lang, as I don't have to hide from those who oppressed me.

You make perfect sense in English but I imagine I can hear you thinking in Russian. Time to take a couple more pills.

It's a good thing I'm not blind, because if you put a white stick in my hand somebody is going to be impaled.

LMAO dumbass. Even as a blind man, I know you'd find your way into my darkest places.
DarthMinger
Over and over again I might add...and it is certainly my pleasure to explore your dark side.
