"Maybe my words, are not as good, as those on the page, quoted on the lips, but they are, my words, my soul, my life, and they are how they are, quoted or not."- Exert from a poem of mine titled "My Words"

The light that shines the background
The glow upon your face
Your eyes a burning fire
Your arms my fingers trace

My lips of ripened cherries
Your hair of wheat grass gold
And deep in the dimming light
The secrets that we told

For in the dark with lust and love
Comes something just as deep
Whispered words and shinning eyes
And the memories I will always keep

I think this one pretty much tells its own story haha the light in the background to me is like a TV on in a dark room :)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn&#039;t serve the world. There&#039;s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.<br /> -Marianne Williamson
