Colors of Love
Love!
Love can be red, like the intense heat of a passionate kiss
.....the color of sweetness
.....the color of strawberries
Love can be blue, like the comfort we take in a pair of denim jeans
.....the color of strength
.....the color of perfect skies
Love can be yellow, bright and warm like the morning sun
.....like the sounds of laughters of children on the merry-go-round
.....like the sounds of fun from the boys flying kites in the open
fields
Love can be green, peaceful and serene I can hear your heart beats
.....it is the feeling of a loving hand that touch a grieving heart
.....it is the whispering of trusting words to a distressing soul
Love can be orange, the loudness of it can drive you up a wall
.....it can drive you to sing like nobody is listening
.....it can drive you to dance like nobody is watching
Love can be purple, the courage we need to love bravely and unselfishly
.....the moment I first kiss you i know that i am not afraid to risk involvement .....the day the declaration of your love for me was made known to the world

My Love
After so many years of loving you,
After so many things we've been through,
Still I couldn't find the reason,
Tell me why am I in so much love with you?
The day you left me,
My eyes couldn't stop crying.
The day I lost you,
A day didn't go I had pray for dying.
Come back my love,
Someone's still waiting for you.
Come back my love,
Someone will always wait for you.
Joti (Bangladesh)


It's More Than Saying I Love You
We give on this day candy and flowers,
But we never stop to say thank you for the many hours.
You have stood by my side and gave a smile,
As if to tell our hearts it's been worth every mile.
No need to buy a teddy bear or even a card,
It's pretty simple and not at all hard.
Just put your arms around me and hold me tight,
And say without words that in your heart all is right.
You may say I Love You throughout the year,
But on this day you need to make sure.
The words so sweet and straight from your heart,
That your life would be lonely without my part.
So put forth the effort and take the time,
Look me in the eye and say I'm glad you're mine.
AngelWatchin

My Valentine
Valentines is near
Just wishing you were here
You will always be near
My heart will never be the same
Beneath my skin, my soul lies waiting for you
Everyday I think of you I feel blue
Never give up hope
Remembering the first kiss
All I ask is to be with you
And for you to be my Valentine
For I will always cherish your heart in mine

Avatar Interviews!

James Cameron's Avatar opens in theaters this Friday, December 18th. Cameron has notoriously been working on the project for almost 15 years, and fans have a lot of questions. At a recent press conference in London for the film, some of those questions were answered.
Cameron was on hand with stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver to discuss the film. Among the most discussed subjects was the nature of the film's 3-D photography.
"Well, I think that up until now, every filmmaker who has made a 3D film has really felt it incumbent upon themselves to constantly remind you that you're watching a 3D movie by having things that come out into the viewer's space, and feel like they're quite present," Cameron remarked.
"So I sort of took the approach that if I'm constantly reminding you that you're watching a 3D movie, then you're constantly sitting there reminded that you're in a movie theater. I didn't want you to spend the whole two hours and forty minutes in a movie theater, I wanted you to go to Pandora. So we approached the 3D as if it were a window, or I like to think of it as a portal, into a reality."
The press conference wasn't all business, as Sam Worthington had the chance to tell an amusing story that happened during the film's production.
"We went to Hawaii to look at reference and stuff. We had to wear tiles and ears and a flimsy g-string and run around basically half naked pretending to be our characters which was all well and good except for when some guy came up to me and said, "So what are you doing here?" the actor recounted.
"I said, "We're filming a movie." He looked over and there was Jim Cameron with handycam. He said, "He's the director?" I said, "Yeah, that's James Cameron." He said, "Well, he's gone a long way down since 'Titanic.'"
