big love

big love



"i love you from the bottom of my heart and for you my heart has no bottom"-unknown



loving unconditionally is not easy...it takes work.  i don't always know 'the how" either.i feel like i stumble quite a bit. but don't we all? i think that is the beauty of loving big, giving someone every ounce of honest, real, true emotion.  the risk is big...but so is the reward.

CRY LOVE: John Hiatt 
a moment of steel
a dry-eyed house
did he say goodbye to you
or did you kick him out
i know you're not afraid
to go alone
but this was a marriage of spirit, flesh, and bone

now whatcha gonna do

when the planet shifts
whatcha gonna do
gonna slit your wrists
bleed all over the milky way
the stars in your eyes look red today

cry love, cry love

the tears of an angel
the tears of a dove
spilling all over, your heart from above
cry love, cry love

the trust of a woman in his hand

but he was a little boy, not a man
you loved him stronger than he could feel
yeah he was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel
now whatcha gonna do
with the booze and the blush
whatcha gonna do
when there's no rush
cop a little misery
at the corner store
well' one day that train of pain won't stop no more

cry love...

throwning up ashes on the floor
if this is a lesson in love
well what's it for?
the heart won't remember
the burning fire
the next time you feel the flame
of desire

cry love, cry love..
cry love, cry love..

cry love, cry love, cry love

Annie, your passion and execution compositionally is extraordinary. It appears that the heart is in motion based on the placement. The background speaks volumes about the underpinnings of love sometimes including melancholy, bliss, desire, anger and many emotions that are encompassed when love is applied to relationships as demonstrated with this heart is motion because, "Love" is a verb.

You hit it, very nice and very well done.

Your work is beyond 'Museum Quality' Annie. Of course I am partial to Hearts, but yours are extraordinaire.
Love your website, well done.

have a little faith in me: john hiatt

When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try
And have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

And when your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here darling, from a whisper start
And have a little faith in me
And when your back’s against the wall
Just turn around and you, you will see
I will catch you, I will catch your fall
Just have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

‘Cause I’ve been loving you, for such a long, long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
‘Cause for us, there is no end
And all you gotta do, is have a little faith in me
I will hold you up, I will hold you up
And your love, gives me strength enough to
Have a little faith in me
Hey hey
All you gotta do for me girl
Is have a little faith in me
