Rusty Poetry
Dead stars
once bright,
still shine
from far away.
Staring at the night sky
may prove deceiving.
Twinkling lights
may cease to be,
yet the brightness
that travels
bears not with it
illumination,
but a yearning
for what has already gone.
The blush
that springs,
the warmth
of memory,
are echoes
from a different
time and place.

The ending of Paz Marquez-Benitez's short story 'Dead Stars' socked me in the gut. Thanks Dang, for sharing the story.

For most men, the recommended starting dose of Levitra medication is 10 mg. This pill has to be taken about 1 hour before sexual activity. It starts working within 16 minutes of its intake and may last for up to 24 hours. But, to get erection, it is necessary to have some form of sexual stimulation. http://www.levitrabliss.com/
