Headlights dim. until dawn Skin glistens, transient love In the glow of midnight moon Forever memories, however true Kiss your ear, offer a smile Close your eyes, just for a while I’m yours now, said in a hush Morning'll come, tonight is us Actin' roles, we weren't ready for Playin' games, didn't know the rules for Our forever night was all so true Fallin' in love under dashboard blue Fallin' in love under dashboard blue We fell in love under dashboard blue The night was forever Didn’t know at the time You made me feel You made me feel You made me feel Like a man Before I knew what bein' one was Feel your warmth, makes me shiver Kiss your lips, hint of quiver Linger inside your soft embrace Steal night moments, forgive by day Holdin' tight, holdin' our breath Comin' close, feelin' little death Shudder together, release desire When it's over, no promises required Actin' roles, we weren't ready for Playin' games, didn't know the rules for Our forever night was all so true Fallin' in love under dashboard blue Fallin' in love under dashboard blue We fell in love under dashboard blue Night was forever Didn’t know at the time You made me feel You made me feel You made me feel Like a man Before I knew what bein' one was You made me feel You made me feel You made me feel Like a man Before I knew what bein' one was 2024 Alfred C.

I come home, worn out and weary In the late hours, of a savage night Caught the short end, of another too-long day Life dished out All that I care to fight Eyes are clouded, with surrender ‘til an image, of you all in lace Flesh and blood Venus, standing before me Waiting to melt Into my starved embrace (My starved embrace...) Fall like a feather Kiss like a whisper Touch like a breeze You're always there To heal me when the world Has knocked me to my knees Fingertip touch, finely delicate Sketch along, my neck and face Thoughts drift in, a quiet calm You’re the artist And I’m your canvas Breathing you in, all that I can There’s no place, that I’d rather be Side-by-side, as we have for years Exploring each other Like two carefree teens (Two carefree teens...) Fall like a feather Kiss like a whisper Touch like a breeze You’re always there To lift me when the world Has dropped me to my knees Fall like a feather Kiss like a whisper Touch like a breeze You're in my dreams 2024 Alfred C.

Partial To Roses Come to me, my sweet I’m just a kid in a candy store Or like Christmas mornin’ With gifts laid out on the floor My hands hold you tight A whisper warms your ear Cry if you can't help it We got nothin’ to fear You’re partial to roses Red colors the bed and The heat of our bodies Says talk has come to an end Beware the man, the beast Release the crazy We’ll take from each other ‘til dawn warm and hazy Ignore all the doubters Forget all their talk ‘cause Our love is enduring and Ceaseless and raw And when we wake up In a tangle on the floor I’ll breathe in your life And say softly je t’adore I want your love I need your love Glide inside my shadow Let me be your armor Desire’s runnin’ high Float through my mind Tell me what you wish Our love’s what you’ll find Surrender your love I surrender mine Surrender your love I surrender, surrender mine 2024 Alfred C.

My Die-For Girl Walkin’ through what-coulda-beens Breathin’ in sweet melancholy Thinkin’ about where we went wrong More than just, Well we weren’t ready Found a notebook from senior year When we sat together in history class Inside a Celtic heart you drew And wrote our names in pencil lace So grab my hand, come off the pages A simple tale, love for the ages You’re my die-for girl, from a long-ago world You and me, we had our time Written it was in, black and white Hummin’ songs we called our own That used to play on the radio Shared our bodies and our thoughts Hidin' beneath your family patio On the phone we talked all night Voice a whisper by mornin’ light Told each other more than everything And when we kissed, I saw my life So grab my hand, come off the pages A simple tale, love for the ages You’re my die-for girl, from a long-ago world Funny it was, the only time Souls we bared gave me butterflies Countin’ candles all alone Another year has passed, ya know What lingers more inside my head Was how ya loved me, ya told me so So grab my hand, come off the pages A simple tale, love for the ages You’re my die-for girl, from a long-ago world You and me, so sad it seems Lived our lives, beyond a long-lost dream Beyond a long-lost dream Pencil fades Pages frayin’ Soon enough As I’ve been sayin’ Like everything Once so clear Time of our love It all just disappeared It all just disappeared Walkin’ through what-coulda-beens Breathin’ in sweet melancholy Thinkin’ about when we went wrong Guess it was, Well you weren’t ready What lingers still inside my head Was how ya loved me, ya told me so ‘cause ya drew a heart, ya drew a bow Ya shot an arrow, laid me low Ya drew a heart, ya drew a bow Ya shot an arrow, laid me low Ya drew a heart, ya drew a bow Ya shot an arrow and laid me low 2024 Alfred C.

We'll Fly Together Let's fly together So far and wide A trip to Mars And dance beyond time Dive in deep water Where the sun don’t shine Breathe in each other ‘til the seas run dry When you stumble I will catch you If you fall I’ll be there for you In my arms I’ll sing child lullabies And wishful dreams For the rest of our lives Wade in a meadow We’ll cast our thoughts Of make-believe plans And crusade we fought Imagine a palace Built on harvest sand We’ll make our pledge For a final stand Let’s fly together So far and wide A trip to Mars And dance beyond time Dive in deep water Where the sun don’t shine Breathe in each other ‘til the seas run dry When you stumble I will catch you If you fall I’ll be there for you In my arms I’ll sing child lullabies And wishful dreams For the rest of our lives We’ll fly together So far and wide A trip to Mars And dance beyond time Dive in deep water Where the sun don’t shine Breathe in each other ‘til the seas run dry We’ll fly together So far and wide A trip to Mars And dance beyond time Dive in deep water Where the sun don’t shine Breathe in each other ‘til the seas run dry 2024 Alfred C.

Yo era chicos y me acuerdo de esta series también mi oso y yo tres en la carreteras bonanza rin tintin viaje al fondo del mar los persuasores y un sin fin más
Looks it, but to be fair, it was around noon on a very hot and humid day in New Jersey. In the other video I posted, he becomes pretty animated when he see the Hyenas in the adjacent enclosure.
Hii! I stumbled upon this audio tale yesterday. Felt like coming back to tell you about it. Well, I love it, very much so. Felt like I was side by side with this rough man. Good work! I'm glad I stumbled here by chance. Gave me a new gem of a channel to subscribe to. Have a great day!
Thank you very much! Quick story. I am a writer by trade. Through Reddit, I came across a guy in the UK working on his advanced degree in audio engineering. He asked me to write a script for his final project. I wrote The Day Ends Darkly and he finished the music, sound effects, while a friend of his did the narration. He received a high grade!
@@AlfredCMartino Hehe, I'm glad he did get a good grade on this project. The audio engineering is wonderful, how the sounds blend with the narration so nicely, how it all builds up and dance ❤. Also, thank you for giving me some context on how it was created and given life, it makes it even more enjoyable. (-: I'm half jealous as a writer myself, But hearing it for the sixth time still moves me as first hearing it. I'm still so glad about it! ❤🎉😊
@@alexgauthier7740 It's but a tiny example of how technology and the Internet can facilitate creativity. Just as an aside, here is a metal song that myself, the narrator and the music creator/engineer put together, again, all begun through one Reddit communication. Wouldn't have been possible, say, twenty years ago. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eE745cDGb5U.html
How the h*ll would you even know of its a bad dream vs. a good dream or a dream period for that matter?? You have no clue and you sitting there bothering your animal from their sleep
Perhaps. But, often, animals at the Turtleback Zoo are originally from illegal breeders or were wild but brought to the zoo for rehab from injuries. The animals do not seem stressed and appear well cared for. Finally, I think there is a big silver lining to well cared for animals in a facility like the Turtleback Zoo, in that hundreds of thousands of children (and adults) every year get to appreciate up close all the animals, reinforcing the notion of just how majestic these beautiful creatures are and how it is incumbent on humans to protect them.
You sure the Lion King didn't go down, due to heat distress?🤔 The temperatures has been dangerously high and the six pack mid-section looking a bit suspect too... on a Lion. I'm just sayin'. Please take care of the animals.🙏🏾... They need love too.❤️...
No, I watched the lion for a while that day and he was fine. And it wasn't particularly hot that day in New Jersey. I filmed other footage of him moving around and lying down wherever he wanted. The Turtleback Zoo takes very good care of its animals.
