Love's Philosophy

1

The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the Ocean
The winds of Heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine? -

2

See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained it's brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;
What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?

Percy B. Shelley

Mutability

From low to high doth dissolution climb,
And sink from high to low, along a scale
Of awful notes, whose concord shall not fail;
A musical but melancholy chime,
Which they can hear who meddle not with crime,
Nor avarice, nor over-anxious care.
Truth fails not; but her outward forms that bear
The longest date do melt like frosty rime,
That in the morning whitened hill and plain
And is no more; drop like the tower sublime
Of yesterday, which royally did wear
His crown of weeds, but could not even sustain
Some casual shout that broke the silent air,
Or the unimaginable touch of Time.

William Wordsworth

There's Never A Forever Thing

Dearest...
Close your eyes now
Don't you cry
It's all right
Lie back
Leave the lights on
It's all right, dear
I'll be here through the night
With you till the first signs of
light
Say the word and I'll come
tonight
It's all right now
Don't you cry now
Hush...
Wipe your tears away
There's never a forever
thing
All through the night
I'll try so hard to be there
somehow
With you till the first signs of
light
Say the word and I'll come
Tonight
Darling, don't you
Cry.

Flying on the Wings of Mind To Eternity...

I Wish boarding a Dream flight to Eternity,
Crossing Every Border of Time and Space..
And let this be the Beautiful Ambience.....
And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.
It is not a mouth thirsting
nor an empty hand stretched forth,
But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted.
It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,
But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and
a song you hear though you shut your ears.
It is not the sap within the furrowed bark,
nor a wing attached to a claw,
But rather a garden forever in bloom
and a flock of angels for ever in flight.
People of Orphalese, beauty is life when
life unveils her holy face.
But you are life and you are the veil.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But you are eternity and you are the mirror.

-Khalil Gibran ...

Follow the Sun

Come in close to the fire now
I want to see you a little
brighter now
So take my hand as we turn
to the wind and don’t let go
We walk a world that’s
turning love
The destination is the
journey love
So take my hand as we turn
to the wind and don’t let go
Let’s follow the sun until the
shadows fade
Cross the desert till we find
our place
Think of where you’re going
not where you’ve come from
Just lift your eyes and follow
the sun
I saw you in a dream last
night
Amongst a crowd of black
and white
And as you smiled colors
burst into life and shadows
go
I couldn’t turn this heart to
stone
And banish all of my feelings
I’ve shown
Through thick and thin, rain
and wind
Darling you won’t be alone
Let’s follow the sun until the
shadows fade
Cross the desert till we find
our place
Think of where you’re going
not where you’ve come from
Just lift your eyes and follow
the sun

Divine

so much of her I love
so much I’m proud of, I see
staring back at me
no deeper, truer could be
that gaze -
in many different ways
her soul against me lays,
and fills
my heart with seething chills
with waves of heat; such
thrills I’ve known -
urges sweet I can’t disown
too large within me grown
this heart
I fear ‘twill burst apart
never, ever, a la carte, but
all
of her my love enthralls
whatever might befall -no
fear
have I when she is near –
her whis-purr-ings I hear
aloud
but hardly so allowed
my heart to hers avowed -
deny
her nothing, could I try
If I could, why would I? for
she
is rich, red blood to me
coursing through me easily-
she brings
her love without the strings
such harmony she brings to
me
we listen so expectantly
from here until eternity
recline
sublime - refined - aligned
her soul and mine, divine are
we
- Luc Bat

He waits

Of wonder and to fall
To whom does evil call; Not I
From corners dark and dry
For whom does evil cry?
Come see
From whom does evil flee?
Find the light, you will see;
He waits
Open he holds the gates
To you his heart awaits; a
call

Immersion of a Rape Victim

Image Hosted by PicturePush - Photo Sharing

I jerk back the shower
curtain
as I force the knob to
feed full blast.
Piping hot water pours
into the porcelain tub
as I remove the tattered
shreds from my torn
skin.
I slip into the water…
to scald the remains from
my weakened flesh.
You violated my body
with your sickening
stench.
.
I drain the tub, refill it,
slip into it once again…
to flush the raging
visions from my head.
You raped my sanity with
your vicious vulgarity.
.
I drain the tub, refill it,
slip into it once again…
to cleanse the blood
dripping from my spirit.
You pierced my heart
with your blade.
.
I drain the tub, refill it,
slip into it once again…
to defy the repitition of
the hellish torture.
You demanded I yield to
the blows of your
battering ram.
.
I drain the tub, refill it,
slip into it once again…
to soak droplets of
venom falling from my
eyes.
You shot your poison
within me.
.
I drain the tub, refill it,
slip into it once again…
to avenge the agony of
life and limb.
You defiled every cell of
my being with your
demonic desire.
.
I drain the tub, refill it,
slip into it once again…
to drench the darkness
into light.
You stole my very soul.
.
Seven baths have not
rid me of you…
seven days, seven
months, nor seven
years shall rid me of
you.
Seven decades might rid
me of you…
by then I may have died.

-COMING HOME-

I’ve climbed a mountain,
sailed the lakes
I’ve taken chances,
some high stakes.
I’ve had my chance to
stray and roam
And now at last I’m
coming home.
.
I’ve jumped from
aircraft, skied the slopes
Pursued some dreams,
desires and hopes
I’ve tilled the clay, the
sand, the loam
And now at last I’m
coming home.
.
I’ve walked the desert,
hiked the trails
I’ve ridden horses,
tossed some bales
Learned of the sky from
Adler’s dome
And now at last I’m
coming home.
.
I’ve crossed the country
east to west
I’ve watched the clouds
from Teton’s crest
I’ve been to Oslo, never
Rome
And now at last I’m
coming home.
.
I’ve been a babe with
loving mom
I’ve been a kid with dad
so calm
I’ve been a teen with
hair to comb
And now at last I’m
coming home.
- John Beck

Wasn't Born To Follow

Oh i'd rather go on
journey
where the diamond
crest is glowing and
Run across the valley
beneath the sacred
mountain and
Wander through the
forest
Where the trees have
Leaves of prisms and
break the light in colors
That no one knows the
names of
And when it's time i'll go
and
Wait beside a legendary
fountain
Till i see your form
reflected
in its clear and jeweled
waters
And if you think i'm
ready
You may lead me to
chasm
where the rivers of our
vision
Flow into one another
I will want to die
beneath the white
cascading waters
You may beg, you may
plead, you may argue
with your logic
And then you'll know
the things i learned
That really have no
value
In the end you will
surely know
I wasn't born to follow

I'm not at peace

I'm ready for action
but, there is a distraction,
if we go to war
what are we fighting for,

the rights we have won
the things I've done
We can carry a gun
now my son is killing my son.

no I'm not at peace
not in the least
the enemy is tearing
me apart piece by piece

there's a war going on
inside of my head
widows and mothers mourn
all logic is dead,

No one is respected
all my people are affected
our youth are dejected
shorten life is expected
our mores are neglected

no one is protected,
now think about this
before you pick up that weapon,
let's be a clenched fist.

our season has just begun.
Yes there is a war
it's in my heart
I'm fighting against
what tears us apart

Mirror

Aren't you somethin' to
admire
Cause your shine is
somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of
mine
If you ever feel alone and
The glare makes me hard to
find
Just know that I'm always
Parallel on the other side
Cause with your hand in my
hand and a pocket full of
soul
I can tell you there's no place
we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the
glass
I'm here tryin' to pull you
through
You just gotta be strong
I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other
half of me
The vacancy that sat in my
heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was
easy
Comin' back into you once I
figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside me
And now it's clear as this
promise
That we're making
Two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my
mirror
My mirror staring back at me,
Aren't you somethin', an
original
Cause it doesn't seem really
as simple
And I can't help but stare,
cause
I see truth somewhere in
your eyes
I can't ever change without
you
You reflect me, I love that
about you ...

A Night of Dreams

Will I ever know the joy of
waking by your side,
refreshhed, revived from
what we did the night
before.
A meal with wine,
conversation with cognac,
that smile, a touching of
hands, a beginning,
the delicate prelude to a
concerto of passion, then,
the crescendo prefacing
the rousing final
moveement.
The storm before the lull, a
return to a gentile caress
another glass of wine, a
single cigarette, more
conversation,
all leading to a reprise of
the previous hour
before sleep demands to
replace excitement.
Who would wake first to
lay in silent thought,
or would excitement return,
a gentle arousal by word
and deed,
a touching homage to each
other,
the Symphony Orchestra
replaced by Easy Listening,
listening to cries of delight
as Nature takes its
course,again.
As I lay alone I wonder, did
your thoughts ever mirror
mine?
What would that night have
told us?
Sadly, what is in the mind
remains in the mind,
the past cannot cannot be
changed,
the inevitable becomes the
present.
Each future will remain
unknown to the other
and we will never know the
joy of waking siide by side.

Like This

If anyone asks you
how the perfect
satisfaction
of all our sexual wanting
will look, lift your face
and say,
Like this.
When someone mentions
the gracefulness
of the nightsky, climb up
on the roof
and dance and say,
Like this.
If anyone wants to know
what "spirit" is,
or what "God’s
fragrance" means,
lean your head toward
him or her.
Keep your face there
close.
Like this.
When someone quotes
the old poetic image
about clouds gradually
uncovering the moon,
slowly loosen knot by
knot the strings
of your robe.
Like this.
If anyone wonders how
Jesus raised the dead,
don’t try to explain the
miracle.
Kiss me on the lips.
Like this. Like this.
When someone asks
what it means
to "die for love," point
here.
If someone asks how tall
I am, frown
and measure with your
fingers the space
between the creases on
your forehead.
This tall.
The soul sometimes
leaves the body, the
returns.
When someone doesn’t
believe that,
walk back into my house.
Like this.
When lovers moan,
they’re telling our story.
Like this.
I am a sky where spirits
live.
Stare into this deepening
blue,
while the breeze says a
secret.
Like this.
When someone asks
what there is to do,
light the candle in his
hand.
Like this.
How did Joseph’s scent
come to Jacob?
Huuuuu.
How did Jacob’s sight
return?
Huuuu.
A little wind cleans the
eyes.
Like this.
When Shams comes back
from Tabriz,
he’ll put just his head
around the edge
of the door to surprise
us
Like this.

The Ungentleman

Untamed verbal expressions,
Coupled with heavy breathing,
From the lips and fingers of a heathen,
Secularly bound to sexuality,
That he shares without shame,
We can see the sweat of his lust,
As he dips his flesh into ink and creates his words,
To be read and seen,
But never remembered by a lady of worth,
He is only absorbed by thoses sirens of seduction ,
That seduce the ungentlemen

Your Bookmarked

I placed your tales on my book shelf,
Beside the other stories of my life,
Your past chapters of betrayal and pain you caused,
All the pages written and read in sincere honesty,
But your ink spoke to me of growth and change,
So I bookmarked thoses verses to remind me,
That our story is unfinished,
Only to be read time and time again.

I'll Paint You A Rainbow

I'll paint you a rainbow to
hang on the wall,
to brighten your heart when
the gray shadows fall.
On a canvas of joy
outlasting the years,
with a soft brush of
sweetness to dry all your
tears.
I'll paint you a rainbow with
colors of smiles
That glow with sincerity over
the miles.
On a palette of words I will
tenderly blend
Tones into treasures of
sunlight and wind.
I'll paint you a rainbow that
reaches so wide,
Your sights and your
sorrows will vanish inside,
And deep in the center of
each different hue,
A memory fashioned
especially for you.
So lift up your eyes, for
suspended above,
A rainbow designed by the
fingers of love...

If I Knew You & You Knew Me

If I knew you and you
knew me,
If both of us could
clearly see,
And with an inner sight
divine,
The meaning of your
heart and mine,
I'm sure that we would
differ less,
And clasp our hands in
friendliness;
Our thoughts would
pleasantly agree,
If I knew you and you
knew me.
- Nixon Waterman

Underneath Your Clothes

You're a song
Written by the hands of
God
Don't get me wrong
Cause this might sound
To you a bit odd
But you own the place
Where all my thoughts
Go hiding
And right under your
clothes
Is where i find them
Underneath your clothes
There's an endless
story
There's the man i chose
There's my territory
And all the things
I deserve
For being such
A good girl honey
Cause of you
I forget the
Smart ways to lie
Because of you
I'm running out of
Reasons to cry
When the friends are
gone
When the party's over
We will still belong
To each other
Underneath your clothes
There's an endless
story
There's the man i chose
There's my territory
And all the things
I deserve
For being such
A good girl honey
I love you more than all
That's on the planet
Movin' talkin' walkin'
breathin'
You know it's true
Oh baby it's so funny
You almost dont believe
it
As every voice is
hanging from the silence
Lamps are hanging from
the ceiling
Like a lady tied to her
manners
I'm tied up to this
feeling
Underneath your clothes
There's an endless
story
There's the man i chose
There's my territory
And all the things i
deserve
For being such a good
girl honey
Underneath your clothes
There's the man i chose
There's my territory
And all the things
I deserve
For being such
A good girl
For being such
A good girl honey

Purple Haze

Purple haze all in my
brain
Lately things just don't
seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't
know why
'Scuse me while I kiss

Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin'
up or down
Am I happy or in
misery?
Whatever it is, that girl
put a spell on me
Help me help me
Oh no no... no
Yeah
Purple haze all in my
eyes
Don't know if it's day or
night
You've got me blowin,
blowin my mind
Is it tomorrow or just
the end of time?
No, help me aw yeah! oh
no no oh help me...

Favorite Literature

Weave me a story of promises.
Built on a foundation of hope,
Endurance sealed our fate,
To last until time becomes still,
Memories of you do not fade,
But only burn their impressions on my mind,
For me to recall and cherish,
Your pages are bound tightly together,
Into a book I created and kept,
It might be worn around the edges by time and use,
But it will always be my greatest read,
And the only literature to my heart

I Love The Way You Love Me

I like the feel of your
name on my lips
And I like the sound of
your sweet gentle kiss
The way that your
fingers run through my
hair
And how your scent
lingers
even when you're not
there
And I like the way your
eyes dance when you
laugh
And how you enjoy your
two-hour bath
And how you've
convinced me to dance
in the rain
With everyone watching
like we were insane
But I love the way you
love me strong and
wild,slow and easy
Heart and soul so
completely
I love the way you love
me
And I like the sound of
old R 'n' B
And you roll your eyes
when I'm sloppily off
key
And I like the innocent
way that you cry
At sappy old movies
you've seen thousands
of time
(Listen to me now)
And I could list a million
things
I love to like about you
But they could all come
down to one reason
I could never live
without you

You've Got A Friend

When you're down and
troubled
and you need a helping
hand
And nothing,whoa
nothing is going right
Close your eyes
and think of me
And soon i will be there
To brightened up even
your darkest nights
You just call out my
name,
and you know wherever
i am
I'll come running,
oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter,spring,summer
or fall,
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there,yeah
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
should turn dark and full
of clouds
And that old north wind
should begin to blow
Keep your hands
together and
call my name out loud
And soon i will be
knocking upon your door
You just call out my
name
And you know
wherever i am
I'll come running to see
you again
Winter,spring,summer
or fall
and you got to do is call
and i'll be there,yeah
Hey ain't it good to
know that you've got a
friend ?
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you and
desert you
Well they'll take your
soul if you let them.
Oh yeah,but don't you
let them
You just call out my
name
and you know wherever
i am
I'll come running to see
you again
Oh babe,don't you know
that
Winter,spring,summer
or fall,
Hey now,all you've got
to do is call.
Lord, i'll be there,yes i
will
You've got a friend

Nights and Days

An arrow hit me
and it stuck
between the scattered
pieces of my broken luck
My head bowed down
My gaze is fixed
This arduous path
leaves me no room for tricks

Look not my way
go blind unless
you mean with death to
deal and tragedy caress
I'm hedged about
A rainbow's hope
is all I have
of ever getting out

I walk my nights
I sleep my days
I die repeatedly
in many different ways
Like morning dew
affliction falls
and wets my brow
at every bugle call

Queen Of My Heart

So here we stand
In our secret place
Where the sound of the
crowd
Is so far away
You take my hand
And it feels like home
We both understand
It's where we belong
So how do i say
Do I say good bye
We both have our
dreams
We both wanna fly
So lets take tonight
To carry us through
The lonely times
I'll always look back
As I walk away
This memory will last
for eternity
And of our tears
Will be lost in the rain
When I find my way
back
To your arms again
But until that day
You know you are
The queen of my heart
So let's take tonight
And never let go
While dancing we'll kiss
Like there's no
tomorrow
As the stars sparkle
down
Like a diamond ring
I'll treasure this
moment
Till we meet again
But no matter how far
Or where you may be
I just close my eyes
And you're in my
dreams
And there you will be
Until we meet
I'll always look back
As I walk away
This memory will last
for eternity
And all of our tears
Will be lost in the rain
When I find my way
back
To your arms again
But until that day
You know you are
The queen of my heart
No matter
How many years it
takes
You are
The queen of my heart
