Well You Need'nt
but go ahead and do - if you like - when you like - what ever you like - well I guess we just like to love to like what we do - as long as we're doing it - with people we like - who like us too.

[ I looked at her alabaster pink flesh
framed in gold and black
A look of Love
frozen forever in brushed oil
a verticle cross section of timeless grace
floating above my head in space

Her green eyes caught me up
saved me
from some distraction of the day
and reeled me in

I pressed my nose up to hers
so our breath could touch
and the camera clicked
capture

My skin turns to shiny oil
I am now frozen with her
forever for others to find
lest they forget
A look of Love. ]



(thanx - VE !)

A Separate Reality

(Musings, Contemplations, Aspirations, Longings,
For a Union of Mind & Heart)

There is no war outside
no acts of terror
that are not inside you first
inside us is a beautiful bloody battleground
which we must resolve
mostly on our own.

an Individual goes to war,
to dance, to love,
(an explorer)
there inside - choosing
making choices,
that change,
about how to best be led,
choose to be led,
along an unknown path,
fine tuning, taking, touching, releasing -
this sound, that shape,
colors and memories,
about what it looks like to feel -
moving on - tireless, and preserving themselves
even when broken,
until they land one day...
something says thats It. How sweet.

a deep vast calm equal in its place to the sky
and the sun reflecting on the moon.
a perfect moment completely lost from time

forever ...which slips away quietly unnoticed.
