Mr.Obvious

Starting a job has tremendously cut down my inspiration to write. :/ shame really, not that my works are any good but they sure are theraputic to me.

I enjoy your writing, Mr. O. Glad you found a job though.

Valentines Day Breaks My Heart

You were as a spirit of flesh in my arms JJ my love,
You laid your head just below my chin on my chest,
like a black dove that and flew too far and needed rest, 
Your whole body pressed up to mine with delightful charms.

My whole life's painful longing could not win;
With still the whisper of your attraction in me,
You made musical-tones of all my lifelong desires,
With honest and true humanity like a Saint.

I wished that we had started eternally
And secure forever that sweet rapture;
Blinded by infatuation beyond gender,
And soul mates for ever, and ever, and ever----

And as it is history, my thoughts are now for you
As every star is hidden by the sun,
And so the sun itself will perished too,
And with it, every dream of mine, but one---you.
There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.

Thank you whomever liked it. I've been really depressed to day from thoughts of the past that I can't let go of because it makes me feel like death if I do. Solitary

Of that thing they call religion.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful." - Seneca

I'm of the opinion that pining is good for the soul, as long as you don't let it make you miserable. I think about my soulmate daily, though I haven't seen her in years. I'm grateful for the years we had, but I long for more time in her presence. Consider this: proximity is relative. As long as someone is still alive, they can be said to be "with us," in an expanded sense of proximity. This idea comforts me.

A friend just turned me on to this video. It's the poetry of William S. Burroughs read by the author, and set to music:

I've really been struggling with the concept of "simplicity" and it's relationship with beauty (or "artsy-ness") lately. I want to write about it, but just haven't had any good ideas for it :\.

I felt too many of mine were too... personal emotional driven... rather than something that should be shared and had an actual message :\.
