Love gauze,
At first so gossamer, Filmy and light, lightly filtering, Cleanly fresh, offering romantic packing for the wounds of a still beating heart. Love gauzed, At last bitumen soaked, Clingy and dark, darkly wrapping, Uncleanly ancient, offering mummied coverings for the wounds of a still beating heart. |

When you hear, "It's not you, it's me." don't believe it. It's you.

Speak from the heart.
It's risky. It's unrehearsed. It's spontaneous. But it's honest. |

"This is a great irony — people who have every reason to be content seldom are. Though happiness is their aim, it seems always out of reach. I wonder if gratefulness is the bridge from sorrow to joy, spanning the chasm of our anxious striving. Freed from the burden of unbridled desires, we can enjoy what we have, celebrate what we've attained, and appreciate the familiar. For if we can't be happy now, we'll likely not be happy when."

Allen Ginsberg - Song
The weight of the world is love. Under the burden of solitude, under the burden of dissatisfaction the weight, the weight we carry is love. Who can deny? In dreams it touches the body, in thought constructs a miracle, in imagination anguishes till born in human-- looks out of the heart burning with purity-- for the burden of life is love, but we carry the weight wearily, and so must rest in the arms of love at last, must rest in the arms of love. No rest without love, no sleep without dreams of love-- be mad or chill obsessed with angels or machines, the final wish is love --cannot be bitter, cannot deny, cannot withhold if denied: the weight is too heavy --must give for no return as thought is given in solitude in all the excellence of its excess. The warm bodies shine together in the darkness, the hand moves to the center of the flesh, the skin trembles in happiness and the soul comes joyful to the eye-- yes, yes, that's what I wanted, I always wanted, I always wanted, to return to the body where I was born. |

Revelation
We make ourselves a place apart Behind light words that tease and flout, But oh, the agitated heart Till someone really find us out. 'Tis pity if the case require (Or so we say) that in the end We speak the literal to inspire The understanding of a friend. But so with all, from babes that play At hide-and-seek to God afar, So all who hide too well away Must speak and tell us where they are. Robert Frost |

loved this one for years...
How Will You Kiss?
Lilt me your lips, our lost breath intermingling. Synchronize our silence as lazy hours ease by. Waft cocoa, hazelnut, cinnamon, scents around me. Tremble with me in paralyzing pauses. I may no longer breathe without breathing you. - Judith Pordon Como Besaras? Enciendanme tus labios Nuestros alientos perdidos entremezclandose Sincroniza nuestro silencio al perezoso pasar de las horas. LLeva el aire aromas de cacao, nuez, canela que me rodean Tiembla conmigo con pausas paralizantes Quizá no pueda respirar más sin respirarte a ti. -Judith Pordon -Translated by John Ramos |

AMANTE
A waterfall of hair cascades down your shoulders. Silence breathes us, butterflies in our hands. Our dinners half eaten packed for later. A five star meal relished on our warm spines. While we languish on rented sheets. No bickering moments, dismal doubts, or monotonous chores shudder our cloistered moments. Eternity is not a diamond ring. It is here. Grace Ezequiel |

On bigotry: I spent a little bit of time researching the term bigotry: how the term bigotry is defined, how it operates, its etymology. Results of my limited research include a commonly held definition (wiki):
Bigotry is the state of mind of a bigot, defined by Merriam-Webster as "a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially: one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance." [1] Bigotry may be based on real or perceived characteristics, including age, disability, dissension from popular opinions, economic status, ethnicity, gender identity, languag, nationality, personal habits, political alignment, race, region, religious or spiritual belief, sex, species, or sexual orientation. Bigotry is sometimes developed into an ideology or world view (Wikipedia).And, an illustration: The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the eye: |
