The sun boils off its heat-light flares
        over 93,000,000 miles away
                yet as close to us as sunburn -
    drafting the circles of our years.

Our ancestors fill our boots
        with us and our descendants
                (one pair - so many feet)
    stepping out to where we've been.

Along the corridors of time,
        our mind screens play what passed
                before we fledged and fled our nests:
    There is here and then is now.

Whether we tilt the earth to shake out
        wisdom, fame or empathy
                or let chaos light our paths,
    our curiosity is a sturdy ladder raised

to scale the walls of space and time.
        Who cares that life presages death and
                decay calls breath from dust?
    Our earthly sojourns - our souls' domain.

How much do we have to take before we can go without, how long before the draught? death by entertainment, it seemed so glamorous how could one go without?

I knew better to begin with, now its time to have faith in my oneness. opening a new chapter to a story that has no end, doing away with infinite incarnations perpetuated by masochistic sin. Death to the creator, the created, the masturbated, incubated, presipitated falsehoods of pajentry. Death to all the silly megabytes of pompous epiphany. Death to the beast that thrived off of insecurity. Death to all that which is no longer me.

Unsimulated, unappropraited energy that is free to be anything but alerts on a screen. False flags of fullfillment waving endlessly with self pity. Perfectly punctuated cries for help and lol's that reeked of nothing but "I hate myself."

Cut the net, it's a trap for something fluid with that which doesn't connect. Don't bother looking here for love, it is already in all that doesn't limit itself.

One day
When my hair is graying, face is creasing
My husband will be at work
His apathy slowly increasing
And making him a rude ****.
My kids will be at school being fed empty knowledge
Preparing for college
And the TV set will be blaring
I won't be caring
About the static noise filling the beige room,
The news guy speaking of terror and gloom
A blue glare will reflect on the brown stained couch
On which I will be sitting, with a woebegone and wistful slouch
And my brain will drift, slowly searching memory files
Going back for years and endless miles
And I will remember you,
The boy I once knew,
As the boy I never kissed
My eyes will mist
And maybe I'll cry
And give a shaky sigh
For so many reasons, and that lost kiss will merely be one
Say it in Arabic,
you're a Terrorist.
Say it in German,
you're a ****.
Say it in English,
you're a Patriot.
--
Sag es auf Arabisch,
du bist Terrorist.
Sag es auf Deutsch,
du bist ****.
Sag es auf Englisch sagt,
du bist Patriot.
الله معنا
Gott mit uns.
God is with us.
Sometimes it can be best
to leave a thing unspoken
for you never know what indiscretion
could leave a friendship broken.

The fire set forth in the heat of the moment
may pyrolyze something far too delicate to singe.

Not all damage is reparable.
The more One works through now,
the less One must work around tomorrow.
There is much Music that is good
but not so interesting;
just as there is much Music that is interesting
but not so good.

To find Music that is both good and interesting;
that is to say Music with which you harmonize intellectually as well as intuitively,
is highly unlikely.

The chances are against you.

So, cherish it when you find it.

It is all too rare;
That is why I seek to make my own
Same is true of all expression.
Taste varies.

Also; pun intended, what with 'harmonize' and such.
