27/Ireland I just want to share my slice of imagination with the world
Her hair falls in magnificent curls, framing her face with natural light. The sun glistens on her cheek, reminiscent of a sunsets reflection on a river. Her eyes sparkle with a playful disobedience, Like a bold child she craves my reaction. Her body forms an hour glass, like the sands of time she slowly takes my breath away. As an angel calling to me from heaven, she takes me to bed. We lay there in still embrace, reality melting as she strokes my head. I love this girl with all my heart, to her I owe eternity.

Eternity
The man with fair hair Trades his words ever so wisely, For he knows that true wisdom Should never be shared lightly. He told me before: “Impart your wisdom with grace For it is fragile, the mind. You should never speak in haste Without thought to be kind. See people misunderstand things If they lack explanation, They struggle to comprehend So decide on an interpretation. Which is not always right Or what was meant to be, Often losing sight Of the grand mystery.” For this mystery is eternal It is written in many a book, All religions share the sentiment And have used it to cook Their own manifesto On what life should be And how you should live it To atone with divine energy. From reading I have found And believe to have understood Love is the answer To all that is good

Love Is The Answer
We sat there on the old park bench, Licking our lips with a luscious lament. She said not to worry It's not the first time she felt this way, It's not your burden to carry Or price to pay. I tell her I don't mind I'll stay here till morn, We can watch the sun rise And shatter the dawn. In the mean time we can map All the stars in the sky, Gaze with amazement As they brighten then die. For if my words are no good And there's no deed to be done, I'll give you my time And a shoulder to cry on.

Time
Brick         By             Brick A house is built Hour         By             Hour The house becomes a home Day         By             Day The home turns into memories Year         By             Year The memories turn into people Century         By             Century The people turn into stories Story         By             Story Stories turn into legends Legend         After             Legend History is changed Piece         By             Piece Lives are changed Person         By             Person Love is spread One Love         After             Another Bricks are purchased That build houses That turn into homes That create memories That turn into people That turn into stories That turn into legends That change history And it all started with Just. One. Brick.

The Little Things
Imagine the days Spent playing endless charades, With a ****** of crows Holding court on telephone poles. Flocking like the masses To attend the evening classes, Of a mystical educator Renowned for his knowledge of nature. They listen as he speaks Of the glorious mountain peaks, The rivers with their bends And how nature always tends, To invoke the imagination Of even the most civilised of nations. Cultivated in sin Our society begins, To crumble before our eyes And with technology on the rise Will I be left here to despise, The remnants of my peoples glazed and absent eyes? Technology has stolen, Rampaged, ripped through, broken. Conversations we once had Now left to the distant past. Why don't you ask me about nature, the cosmos or the sea? Why does everything you talk about Emerge from MTV? I don't care who's got the fattest *** Or the biggest **** you see? All I care for is mother nature And spirituality!

Ballad of an Incensed Naturalist
I’ve listened: and all the sounds I heard Were music,—wind, and stream, and bird. With youth who sang from hill to hill I’ve listened: my heart is hungry still. I’ve looked: the morning world was green; Bright roofs and towers of town I’ve seen; And stars, wheeling through wingless night. I’ve looked: and my soul yet longs for light. I’ve thought: but in my sense survives Only the impulse of those lives That were my making. Hear me say ‘I’ve thought!’—and darkness hides my day.

Alone
By and by Man will try To get out into the sky, Sailing far beyond the air From Down and Here to Up and There. Stars and sky, sky and stars Make us feel the prison bars. Suppose it done. Now we ride Closed in steel, up there, outside Through our port-holes see the vast Heaven-scape go rushing past. Shall we? All that meets the eye Is sky and stars, stars and sky. Points of light with black between Hang like a painted scene Motionless, no nearer there Than on Earth, everywhere Equidistant from our ship. Heaven has given us the slip. Hush, be still. Outer space Is a concept, not a place. Try no more. Where we are Never can be sky or star. From prison, in a prison, we fly; There's no way into the sky.

Science-fiction Cradlesong
A lover asked his beloved, Do you love yourself more than you love me? The beloved replied, I have died to myself and I live for you. I’ve disappeared from myself and my attributes. I am present only for you. I have forgotten all my learning, but from knowing you I have become a scholar. I have lost all my strength, but from your power I am able. If I love myself I love you. If I love you I love myself.

Do You Love Me?
When I heard the learn’d astronomer, When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me, When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them, When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room, How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick, Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself, In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer
On the beach at night alone, As the old mother sways her to and fro, singing her husky song, As I watch the bright stars shining—I think a thought of the clef of the universes, and of the future. A vast similitude interlocks all, All spheres, grown, ungrown, small, large, suns, moons, planets, comets, asteroids, All the substances of the same, and all that is spiritual upon the same, All distances of place, however wide, All distances of time—all inanimate forms, All Souls—all living bodies, though they be ever so different, or in different worlds, All gaseous, watery, vegetable, mineral processes—the fishes, the brutes, All men and women—me also; All nations, colors, barbarisms, civilizations, languages; All identities that have existed, or may exist, on this globe, or any globe; All lives and deaths—all of the past, present, future; This vast similitude spans them, and always has spann’d, and shall forever span them, and compactly hold them, and enclose them.
