All in love,
Love never,
But like ever,
It says,
Facebook!...

chivalry ~
a fine art
gone extinct

We straddle saddles
the distant horizon of homes
Unabashed Broke back Mountains...

I looked at the heart-encased initials on the table, 
a couple's lifelong promise turned  employee's weeklong cleanup project, 
I wonder if it's gone yet,
Love is set in minds not etched in someone's regret...

So they say that it's
contagious.
Let's try and spread 
it so we're sure.
If someone's got it,
let them in.
Open your door.
Is it a problem that
there's not yet a cure?
We've already
caught it and we only 
need more.

Love

Injustice coughs its blackened breath.

And like bracken he wraps himself, prickly prickly, over the moss drenched mud. 

The fog receads, its spite dulled. 

Twisted branches fall, softly softly, leaving the gentle fern to protect the wild things that live beneath the hearth....

Into the distance tracks of life reach
Worn rails from the rounds and rounds
Looking back on images bleached
Soon beached to then run aground

For as we travel life's tracks
Greened scenery caresses both hearts
But sadly life doesn't run so smooth
Just like tracks they can soon apart...

He saw me I saw him
We leaped for greatness
But we were earth bound
He surpasses my hopes
And shatters my dreams
I feel darkness in him which I bravely embrace
He’s my hope my shield my love
My undivided trust
With him
I feel that I can reach bounds and mounts of greatness
So why do I still feel so empty...

We are the only bonds of pleasure
We drink a cup of wine at night
A slave in the illusion, in the illusion of our pleasure
Don't think otherwise, don't have a heart

Alone in the night of the rush of dreams
Steps slowly in the dark
Bring your imagination with us
We are the only chains of pleasure in illusion and calamity...

Poverty possessed – need to own 
Steal away
to possess by me – and me alone
Ludicrous to obsess
need to love
Stolen away to either be free and obsessed 
or jailed and alone
With time displaced
        time we’ve grown	
                          Between a hard place	to face	and a stone.

No words to capture
elusive love.

Chased,
with boxing glove 
laced to hand.

Attempt to catch 
a feathered dove;

make a lasting stand.

Stalk 
whispered wind

in noon-day traffic.

Place a collar on a flea.

This vessel spent, so suddenly
does seek repose.

Lord knows,
we do our part.

Patching daily hatred 

with a beaten heart....

I will transform the world in need
If magic happens in one finger flick
Forgetting greed, doing good deeds
I will transform the world in need
Ending all wars; planting loves' seed
Giving cure, healing all that are sick
I will transform the world in need
If magic happens in one finger flick

Man believes
       it is His right
           to choose
              His path in life.
                 Natural skeptics,
                   we only
                    trust our
                    wits, God, and
                    ourselves.
                   Suspicion
                 is part of
              our human nature,
           and yet, love holds the key
       to
Man’s full potential.

Gray is the loveliest color
for YOU who misplaced your heart
along this man-made way,
for YOU without soul who crunch yourself
into the parameters They gave YOU–
and saw off what does not fit–
for YOU who bolted the really real 
things to the floor (a kiss), 
yet wonder why your smile is dysfunctional,
for YOU with blood that pumps weak,
life will be too long and sadly brief,
for bleak are things with no LOVE!...

I've got no authority to love
There’s the uproar
Who’s going to side with a poor man
many obviously,
 
No money, no power
my words don’t matter
Who’s going to make this stranger’s
dream reality
 
Talk to my mother, whose smile I live for
Talk to my father, whose words I live by
Your Majesty and I
 
Right now we are two different species
But it’s alright I've faced much
A few thousand jabs won’t kill me yet...

Be there not a kernel paradoxical,
in that nature which hides a truth impersonal?

That freedom is guided by fundamental rights,
not man, for example.

Love, too, must only be allowed to grow-
Love itself, not necessarily man,
is the rule to follow.

Finally, equality can be thought of in this frame,
because only man has emphasized the tradition of a name.

But our blood, our principles, our love-
Are they not passed to women just the same?...

How could this be.
He said I was perfect,
As he looked at me.
A common misconception...
A deadly lie he told
Now I'm a rejection?
I lie hear so cold.

My vision blurs,
So does my life.
Nobody who cares
His future wife
But that was all gone.

Sweat rumbles of frustrated birds,
escape and now rumble in my mind.
Thousands and thousands coming in herds,
Why so hurtful, please be kind.

Love is harmful and so blind,
Pay it's price or forever hide....
