Premium MemberAutomatism denies

Automatism

seems to deny the

dancing polarity

of life and death

which is to deny 

the unbearable 

and precious secret

that life and death

are not two~~



"While the soul really lives, its deepest dread is perhaps the dread of automatism. For automatism in life is a forestalling of the death process."

— D.H. Lawrence

Premium MemberI'm just starting - in Trump's own words

Everything I've touched has turned to gold,
A feeling that never gets too worn or old,
I savor every moment, every win,
With my opponents stuck in their unsightly bin.

The more they shout and flail their arms,
The more my inner soul it calms,
Their din is music to my ears,
It gives me pep; it takes off years.

My aims are

Premium MemberSometimes I hide the truth in words that dance among shadows and lights

Sometimes I hide the truth in words that dance among shadows and lights,
I tell you that I want nothing from you, not even in exchange for these lines,
But if you look deeply, you'll see how I try to make you mine in silence,
Persistently, in ways I hope you won't notice, but always feel.
I sometimes hide

Words of My Ancestors

By moonlight when the moon shone with all her majesty, 
My ancestors told us the story of the Tiger,
Which crouched at every rumble of the jungle-thunder,
Either out of fright or from bravery;
Tiger, male and ferocious,
With wicked fangs,
Tiger which breathed fire upon the foliage that shielded
Our village from the rage of the sun,
Which raped lady antelopes

Self soother naysayer tell me a fairy tale please 
speak out a story that lingers soft as the breeze
Rein me in tight - by the light of an undulate sea

Calming yourself with a dream, let it be let it be
