Faith in each forward step. As well as being disappointed, I have been pleasantly surprised.

Something said from the heart may give someone a kick start.

"Haven hide me safe and sound. Far away from this cruel world. Give me peace of mind and body."
|
The greatest lies in the world have been expressed through words and truth is always hidden in people's actions. Don't be confused by what people say but rather focus on what they do.

I came with stars and bangles --
you set me in a corner.
I sang sweet lyrics, -- your dog
did not approve. We kissed,
our imitation – The doorbell rang
and we both leaped to answer.

The sunken pebbles, held hostage in the sand!

"To be sure, you may say that the kiss of Affection differs from a kiss of Eros. Yes, but not all kisses between lovers are lovers' kisses" C.S. Lewis

human imagination has no limit. i said that.

I ran a poem of mine through AI just for analysis, not to change or improve anything -- the opinion was frightening. Better than any person I have encountered, as if this thing was inside my head. The next generation really does have something to worry about. We are dinosaurs my friends -- hope our bones will retain truth enough to inspire when we are gone, to be really read as they are dug up and carefully dusted, by facsimiles of living souls.

People who disagree with you, sleep with you, loan you money, and live with you are the ones who know you the best.

There are people who read books only to finish them. Then there are people who read people the same way.

“You have to be able to validate yourself as a Poet. There are thousands of poems floating around and not everyone will enjoy your particular poem > neither should you expect them to > that’s OK. But someone out there will resonate or you would not have been called upon to articulate it.” GhairoDanielsQuotes

Free Will. It means that we not only can make choices, but we also control alternative variables unlimited. Though we have individualized souls we are part of Universal Consciousness. What affects one affects all. We create our own physical and mental reality. Time we stop abusing God's miracle gift to humanity.

When duty becomes a daily chore, life become heavy and burdensome - a thistle lodged in the flesh; but when borne with love and sacrifice, it becomes a perfect beauty.

Poetry is Truth -- and truth connects time and space. If it was true for Plato, it was also true for Shakespeare, and is therefore true for the modern poet. Which, insistently, works the same in the converse. The modern poet does not need new language and form (gimmicks)...what he or she needs is to often revisit man's relationship with omnipotence.
|
Poetry need not be defined...only that after a work is read, the reader says: "Now that's poetry!".
|
Whenever we approach oneness with God, in the moment of prayer, or while creating a work of art, there is a natural sense of omnipotence. Also, the spirit of what we create lives on in that creation long after one's corporal body ceases to exist. We are yet attached to that creation in a very profound spiritual way. In the same way our love persists in those (example: children) we have partnered with the Divine to birth.
|
Rather than measuring a moment, it is better to be in the moment, traveling bravely life's unpredictable, and often harrowing trajectory -- one way or another, you will come out the other-side. For the sake of the soul, even death can sometimes be a victory.

You were made to think that you can fight against darkness.
The truth is, you cannot fight a thing in its own domain.
The reason you see a need to fight darkness is the absence of light from within.
Unlearn all that has crippled your light.
Be awakened. Be enlightened. Then come before darkness, and it will disappear, for it cannot contend with light.

sometimes heartache and happiness
are one and the same
|
A life of satisfaction can be the graveyard of dreams.
A life of success is where dreams become reality.
|
"The future imposes itself. Don't lie to yourself by saying you're preparing for it, because in thinking so you might actually be destroying your future beyond repair"
|
Every disagreement is either a battle to be won or an opportunity to be understood; rarely can it be both.
|
A conversation is only as deep as the vulnerability both sides are willing to risk.
|
True discipline is not restricting yourself, but freeing yourself from the impulses that sabotage your vision.
|
The weight of the past is a heavy anchor for a ship that was built to sail into the future.
|
I'd rather dwell on the good in life, in relationships. Just the way my mind works. I am not big on victim-hood. Have been hurt seriously...and forgiven. Hope others will do the same for me.

What is left unsaid
should be heard the most.

A bad poem says, "This is who I am." A good poem says, "This is who you are."
