We are born with inner power...often released when least expected -- not an intellectual awakening but a spiritual one. One teaches us, while the latter transforms us.

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

To Be Graced To Behold The Smiles Of An Infant, Is To Blessed To Glimpse A Piece Of Heaven

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.
|
Senior moments can be very empowering. Just because I’m used up and not good for much doesn’t mean I’m used up and not good for much. That’s ageism.
|
Any senseless poem that fails the reader's expectation should be tossed into the trash bin. Write something that inspires,, let emotions flow with harmony.

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.

"Just do what you are supposed to do; procrastination leads to anxiety and the guilt of procrastination would become depression. So just do it!"

Do not wait for the door to open; the impossible is best accessed by walking through the wall of your own hesitation.

I now stay away from mirrors as much as possible. Rely on my wife's blessed lies. Just as handsome as ever! She gets eye-shots every 4 weeks to keep what is left of her vision. The Golden Years.

Nothing worthwhile keeps when
expressed and stored outside
the Essence of Love.
|
Can't go wrong with love. If it is rejected or abused, it is not the error of the giver.
|
We are billions of spiritual atoms of clay compressed, myself doubting that God made me that quickly, haphazardly as biblically misinterpreted. Maybe just my daily garment off the rack.

"Flowers are kissed by the rain as they get a bath."

Dangerous, powerful...and seductive. What more could one want from life!?

Know the difference between oppression & suppression. Oppression is overt, can easily be identified & “conquered”. Suppression happens in subtle realms of consciousness, is subconscious or unconscious. Many sophisticated, educated masculines, are involved in suppression of feminines for fear of descending into subconscious realm to unshackle masculine domination/control there. Unless we recognise how this suppression is exercised to retain egoic selves, we remain trapped in humanity’s prisons.

Pain I had,
filtered
what was impure
and blessed me
with true joy.

In a democracy based on fair elections, no one person is responsible for war, but a majority of eligible voters are.

I am embarrassed by the Christian I was 10 years ago, and 10 years from now I will be embarrassed by the Christian I am now. (Don't be unequally yoked in any relationship. We are to be set apart from the world). Dr. Richard Phillips

If you want to call yourself a Poet, don’t let anyone speak on your behalf - speak in own poetic voice. Don’t let anybody else speak about your abuse, expériences or healing. You not only give away your poetic license, you give away your power to feel completely. Any trauma will be diluted in this way & your cycles of repressed emotion will remain repressed in fragments. Worse, it will be coloured by someone else calling themselves collaborators. This is a sophisticated form of power usurping.

“Peace was once as ubiquitous as breath upon the earth—until mankind, seduced by its own inquietude, began to suspect that existence itself was insufficient.”

The more power, influence, and allies one has, the more likely they are to be biased.

The art of love is composed of all the moments
that happen on a perfectly ordinary day.
|
When they stare at you for who you used to be, pray for them. It’s unhealthy for the living to dwell in a cemetery.
|
The things I post here as my Quotes about poetry are not intended as rules to be followed but as propositions to be discussed. It is also important to understand that they have been developed a posteriori, not a priori.
|
"If love lived as we imagine rather than dressed in reality’s fashion, the world would be filled with wonderful passion."
|
Still, I remain. because love in its rawest form, is not gentle. It is a tether that bruises the skin, a chain dressed as devotion, a prayer whispered into nothing with the desperate hope that nothing will answer.
|
My love kissed me, and it lasted forever in my mind.
|
A good poem is addressed to the person who reads it, not to the person who writes it. By this standard, there are practically no good poems being written today.
|
Writing is very personal, the sensed need to do so. To inform, to share, to motivate -- to touch the physically untouchable. The later is generally my reason.
