What does it matter what I want
if I can't have it anyway...
Because to keep on wanting something
is one more good reason
to wake up with hope every morning...
Because to live but stop wanting anything
is almost akin to cease on truly living ...
to surrender to the challenges of life,
and go through it without meaning ...


Some who may suffer the void of loneliness may say...
What does it matter what I want
if I cant have it anyway ...?
But then, perhaps not just yet...
maybe later when the time is right..
with the right person
so no more sadness & regret ...

I feel, as long as you believe
your heart's in the right place
and unselfishly caring ...
Regardless of the empty space beside you...
it DOES matter what you want
as long as you know, deep in you,
that you're truly deserving
in the same measure
you can give back all that loving ....

Look deep inside the dark entrance of love
Rarely are its gates so open and inviting
What are we so desperately trying to hide

If the doors are left open too often we fail
To protect the sanctuary of our own heart
And over time we will become downtrodden

So its important to keep the gates closed
Allow only the truly deserving to enter
Experience us in all our light and happiness

Take the time to learn about each other
Such that our time becomes so immortal
And not just measured by light or distance

Seek to conquer our own fears foremost
Then and only then will we ever discover
The sanctuary of our greatest treasure

The sanctuary of our souls is so created
When we defend our innermost being
Identify and discover peace, serenity, and joy

1. Mary K. Latourneau
Television calls it a scandal.
In my book there was no scandal!
She committed no crime!

Yes I'm aware there was what the USA
government had called a scandal.
I've refused to jump on the Secular Band Wagon
to Condemn the only precious thing
that God had given to a woman,
to give and to receive LOVE.

I'm not with Ebenezer Scrooge
when it comes to this issue on LOVE.

2. The United States System is committing crime
right now as I speak!
Shame on you United States Government!
You Target Mary K. Latourneau
because the minor she was with had brown skin,
but you refuse to target your own people
when I find on different Television Channels:
"16 and Pregnant!"

3. It's ok if it's one of our own
but the child had brown skin
all of a sudden it's a crime.

4. The next time a student falls for a teacher,
first gets the parents approval,
get court papers signed.
People that are truly in love with each,
fear doesn't run away from true love.

5. Now I'm going to give all you parents
a very strict warning all u police officers
that have families!
Here's what these kids are doing now:

6. Those two male and female that really love each other
I don't care if it's a minor and a grown-up!
If that minor won't let go of you splitting them apart,
when that minor reaches 18-years old.
If some very rare cases before re-uniting
with what they call "their true love,"
that 18-year old child will come back
and sue the hell out their parents
and everyone else involved!"

7. The most scariest thing about
some of these minors?
After growing up A number of them will retain a
photographic past memory.

8. I remember a movie that was made
concerning the love and the devotion of a woman
to her husband.
She was stolen away from her foreign Government
and she ended up in another foreign Government,
she was with a younger man.
Well, as too many times and chances had expired
and she had refused to return back to her husband.
This had caused an awful war over the two foreign governments
just over the demand to return his wife.

Troy


9. This Holy Bible was only written
pertaining to only this earth.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 says that history
will repeat itself.

10. If the heart of a high office political woman
from a foreign government
gets stolen away by a younger man
in the United States.
Lets say her husband will go to war
just to get her back.
Well United States you will be forced
to deal with this,
because huge missiles carry
a lot of fatal destruction that comes with them
once they hit.
Lets just hope and pray
United States Military that
you're able to destroy that missile
before it reaches the United States.

11. One more warning to the United States.
We have a lot of foreigners now
that have American Citizenship.
Please be careful what relationship
you tear-up next,
there is a number of foreign children that still have,
whether u want to realize it or not,
they still a lot of political pull from their foreign governments.

12. The Lion had a gap in his Lion Teeth
that's how the enemy army was able to sneak in
that Trojan Horse,
in the movie troy.

This monument escaped destruction
Of Soviet's battles and revolution,
Like a church in Disney's fairytale
With bright rounded candles in the air,
Looking glorious, no melancholy trail
Hopes are strong, faith prevail.

Resembling tulip bulbs in the sky
Or intricate balloons ready to fly,
These cupola crowns reaching heaven
Do you think Russia is forgiven?
Opening turbulent, gloomy wars
With repeated sufferings and scars,
Tough harmony under the stars!

This moshpit of memories, it gnaws at the soul,
the acid tears pour, again hurt by the cold.
Powerless to silence your memory that I now endure,
to forsake this ghost of brotherhood, to suffer nevermore.

This ghoulish prison, a prison of the mind,
it leaves me wanting, begging to know why.
Why show me no mercy? Why'd you choose to die?
Why haunt me with memories without a goodbye?

Why?

On this spot, explorers arrived in Easter
Found carved stones from volcanic crater,
Giant figures shadow the island,
As if starkly saying, this is our land.
Our cruise ship made things so inviting
Free rubber boat rides were waiting
But this isolated park's not so seducing
Monolithic massive statues, not smiling
They look unhappy, grim a barren silence
Old Father Time darkened their patience!

"She doesn't like love stories ...
Love novels.
Love movies.
Love poems.
Reunions, happy endings, in love stories.
She thought love was an invention of weak spirits, like faith.
Unnecessary fragility. Source of dependencies and complications.
Loss of individuality.
She was not a cold or cold woman, she just did not believe and did not like the word love.
It satisfied the desire for sex not to create affections, commitments.

When she met him, she was already at a peaceful age.
He had built his life, free of permanent presence and longing.
For him, displayed back for the first time at the time of farewell.
For the first time I wanted to see someone again.
For the first time desirable to stay after the sacrifice or the body.
She said:
- Never say I loved or leave!
- I will never say I love you!

And the word love was a forbidden word.
Whenever he felt the word grow in him;
Whenever I knew he was a prophet, I shut him up.
It sealed the word in his mouth, with yours.
And the word love ... was silence.

He asked:
- Why don't you say the word?
- Why don't you want to hear it?
- Why do you make the word shame and secret?

She was silent ...

The promise made in a girl's bed was silent with a woman's hatred.
I was silent ... as I closed my ears to not hear a word.
He was silent, as he pursed his lips when the pediatrician said.

The word love, sign of acceptance, surrender.
The word love, word that would kill the girl itself.

She said to him later, almost in the following:
- Never say I loved or leave ...!
- I will never say I love you ...!

One day he didn't show up ...
The silence of love becomes unbearable
A new and unwanted feeling grew within her.
Try to ignore the body's call.
Shut the will ... Shut the longing ...

When you didn't resist.
When you give up the fight and receive yourself, turn it on.
He said sadly:
- I love you ....!
- ... and hung up.

He ran to her. He had waited so long for voice and word.
He opened a door to her house with a key that was hers.
The key she doesn't have before anyone else.

Written on the walls of the corridor, in the living room, going out to a street through the windows and blinds.
Written in red, as if organized inside, tearing, piercing walls.
Written all over the house,
was the word “I LOVE YOU”.

He saw her in bed ...
In the hands ..., a paper that said fired.
On paper, drawn by child's hands,
there was a smiling man holding a girl with wet eyes in revolt.
The man said I love you and smiled.
A word crossed out over and over ... until the paper is torn ...

The sky is green
And grass is blue,
When truth's a lie
And lies are true.
Black is white
Except "the man",
But day is night
Accept "the plan"
As some persue
an altered state,
Slick talk of
freedom subjugates,
Love is hate
War is peace,
Deceit expelled
From lips with ease.
Moons shine brightly
Suns grow dark,
Mums age spritely
Sons depart.
As it ever was
The same,
it repeats
But is this sane?
A worms a bird
my ears have seen,
My eyes have heard
The fault obscene.
Men are women
Boys are girls,
An episode of "Other World"!
Up is down
and down is up
Endless struggle
Nip and tuck.
Smile if you're sad
When happy frown,
Welcome to
our crazy town,
Where pride indeed's our folly,
The sky is green and falling!
WbJS 8/18/22

Like a fish bone knife
Patiently gutting stray clouds
For silver lining.

The thunder rolls above my head, some God is angry, something I said?
If lighting strikes then I am done, nowhere to hide, nowhere to run,
Did I take some name in vain? Release thy wrath? instill the pain?
God above will show his love when all obeys, what God says!
But I just don’t know what I should do, so many God’s, which one is true?
I think I will take a different view and be myself not follow you!
In this world of diversity who knows what’s right who knows what’s true,
I won’t take sides or follow blindly, I’ll be me, and I'll never deny your right to see, what’s true to you, is the way to be.
