What’s the holdup? What’s taking so long?
I don’t have all day you know.
Let’s get this done whilst I’m still young,
‘Cause I‘ve got places to go.
Holdup! Wait a minute! What d’you think you’re doing?
That ain’t what I came here for.
What you’re suggesting is wishful thinking,
So I’ll see myself out the door.
This a holdup! Give me all you got.
Don’t bother to scream or run.
I’ve seen what you got, and you’ve got a lot.
I’m just helping myself to some.

If we could release the hurt that goes back generations
Just think of what a great world we could build together
When forgiveness is not swept aside like dust in the wind
When forgiveness gives a very human touch to offenses
As long as were ready to move on together in this world
We should be ok or what ever else humanity can devise
I just predict when bright minds are allowed to get together
To discuss the important issues that need to be addressed
This world will likely come together like nobody else

I’m right here where you left me
A sinking heart full of holes
Who can go on like this forever
Floods rise in a swollen river
How much will life rise then fall
A brief delirious moment in time
When life was only a top chart song
And forever never lasted that long
I must look outside of my own fear
Beyond where my eyes can see
The future lying down the road
So much now the pace has slowed
Your loss is deeper than a black hole
Where nothing can hope to escape
What can bring back such pleasure
Fulfilling life with abundant measure
So now please I just want to weep
For what was lost and go to sleep
Only after this deepest sorrow
Will I believe again in tomorrow
Pardon me for sharing my greatest pain
Washing away the sorrow in my soul
For truly when the flood of tears do fall
When life feels like we have lost it all
When at last this peace will come
Life does rise again from within
I will remember you one sunny day
A rainbow above the darkened grey

If you are in a relationship,
would you also feel like being tender,
purely theoretical ?
What should a relationship be like that lasts forever and endures ?
Then would we really feel like intimacy,
purely practical ?
How supposed knowing without a relationship ?
If you feel like being close to me, do you also want with me ?
Let's find out together how much affection is possible with us !
Come in,
close the door,
lie down,
I'll be right inside you ~;-)) = ##

Sipping from your eternal spring
an amber night filled with heather
moving amongst your curls
Oh would you not curse me
if I told you all, now,
in this moment, close
where spirit meets the flesh
through long joyful hours
imbibing from the urn
cast naked before me
for we have come from afar
awash with youth
and though the heavens
may pass ceaselessly
still we reign

I do not know what to do
except for loving you
but it seems like all my words
are not coming through
I am so alone
in my heart and bone
because you always keep me
in that friendly zone
you do not want to love me
you do not want to kiss
what does it take for you to see me
and that I am someone you should miss!?

THAT THING CALLED LOVED, I SEARCHED FOR IT EVERYWHERE.
I ASSUME IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL?
YOU SAY LOVE IS A BIG DEAL.
MEETING SOMEONE ADEQUATE & STARTING A NEW LIFE.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN THAT ANYMORE.
I WILL ENJOY LOVE IN MODERATIONS TILL IT'S OVER. NO ONE IS HURT.
NO TEARS TO HIDE.
MOVE ON AND BEGIN THE CYCLE AGAIN.

*** Part I: Poetic Pillars – Monads ***

*** PROLOGUE ***
“You give a flower to the man - and the one, in his recklessness and ignorance, throws it away.
You give a pebble to the man, then,
smaller than any pebble
the open eye would have seen it, - but the man throws it again, from the same precepts; - or you, hearing his heart that he no longer listens to, you know he was shouting: these are too big for me!.."MUZA: EDELWEISS (Floarea de Col?) – Vol. I
*** PROLOG ***“Îi daruie?ti o floare, omului, - iar acela, în nechibzuin?a-i ?i ne?tiin?a-i, ?i-o arunca.
Îi daruie?ti o pietricica, atunci, omului,
mai mica decât orice pietricica
ar fi zarit-o ochiul liber, - însa omul, ?i-o arunca, iara?i, din acelea?i precepte; - ori tu, auzindu-i inima pe care nu ?i-o mai asculta, ?tii ca striga: sunt prea mari, pentru mine, acestea!..”

Kindred spirits can’t remain apart.
All the land and seas cannot divide.
Remnants of our former we still are.
Rarest gems must not be cast aside.
Our fate is written in the stars.
Love I’ve felt for you I cannot hide.
Lovely you, your skin your eyes and hair.
Everything for you I’d do I swear.
Vast, deep, through to marrow, bone,
Years pass my love you’ve always known.
I will,
Love you until,
One day past eternity,
Verse and chapter, through adversity and
Every day after.
U!

Windows into rooms doors within doors broken hearts lay across the floors....
Distant love we yearn no more all the locks are gone from the doors...
Climate change but nothing changes within your veins.....
The dawn rises in the gorillas mist shall we beat our chests again....
This is nothing more then written shite i can do these with no sight....
(Interesting)
Here's something else the earths controlled by lizards.....
