stone

Dripping water hollows out a stone ,

Ovid

[Eros]

a

Have you even been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes
you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens
your heart and it means someone can get inside you
and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You
build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can
hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from
any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid
life...

You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it.
They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or
smile at you, and then your life isn't your own
anymore. Love takes hostages.
It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you
crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like "maybe
we should just be friends" or "how very perceptive" turns
into a glass splinter working its way into your heart.

It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the
mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real
gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
I hate love.



Rose Walker, in Sandman: The Kindly Ones by NeilGaiman

Hate

I love the way you break my skin. I feel the hate you place inside. I need to get your voice out of my head cus' I'm the guy you'll never find. I think you know all of the rules. There's no expressions on your face. I hope that someday you'll let me go. Release me from my dirty cage.

I never had a dream come true.
Till the day that I found you.
Even though I pretend that I've moved on.
You'll always be my baby.

You're the one I think about each day.
And I know no matter where life takes me to,
A part of me will always be with you.

Jenny Kiss’d Me by Leigh Hunt

Jenny kiss’d me when we met
Rising from the chair she sat in.
Time, you thief, who love to get,
All upon your list, put that in.

Say I’m weary, say I’m sad,
Say that health and wealth have missed me,
Say I’m growing old, but add …
Jenny kissed me.

Social Note by Dorothy Parker

Lady, Lady, should you meet
One whose ways are all discreet
One who murmurs that his wife
Is the loadstar of his life.
One who keeps assuring you,
That he never was untrue --
Never loved another one,
Lady, Lady, better run.

[Saddaddy]

Lady

Tell me , why lady why?
Do you tell me that you will
If you won't
Why lady why
Do you treat me like you do
If you don't
You better make up your mind
Make it or take it on home.

Mind ...

To Lucasta (on going to wars) by Richard Lovelace

Tell me not sweet, I am unkind,
That from the nunnery
Of thy chaste breast and quiet mind
To war and arms I fly.

True, a new mistress now I chase,
The first foe in the field
And with a stronger faith embrace,
A sword, a horse, a shield.

Yet this inconsistency is such
As you too, shall adore.
I could not love thee dear so much,
Loved I not honor more.

[Saddaddy]

Faith

No coward soul is mine ,
No trembler in the world's storm-trouble sphere;

And faith shine's equal , arming me from fear .

I’m moving on. At last I can see, life has been patiently waiting for me.
And I know there’s no guarantees, but I’m not alone.

And I have made up my mind that those days are gone.

The Look by Sara Teasdale

Strephon kissed me in the spring,

But Colin only looked at me
And never kissed at all

Robin’s lost in play
But the look in Colin’s eyes
Haunts me night and day.

Lost (oh good, here's one of my alltime favorites)

I am Not Yours by Sara Teasdale

I am not yours, not lost in you
Not lost, although I long to be,
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.

You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright.
Yet, I am I, and long to be
Lost, as a light is lost in light.

Plunge me deep in love, put out my senses
Leave me deaf and blind
Swept by the tempest of your love
A taper in a rushing wind.

[Clint]

Beautiful

I wish I could tie you up in my shoes.
Make you feel unpretty, too.

But what does that mean to you.

Same old me again today.

Got the craving for some lunch.
But I ain't got nothin' to munch.
My mind is set on just one wish.
A big ole' sandwich.......
Tunafish!
Time to make a grocery run.
I'll walk there in the morning sun.
And make a list of what I need most.
Tunafish and bread for toast!
And though my stomach may be empty,
I'll feed my head from a horne of plenty.
Roll a joint Bob Marley style,
And smoke it till' it makes me smile!
Startin' up in aisle one,
Fruits and veggies by the ton.
Hey, check it out, ravichio!
These red lates, man, they almost glow!
And, by joy, I've always wanted to try it.
I wonder if I have enough to buy it?
It's grown in Japan, or maybe China....
Or maybe some farm in South Carolina.
Just then I hear a voice in my head,
"Stay focused man. Tuna and bread!"
But right now, I'm in produce bliss....
Whoa, I'm too high for this........
Too high for the supermarket.
Too high for the grocery store.
Too high for the supermarket,
Ain't gonna shop like this no more!

And the ship lost it's way in a fog.

The bulkhead was turned right over
Turned nine times around, and the poor dog was drowned

There was an old lady that swallowed a spider
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
I don't know why she swallowed the fly
Perhaps she'll die

I haven't a clue who sang this I just remember it from my childhood. The old lady goes on to eat a bird, cat, dog.....a horse then she dies. She perhaps should have chosen the vegetarian option.

There wasn’t a breath in that land of death as I hurried horror driven.
With a corpse half hid that I couldn’t get rid, because of a promise given.
It was lashed to the sleigh and it seemed to say, “you may tax your brawn and brains,
But you promised true, and it’s up to you to cremate those last remains.”

From the Cremation of Sam McGee

I could stay awake,
Just to hear you breathin'.
Watch you smile while you are sleepin',

Where a moment spent with you,
Is a moment I treasure.

Country Skies (I don’t know the author - it's a favorite of one of my friends.)

I dreamed my suitor would be tall
A romeo, who would enthrone
Me as his Juliet
Enhance my very being with his own.
I visualized his classic look,
His polished personality.
Who, like the figures in a book
Would make life beautiful for me.
Yet, I was kissed awake by one
Who wore a comfortable face,
Who spoke his words of love and sun
With unassuming split-rail grace.
The man I wed has country skies
And laughing meadows in his eyes.

Love

The Lost Love by William Wordsworth

She dwelt among the untrodden ways
Beside the springs of Dove,
A maid whom there were none to praise
And very few to love.
A violet by a mossy stone
Half-hidden from the eye.
Fair as a star, when only one
Is shining in the sky.
She lived unknown, and few could know
When Lucy ceased to be,
But she is in her grave, and oh,
The difference to me.

and hold the phone
the sun came out today
we're born again
there's new grass on the field

Just rounding third and heading for home
it's a brown eyed handsome man
anyone can understand the way I feel

Well put me in cold

Put me in cold
I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be centerfield

Well I spent some time with the Mudville Nine
watching it from the bridge
You know I took my lumps when the
Mighty Casey struck out

So Say Hey Willie and Holy Cow
And Joe DiMaggio
Gonna say it ain't so
you know the time is now


Well put me in cold
I'm ready to play today
Put me in cold
I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be centerfield

I've got a beat up glove
and a home made bat
and a brand new pair of shoes

You know I think it's time
to give this game a ride
Just to hit the ball and
touch the wall
a moment in the sun
it's a moment you can tell anyone about

Well put me in coach
I'm ready to play today
Put me in coach
I'm ready to play today
Look at me, gotta be centerfield

Well put me in coach

She stands before you naked
You can see it, you can taste it
But she comes to you
Light as the breeze
You can drink or you can nurse it
It don't matter how you worship
As long as you're
Down on your knees

So I knelt there at the delta
At the alpha and the omega
At the cradle of the river
And the seas
And like a blessing come from heaven,
For something like a second,
I was healed, and my heart
Was at ease

O baby I waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh-something like this

And you're weak and you're harmless
And you're sleeping in your harness
And the wind going wild
In the trees
And it's not exactly prison
But you'll never be forgiven
For whatever you've done
With the keys

O baby I waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh-something like this

It's dark and it's snowing
Oh my love I must be going
The river is starting to freeze
And I'm sick of pretending
I'm broken from bending
I've lived too long
On my knees
And she dances so graceful
And your heart's hard and hateful
And she's naked
But that's just a tease
And you turn in disgust
From your hatred and from your love
And she comes to you
Light as the breeze

O baby I waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh-something like this

There's blood on every bracelet
You can see it, you can taste it
And it's please baby
Please baby please
And she says, drink deeply, pilgrim
But don't forget there's still a woman
Beneath this
Resplendent chemise

So I knelt there at the delta
At the alpha and the omega
I knelt there
Like one who believes
And like a blessing come from heaven
For something like a second
I was cured, and my heart
Was at ease

O baby I waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh-something like this

I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it

and her memories filled her with light

she remembered the beauty
she remembered desires
and her memories filled her with light

i am the sun in the flame
cold from the flame turns away
and in these winds came a change
she awakes...

sister walk through these fields of delight
but I want you to know
desperation's the tenderest trap
so gently you go
what will it take
sister awake

when this beautiful cult of desire
has left you for dead
isolation will cradle the lies
of things left unsaid
what will it take
sister awake

and you'll look to the heavens above
and taste it's deceit
these temptations have blinded desires
to sleep at their feet
what will it take
sister awake

and you'll hear them call out your name
invoking the fates
chances are you've travelled too far
in stirring their hate
what will it take
sister awake

flame(s)

And every day the quiet clay seemed to heavy and heavier grow
So on I went, though the dogs were spent, and the grub was getting low.
The trail was bad, and I felt half-mad, though I swore I would not give in.
I’d often sing to the hateful thing, and it hearkened with a grin.

Till I came to the marge on Lake LaBarge, and a derelict there lay
It was jammed in the ice, but I saw with a trice it was called the “Alice May.”
I looked at it and I thought for a bit, then I looked at my frozen chum
And “Here” said I, with a sudden cry, “is my cre-ma-tor-eum.

Some planks I tore from the cabin floor and I lit the boiler fire;
Some coal I found that way lying around and I heaped the fuel higher;
The flames just soared, and the furnace roared, such a blaze you seldom see;
And I burrowed a hole in the glowing coal, and I stuffed in Sam McGee.


A little bit more of the poem - "The Cremation of Sam McGee" - one of my favorites!

Man's unhappiness, as I construe,
comes of his greatness; it is because
there is an infinite in him, which
with all his cunning he cannot quite
bury under the finite.

Put on your best dress baby

Cuz there's a party honey
way down beneath the neon lights
all day you been working that hard line
now tonight you're gonna have a good time

I work 5 days a week girl
loading crates down on the dock
I take my hard earned money
and meet my girl down on the block
Monday when the foreman calls time
I've already got friday on my mind

When that wistle blows, girl I'm down the street
I'm home, I'm outa my work clothes

When I'm out in the street
I walk the way I wanna walk
When I'm out in the street
I talk the way I wanna talk

"Had I to carve an inscription on my tombstone, I would ask for none other than 'The Individual.'

--Soren Kierkegaard

[jjjjbo]

ASK

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and
fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the
world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won't feel insecure around
you. We are born to manifest the Glory of God that is
within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in
everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we
unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As
we are liberated from our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others.

She Comes Not by Herbert Trench

She comes not when noon is on the roses –
Too bright is day

From work and play

But when the night is on the hills and the
Great voices roll in from the sea
In starlight and candle-light and dreamlight,
She comes to me.

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others, to give one’s self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived … this is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson “Success”

love


"Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so
vulnerable. It opens up your chest and it opens your heart and it means
someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these
defenses. you build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt
you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person,
wanders in to your stupid life... You give them a piece of you. They
don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile
at you, and them your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages.
It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness,
so a simple phrase like "maybe we should just be friends" or "how very
perceptive" turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart.
It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul
hurt, a body hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate
love" -Neil Gaiman

On a one way ticket to the Promised Land

Well hey little girl with the red dress on
There's a party tonight down in Memphis-town
I'll be going down there if YOU need a ride
the man on the radio says Elvis Presley's died.

We drove down to Memphis
the sky was hard and black
up over the ridge came a white Cadillac
He'd drawn out all his money and they let him in the back
A woman cried from the road, sighing Elvis' going home

They found him slumped up against the drain
with a whole lot of trouble
just a-runnin' through his veins

Can't hide it (can't hide it), can't fight it (can't fight it)

So go on, go on, come on, leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me, until I can't deny

One thing I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

For you I´d swim across an ocean wide
Just to be with you I'd even dare to fly
It´s the miracle that happens every time
I fall for you, oh yeah
And forever and forever without end
I fall for you, oh yeah
And forever, forever without end
I fall for you

I fall for you

Falling...........Tina Turner

[Saddaddy]

Ocean

I do not know what I may appear to the world , but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore , and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary ,whilist the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me .

Isaac Newton

"If you are out to describe the truth,
leave elegance to the tailor."

you

Well, I tell you, if I have been wrong in my agnosticism,
when I die I'll walk up to God in a manly way and say,
Sir, I made an honest mistake.

~ H. L. Mencken

[Saddaddy]

Mistake

We often discover what will do , by finding out what will not do;and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery .

Samuel Smiles

[Oldfart]

Sherard Blaw, the dramatist who had discovered himself,

And who had given so ungrudgingly of his discovery

to the world.

Mountain

I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for. U2

love

It's curious how when you're in love, you yearn to go about doing acts of kindness to everybody. I am bursting with a sort of yeasty benevolence these days, like one of those chaps in Dickens. I very nearly bought you a tie in London, Bertie!

~ P. G. Wodehouse

[SOULMINER]

I had been in London innumerable times, and yet till that day I had never noticed one of the worst things about London--the fact that it costs money even to sit down.”

--George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London

day

Start every day off with a smile and get it over with.

My

Everyday is a new day
I’m thankful for every breath I take
I won’t take it for granted
So I learn from my mistakes
It’s beyond my control, sometimes it’s best to let go
Whatever happens in this lifetime
So I trust in love
You have given me peace of mind

Alive...........P.O.D...

Mind

After all , a doctor is just to put your mind at rest .


Petronius

[SOULMINER]

Doctor

You need my love baby, oh so bad
You're not the only one I've ever had
And if I say I wanna set you free
Don't you know you'll be in misery
They call me (Dr. Love)
They call me Dr. Love (calling Dr. Love)
I've got the cure you're thinkin' of (calling Dr. Love)

~KISS~

love

My secrets cry aloud.
I have no need for tongue.
My heart keeps open house,
My doors are widely flung,
An epic of the eyes
My love with no disguise.

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life:
that word is love.

Sophocles

Weight

You will find as you grow older that the weight of rages will press harder and harder on the employer .

Sir W. Hayter

[Christine]

harder

red rain -
putting the pressure on much harder now
to return again and again
just let the red rain splash you
let the rain fall on your skin
I come to you defences down
with the trust of a child

~ Peter Gabriel

[Nikki]

Child

Sweet Child O' Mine
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me
Of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine

Sweet Child Of Mine.........Guns and Roses............

A crown is merely a hat that let's the rain in .

Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king;who will no more be admonished .

Ecclesiastes 4;13

child

Come away, human child to the water
Come away, human child
to the water and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand
for the world's more full of weeping
than you can understand

~ W. B. Yeats

[Saddaddy]

Understand

I used to tell my husband that ,if he could make me understand something , it would be clear to all the other people in the country .

husband

If you cannot have your dear husband for a comfort and a delight, for a breadwinner and a crosspath, for a sofa, chair or a hotwater bottle, one can use him as a Cross to be Borne.

~ Stevie Smith

[Saddaddy]

Cross

The orgasm has replaced the Cross as the focus of longing and the image of fulfilment .

Malcolm Muggeridge
