                      Paint me if you must... 
                       
                      as just another delusional fool 
                      while this trembling ink 
                      floods the page in harmonious prose 
                       
                      And what one may deem as madness, 
                      another deems as an absolute joy. 
                      So paint me if you must 
                      but with every color of the rainbow 
                      extracting 
                      purifying 
                      heaven's kiss descending as you go 
                       
                      And if you must paint me, 
                      then paint all of me 
                       
                      With melancholic drops that trickle down the pen 
                      stenciled in 
                      absorbing the grey tones of my heart; 
                      this place where inspiration may even sometimes get lost 
                      within the bondage and constraints placed on that vital part. 
                       
                      So if you feel you must paint me, 
                      you must paint 'all' of me

                      They wrote a prescription 
                      to sell me what everyone dreams. 
                      But the cards have been stacked in the deck 
                      all around me it seems. 
                       
                      True melting pot, 
                      some Brunswick stew... 
                      Yet I have to assimilate,

                      give up part of me while others paint a stable status quo true

                      or escape;

                      To acknowledge 
                      but option to ignore what it means 
                      is the ultimate privilege that one can consume

                      to fill in the cracks in the rainbow 
                      But for some kats to stay that high 
                      they need to keep others down below

                      back door part of the American dream 
                      that even the kitten can see. 
                      But I'm gonna keep reaching out 
                      to make a righteous difference with every part of me.

                      But if one complains,they are only labeled as rebellious or someone that rants

                      Running through the matrix: 
                      cut-out patterns that are sometimes preconceived 
                       
                      So maybe one should shake my family tree 
                      before doing an institutional profiling on me 
                       
                      The ones that journeyed before me,history calls it "the trail of tears" 
                      This forceful control and separation because of someone else trail of fears 
                       
                      Some mythology is bound by fear 
                      Sometimes even the heroic rugged individualist has been taught not to see 
                      in fear that merit and virtue alone may not have gotten them here 
                       
                      I'm not here to try and take anything away from the hard work or struggles it takes to fulfill one's dream 
                      but only to acknowledge the nameless,unearned privileges that go unseen

                      Thank you so much joyusall2 and Lynn for your kind words. 
                       
                      Please feel free to share your writes,thoughts,words--anything you want to share . 
                       
                       
                      Awaken 
                       
                       
                      More than an introduction 
                      More than just a note 
                      The soul was awakened 
                      With the words that he had wrote 
                       
                      O' goddess of memory-- 
                      Mother of all muses, 
                      Did you hear my secrets I told the moon ? 
                       
                      If indeed, 
                      Guide his words back soon 
                      So that upon my heart, 
                      He may write a tune 
                       
                      Words once sealed with promises 
                      Now broken, 
                      Is the reason my pen runs dry 
                       
                      A heart once scattered 
                      To the wind, 
                      Is the reason my pen will sometimes cry 
                       
                      So I dare not-- 
                      Ask not 
                      For a love that the soul longs to find 
                       
                      Just a beautiful tune upon my heart 
                      I ask, 
                      And then 
                      If only for a moment, 
                      My soul to take flight 
                       
                      O' goddess of memory-- 
                      Mother of all muses, 
                      Did you hear my secrets I told the moon ? 
                       
                       
                      If indeed, 
                      Guide his words back soon 
                      So that upon my heart, 
                      He may write a tune

                      So wonderful to read. I can't even begin to understand where in your heart you write that from.

                      Wondering if you write for the simple reasons that I, and many others here write? Is it therapy, healing past & or old wounds? Is it a love for the written word, or expression that cleanses, purges, releases the inner pain of the soul? Anyway, I think you need to publish this stuff, write a book, unless you already have. You are an extremely gifted writer    Only, Lynn

                      thank you Joseph

                      I have enjoyed your writes as well   
                       
                      A warm welcome to ya 
                       
                       
                      When a Moment Becomes a Forever And a Day 
                       
                      Smile a little smile 
                      Dream a little dream 
                      Stand on this mountain top 
                      Be the wind with me 
                       
                      When the night falls, 
                      Let the moon whisper it's secrets of the dark, 
                      In the dark...awaiting a new dawn 
                       
                      Now dance with me.... 
                      Dance in the rain 
                      Knowing the only shelter you need 
                      Is me...holding you in my heart 
                       
                      There is this one I know 
                      That paints 'love' 
                      Using the colors of a rainbow 
                      After the rain, 
                      Reminding us that the spirit never forgets... 
                       
                      To remind us, 
                      Nor should we 
                      As we go 
                      Dancing with our hearts 
                      Together 
                      Embraced as one 
                       
                       
                      And with a rush of yearning, 
                      While embracing a single moment only to make it last, 
                      Let the world go on without us 
                      While we slow down,making a new memory to hold fast 
                       
                      So stay and I'll hold you like a lover should 
                      Just sit with me awhile 
                      You've already touched me from a distance 
                      I just want to feel your smile

                      When the night falls 
                      Making it's shadows on the hour window pane, 
                      The world passes by in a carnivore of time 
                      As I plan our escape 
                       
                       
                      It is there that I reach for you 
                      On a forgotten mountain top 
                      That holds no history 
                      Awaiting 
                      Timeless 
                      For a dream that has no end 
                       
                      Awaiting two lovers 
                      Floating 
                      In an infinite field of nature's whispers 
                      Descending like a kiss from heaven 
                      As we dance with our hearts 
                      Free falling 
                      With no memory of fear or obstacles, 
                      Only to embrace the art of making a moment stand still

                      Beyond Sensual Delight 
                       
                      That part of me, 
                      this invisible entity, 
                      now,not so easily hidden.... 
                      Is it that transparent? 
                      Did I give him a window to that very part of my soul 
                      that is so quick to take center stage to my thoughts, 
                      passions, 
                      desires 
                       
                      Indeed, 
                      this fleshly desire, 
                      needing, 
                      wanting to devour him beyond sensual delight, 
                      driven by a force that now dictates and occupies my whole body 
                       
                      Now my appetite, 
                      my thirst 
                      is marked by a physical instinct 
                      of it's own control,taking my sexual need and hunger out of control 
                       
                      All this is outward, 
                      so he sees...he knows 
                      But I do not think he knows that my own personification of the soul 
                      is what also controls him as well 
                       
                      But it is too late...we can't turn back..... 
                      My mind and body knows what will please him the most 
                      and my body aches to give into his every 
                      passion, 
                      every desire 
                      and I am there...to take...what my body needs 
                       
                      Arousal then momentary denial, 
                      only to pull him in closer, 
                      only to make him more eager and ultimately even more aroused 
                       
                      I speed up then I slow down, 
                      allowing the mind to catch up and absorb 
                      so we can make this rush and sensation linger as long as we possibly can 
                       
                      Our bodies quiver, 
                      trembling 
                      not allowing any movement or touch at this moment...instead,allowing this brief, 
                      intense sensation 
                      to complete itself 
                       
                      As we continue,climax follows willingly each time, 
                      never to duplicate, 
                      but still we find ourselves 
                      chasing that first explosion of release 
                       
                      Now,we have taken ourselves as far as we can go 
                      Our lust and passion can only take us to this moment...lost to this moment... 
                      One part of the soul coming unwound 
                       
                       
                      And that is what we embraced--just the moment, 
                      as I will continue to long for the one that can open the eyes of my heart 
                      and has a window to every part of my soul...as I long to take it beyond that moment

                      Stopped by just to say hi, 
                      Miss my friend, where has she gone? 
                      Haven't even talked for awhile on the phone. 
                      She has the voice of a southern belle 
                      Don't step on a friend or she will give you hell. 
                      A truer friend you will never find, 
                      This southern gal is one of a kind.

                      My Park Bench Friend 
                       
                      "He's just an old crazy fool with voices in his head. 
                      He still talks to his wife....ten years,she's been dead." 
                       
                       
                      I sat there as they summed him up from his head down to his toes, 
                      from the way he wore his broken smile 
                      right down to his worn out clothes. 
                       
                      One would think the heavens had just opened wide 
                      for a final judgment day 
                      as if they sat on 
                      a mighty throne 
                      deciding which souls to take. 
                       
                       
                      (all I know is I had about as much as I could take) 
                       
                      So I got up and joined the old man on a park bench 
                      and watched my child at play 
                      Nothing could have prepared me for what he had to say...... 
                       
                      "My Elizabeth said you'd be here. 
                      I wouldn't sit alone. 
                      This is still one of our favorite places, 
                      till I get called home" 
                       
                      And right then, 
                      His words reminded me, 
                      as yesterdays 'I love yous' echoed in my ear, 
                      when you have really loved, 
                      that voice still rings in loud in clear. 
                      * 
                      * 
                      Was he an angel 
                      or what some call an old soul 
                      or indeed just an old crazy fool? 
                      I nodded with confirmation on his every word 
                      so maybe you think I'm crazy too. 
                       
                      What I do know is, 
                      I wasn't there to predict where he was going 
                      and it didn't seem to matter to him where I had been. 
                      I welcomed his loving kindness and was humbled in simply knowing 
                      someone like him to greet me as his friend.

                          Paint me if you must... 
                           
                          as just another delusional fool 
                          while this trembling ink 
                          floods the page in harmonious prose 
                           
                          And what one may deem as madness, 
                          another deems as an absolute joy. 
                          So paint me if you must 
                          but with every color of the rainbow 
                          extracting 
                          purifying 
                          heaven's kiss descending as you go 
                           
                          And if you must paint me, 
                          then paint all of me 
                           
                          With melancholic drops that trickle down the pen 
                          stenciled in 
                          absorbing the grey tones of my heart; 
                          this place where inspiration may even sometimes get lost 
                          within the bondage and constraints placed on that vital part. 
                           
                          So if you feel you must paint me, 
                          you must paint 'all' of me

                          What I do know is, 
                          I wasn't there to predict where he was going 
                          and it didn't seem to matter to him where I had been. 
                          I welcomed his loving kindness and was humbled in simply knowing 
                          someone like him to greet me as his friend.

                      hey Lynn  
                       
                      hey Rich  
                       
                      And Here at This Place 
                       
                      Foolish pride 
                      packed up long ago... 
                      No room inside; 
                      Left on the doorsteps 
                      that others use as a welcome mat 
                      as permission to dominate 
                      towering above 
                      overshadowing 
                      all that lies beneath 
                       
                      And here at this place, 
                      feeling confused and torn 
                      by the social winds 
                      that only touch down 
                      just long enough to toss 
                      the extended hand into orbit 
                      with unearned immunity 
                      and freedom to ignore 
                       
                      And here at this place 
                      on a nearby nightstand 
                      one may find a book 
                      of poetry, 
                      inspiration, 
                      hope, 
                      philosophy, 
                      morals and ethics-- 
                      all beautifully woven together 
                      in one 
                       
                      And here at this place 
                      where the table is fully decorated 
                      with adversity 
                      through life changes 
                      in a world where change is inevitable, 
                      balance is a life lesson learned 
                      with every storm endured 
                       
                      And as the child sits at this fully decorated table 
                      embracing the spark of hope through a mother's eyes 
                      here at this place 
                      is where heroes are found-- 
                      heroes,not for the way one died 
                      but heroes because of the way one lived 
                       
                      And here at this place.... 
                       
                      because of the wounds 
                      of the one that has gone before us, 
                      there is hope 
                      in moments of despair 
                      and one is healed

                      Then and Only Then 
                       
                      Painted with many textures 
                      Caressed with a pulse from a distant drum 
                      Flowing like a human faucet 
                      Many rivers of thoughts 
                      Images 
                      Turbulence of emotions exploding 
                      Flooding the page... 
                       
                      No desire to compose 
                      To conformity 
                      When the trembling ink 
                      Begs 
                      To ride the unmarked rapids, 
                      Piercing the veil 
                      That takes one beyond the mainstream currents. 
                       
                      Then 
                      And only then 
                      Anxiety 
                      Exhaust to a calming passage of it's own. 
                       
                      Then 
                      Only then 
                      Do I sit awhile 
                      Wrapping the fragments of motion around me 
                      As I await for the words to be revealed .

                          Paint me if you must... 
                           
                          as just another delusional fool 
                          while this trembling ink 
                          floods the page in harmonious prose 
                           
                          And what one may deem as madness, 
                          another deems as an absolute joy. 
                          So paint me if you must 
                          but with every color of the rainbow 
                          extracting 
                          purifying 
                          heaven's kiss descending as you go 
                           
                          And if you must paint me, 
                          then paint all of me 
                           
                          With melancholic drops that trickle down the pen 
                          stenciled in 
                          absorbing the grey tones of my heart; 
                          this place where inspiration may even sometimes get lost 
                          within the bondage and constraints placed on that vital part. 
                           
                          So if you feel you must paint me, 
                          you must paint 'all' of me

                        wow,that was truly captivating! 
                         
                        Hope you feel at home over here and share whatever you would like. 
                         
                         
                         
                        This one was written in abstract.In some of my philosophy classes,things like spirit and soul just did not fit in and sometimes I felt as if there was no home for spirit and that sometimes made me sad. 
                         
                        Fatherless Orphan 
                         
                        In the land of the philosophically untenable, 
                        my thoughts to paper have no refuge-- 
                        no safe haven-- 
                        no home 
                         
                        My thoughts, 
                        a fatherless orphan they become 
                        in a place where the 5-senses instrument 
                        is the only instrument I'm allowed to play 
                         
                         
                        Thus, 
                        the melody of my heart 
                        and depth of my soul 
                        is silenced by my own pen 
                        as it becomes 
                        nothing more than an analytical tool 
                        to 'script' what I write 
                         
                        Indeed, 
                        my pen practices it's own "art of ineffability" 
                        when in a place 
                        the human spirit is shunted 
                        and replaced 
                        by the language games others invent 
                        to accommodate linguistic practices; 
                        nothing more than fitting practices 
                        for those known for their verbal acuity 
                        while riding the fence of intellectual freedom 
                        and yes, 
                        while simultaneously 
                        these ones proclaiming a life of the mind 
                         
                        As for myself-- 
                        I am the simple, 
                        the ordinary 
                        that once began this journey 
                        with a deep longing 
                        to fit in their domain 
                        just so that I may listen to the "mind talk" 
                         
                        But now I sit on the back row 
                        hidden behind 
                        my silenced pen, 
                        pretending 
                        not to notice the sharp lines 
                        others use to separate 
                        logic 
                        from metaphysics----- 
                        used to separate 
                        the rational 
                        from the philosophically untenable 
                         
                        I pretend not to notice 
                        that in this place I speak of, 
                        the analytical 
                        and the metaphoric never touch 
                        while they secretly try to escape the void 
                        only left to return to an artificial womb 
                         
                        I pretend not to notice 
                        but with eyes that have been "washed",

                      You surely are a talent! I like it, all of them. I find variations of thoughts that I've pondered in my thought experiments and meditation. It was wonderful to see that others ponder upon similar thoughts. You do so so well with your works. I enjoy it. Thank you for sharing!!

                          Painted with many textures 
                          Caressed with a pulse from a distant drum 
                          Flowing like a human faucet 
                          Many rivers of thoughts 
                          Images 
                          Turbulence of emotions exploding 
                          Flooding the page... 
                           
                          No desire to compose 
                          To conformity 
                          When the trembling ink 
                          Begs 
                          To ride the unmarked rapids, 
                          Piercing the veil 
                          That takes one beyond the mainstream currents. 
                           
                          Then 
                          And only then 
                          Anxiety 
                          Exhaust to a calming passage of it's own. 
                           
                          Then 
                          Only then 
                          Do I sit awhile 
                          Wrapping the fragments of motion around me 
                          As I await for the words to be revealed .

                      a shout back out to b_y and triannalee  
                       
                      ------ 
                      I Will be There 
                       
                       
                      My appetite, 
                      my passion-- 
                      let it be the accepting wind 
                      unwinding that part of your soul, 
                      moving in you, 
                      taking us to the highest peak. 
                       
                      And it will there 
                      where you shall rest 
                      in my arms of reason. 
                       
                      It will be there 
                      where you shall rest, 
                      with an internal sense of knowing 
                      that I will stay 
                      and help you balance 
                      any storm that lies ahead. 
                       
                      No,never to leave you 
                      tossing 
                      and drifting 
                      through rough seas 
                       
                      for indeed, 
                      I will be there 
                      embracing *all* of you.

                      Should I understand?(paint in context) 
                       
                       
                      I feel 
                      as if, I should ask 
                      Where such passion is born. 
                       
                      I know 
                      all though, I tend to be wrong 
                      My society scares the hell out of me. 
                       
                      You write 
                      as my life was in your face 
                      And are totally there to interpret it. 
                       
                      I see 
                      As glory leaps from the screen 
                      Every one yearns to, and can, be happy. 
                       
                      Paint 
                      although everyone is watching 
                      The world that needs to be seen. 
                       
                      Flow 
                      as water does through stone 
                      To your proper place in time. 
                       
                      Miraculously 
                      which is not to far from normal 
                      stay in this moment of grace.

                      Before I Lose My Mind 
                       
                      Underneath that neon glow 
                      Can lose your heart 
                      Forget your soul 
                       
                      But new steps don't come easy 
                      Hard to find 
                      Why can't your memory 
                      Just set me free 
                      Got to lose this memory...... before I lose my mind 
                       
                      (chorus) 
                      Got to lose this memory before I lose my mind 
                      Carry it with me everywhere I go, 
                      Tucked away deep inside. 
                      Just thinking of you 
                      I fall in love 
                      Just like it was 
                      The first time 
                      Got to lose this memory.... before I lose my mind 
                       
                       
                      So I'm gonna sit right here 
                      On this ole' bar stool 
                      And I'll sit here 
                      All night 
                      If I have to 
                      Drinking your memory away 
                      One shot at a time 
                       
                      Each mornin' I wake up 
                      I'm still loving you 
                      So tonight 
                      Toast your memory 
                      And when I get through 
                      Gonna lose your memory...before I lose my mind

                      Got to lose this memory before I lose my mind 
                       
                      Now I like his hat 
                      But who does he think he is 
                      No thanks--don't want to dance 
                      I'm just here to reminisce 
                      Drinking a memory away

                      With the Eyes of His Heart 
                       
                       
                      They pulled the curtain 
                      closed the door 
                      but with the "eyes of his heart" 
                      the child could still see and feel so much more 
                       
                      Feeling out of place, 
                      he finds a small space, 
                      and unfolds some treasured memories 
                      he keeps tucked safe away 
                       
                      But as he endures storm after storm 
                      little by little 
                      even these few savored memories are tossed 
                      scattered 
                      lost 
                      to yesterday's wind 
                      leaving the child confused and torn 
                       
                      Convinced the past must be forgotten 
                      for it brings back so much pain 
                      But even as he begins to make new memories, 
                      he finds that in his heart, 
                      what still remains 
                      left behind-- 
                      this lingering stain 
                       
                      Sometimes,with a child's imagination 
                      he would plan his escape 
                      to a happier place 
                       
                      Then one day, 
                      and only with a child's imagination, 
                      he met and talked with God along the way 
                      and then his heart smiled once again

                          Paint me if you must... 
                           
                          as just another delusional fool 
                          while this trembling ink 
                          floods the page in harmonious prose 
                           
                          And what one may deem as madness, 
                          another deems as an absolute joy. 
                          So paint me if you must 
                          but with every color of the rainbow 
                          extracting 
                          purifying 
                          heaven's kiss descending as you go 
                           
                          And if you must paint me, 
                          then paint all of me 
                           
                          With melancholic drops that trickle down the pen 
                          stenciled in 
                          absorbing the grey tones of my heart; 
                          this place where inspiration may even sometimes get lost 
                          within the bondage and constraints placed on that vital part. 
                           
                          So if you feel you must paint me, 
                          you must paint 'all' of me

                        I love this, Cash. Beautiful. 
                        I love all of the poems, but 
                        I truly "feel" this one.

                      To 'exist' 
                      As nothing more than a mental predicate 
                       
                      To 'exist' 
                      Beyond--to the deepest portal of the mind; 
                       
                      Gates that lock from the inside, 
                      Swing open wide: 
                      The split disappears 
                      And the 'madness' melts 
                      While simultaneously, 
                      Carving out a place 
                      For consciousness and wisdom to become as one. 
                       
                      Indeed, 
                      To 'exist' 
                      At level of consciousness 
                      And beyond; 
                      A place where enlightenment can be found in 'being.' 
                       
                      And while wrapped around these timeless fragments, 
                      In a fleeting sensation, 
                      The riddle breathes.

                        the child so small 
                        and he is told 
                        you will lose your fire-  
                        -and be cold-- 
                        -so do as your told 
                        soon you will be old 
                        just the child scold 
                        until the child broken 
                        Love Not spoken 
                        he sat in silence alone 
                        Did as he was told 
                        prayed for death 
                        the nightmare to end 
                        No fire- --just 
                        an imaginary friend

                      Open Passageway(abstract) 
                       
                       
                      A distant yet distinct rhythm 
                      echoes, 
                      penetrating through 
                      stimulating all the senses 
                      cradling the consciousness of mother wit 
                      while the ancient callings 
                      open a passageway, 
                      piercing the veil to wisdom's attic 
                      just like the mystic moon 
                      surrendering it's secrets to a resounding new dawn.... 
                       
                      And as the words dance across the page 
                      by the sound of this distant drum, 
                      a caged bird sings out melodies from within 
                      as he is reminded that he hasn't forgotten how to fly

                      To many,I Am But Just a Dreamer 
                       
                       
                      This deep embodiment is but a vessel 
                      garbed with humility 
                      and with only faith as the rudder 
                      to guide 
                      to ponder through these rough seas 
                      suffering 
                      beyond the jagged winds 
                      loving past the pain 
                      and still yet 
                      further beyond 
                      to the other side of pain... 
                      one will find something much greater 
                       
                      A place where his wisdom awaits 
                      and heaven's melodies 
                      restore 
                      this vital breath, 
                      this vital core 
                       
                      And maybe to a secular world, 
                      I am 
                      but just a dreamer 
                      building 
                      preparing air castles 
                      out of nothing at all 
                       
                      But I know of this place 
                      touching 
                      moving me from a distance 
                      And at this place...no more darkness 
                      casting it's shadows upon the soul 
                       
                      And yes, 
                      to many 
                      I am 
                      still 
                      but just a dreamer

                          Paint me if you must... 
                           
                          as just another delusional fool 
                          while this trembling ink 
                          floods the page in harmonious prose 
                           
                          And what one may deem as madness, 
                          another deems as an absolute joy. 
                          So paint me if you must 
                          but with every color of the rainbow 
                          extracting 
                          purifying 
                          heaven's kiss descending as you go 
                           
                          And if you must paint me, 
                          then paint all of me 
                           
                          With melancholic drops that trickle down the pen 
                          stenciled in 
                          absorbing the grey tones of my heart; 
                          this place where inspiration may even sometimes get lost 
                          within the bondage and constraints placed on that vital part. 
                           
                          So if you feel you must paint me, 
                          you must paint 'all' of me

                      Walking Contradiction 
                       
                      I have traveled so far..... 
                      The journey has been long, 
                      and when the finite mind touches, 
                      crosses, 
                      the infinite at any point, 
                      this fork in the road, 
                      one knows 
                      you can not turn back, 
                      for the finite, 
                      the past, 
                      is now extinct.... 
                       
                      No, I can not say I am in the light and choose to walk in the dark; 
                      Truth can not live a lie... 
                      The light doesn't attack the dark; 
                      Good and evil? 
                      If absent, 
                      can it also be present at the same time,...to the infinite mind? 
                      Can one see the contradiction? 
                       
                      My soul is mind, 
                      intelligent mind... 
                      So I can't claim ignorance, 
                      give in to folly 
                      and not expect separation, 
                      duality. 
                      Can one see the contradiction? 
                       
                      Ah yes, 
                      let me serve all my passions on a plate. 
                      come and get it. 
                      Now don't be late..... 
                       
                      Yeah,my sixth sense, 
                      this gut feeling, 
                      it's telling me 
                      you could be the world's greatest lover..... 
                      But I'm not ready to co-sign, 
                      cos' I'm not looking for a part-time lover. 
                      No,if I have to be a walking contradiction, 
                      for a momentary gain, 
                      then to me,you're just another five minute brother 
                      * 
                      * 
                      * 
                      Well here I am 
                      at another fork in the road-- 
                      The array of light paves the path less traveled, 
                      but you have to give up something, 
                      so many never choose that road 
                       
                      So while you may be thinking, 
                      of the many ways I can turn you out under the cover, 
                      there is something else you may want to discover... 
                      All power...only one,none "beside him," 
                      and if you're someone trying to make me choose, 
                      and I have to give up something, 
                      before I would become a walking contradiction, 
                      I'd give up you

                        but do you own your own mind cash? 
                         
                         
                         
                         
                        
                        
                           
                          
                          
                          
                          Walking Contradiction
                          
                          I have traveled so far..... 
                          The journey has been long, 
                          and when the finite mind touches, 
                          crosses, 
                          the infinite at any point, 
                          this fork in the road, 
                          one knows 
                          you can not turn back, 
                          for the finite, 
                          the past, 
                          is now extinct....
                           
                          No, I can not say I am in the light and choose to walk in the dark; 
                          Truth can not live a lie... 
                          The light doesn't attack the dark; 
                          Good and evil? 
                          If absent, 
                          can it also be present at the same time,...to the infinite mind? 
                          Can one see the contradiction?
                           
                          My soul is mind, 
                          intelligent mind... 
                          So I can't claim ignorance, 
                          give in to folly 
                          and not expect separation, 
                          duality. 
                          Can one see the contradiction?
                          
                           Ah yes, 
                          let me serve all my passions on a plate. 
                          come and get it. 
                          Now don't be late..... 
                           
                          Yeah,my sixth sense, 
                          this gut feeling, 
                          it's telling me 
                          you could be the world's greatest lover..... 
                          But I'm not ready to co-sign, 
                          cos' I'm not looking for a part-time lover. 
                          No,if I have to be a walking contradiction, 
                          for a momentary gain, 
                          then to me,you're just another five minute brother

                          and if you're someone trying to make me choose, 
                          and I have to give up something, 
                          before I would become a walking contradiction, 
                          I'd give up you

                        a shout out to Mercedes and Lynn   
                         
                        -------- 
                         
                        
                        
                          you can not turn back, 
                          for the finite, 
                           
                          So fatalistic. Anybody else buying this crap? 
                          
                        The finite part was in reference to the past. 
                         
                        One is powerless to the past because one can not change the past and yes, the past becomes the extinct--finite 
                         
                        The word fatalistic,from a philosophical perspective,speaks more upon being faced with "future" event or events which are thought to be predetermined and inevitable and not dealing with the past. 
                         
                        So not sure why you would think the word,fatalistic would apply.

                      I Thought of You Again Today 
                       
                      I thought of you again today... 
                      All but just a single thought of you 
                      cradles these perceptual intuitions 
                      that feed upon my soul 
                       
                      And my passion, 
                      desires-- 
                      never-ending..... 
                      burns deep inside of me, 
                      longing 
                      and wanting 
                      to be set free by only you. 
                       
                      Still, 
                      my fleshly desire, 
                      my appetite-- 
                      only one part of the soul unwinding 
                      and could never complete my thirst 
                      without intimacy of the minds 
                       
                      For now 
                      just a temporary place 
                      for my thoughts to breathe 
                      and should I try to deny 
                      what I feel in my mind, 
                      to thyself I deceive 
                       
                      So I am left to feel truly vulnerable and exposed 
                      in this temporary place 
                      I wish to never leave 
                       
                      And this part of me, 
                      now feeling a touch from a distance, 
                      placing me safely in your arms 
                       
                      And while enveloped in your arms; 
                      a place where the world and all it's madness melts away-- 
                      there to keep any shadows of darkness at bay 
                       
                      To be able to embrace a love like this is to know you. 
                       
                      Yes,I thought of you again today.
