"From: the Heart"    2 - 4 - 01



it has the strength

to lift you high

it has the weight

of the unending sky

it has the power

to move you about

it causes pain

inside and out

it has the touch

of a pure angel

it has the prick

of rose's dark thorn

it can be viewed

  from many angles

as a blessing

and a curse even

but all of this

amounts to one truth

one try after another

time and time again

the pain, the agony

the hurt from within

has painted a sign

for me to heed:



"Love Hurts You so,

This You Don't Need...."



Happy Valentine's Day

True love doesn't hurt. Obsession, lust, abuse.. those hurt. But true.. pure.. unbullshitted love.. No. Never. It couldn't hurt. Thats why there are those 80 year old couples.. who still sit on the park bench.. making out in between bites of hotdogs and feeding pigeons. Thats love.

I haven't been here in a while....this one caught my eye..
if anyone can understand your dislike for this particular time of year...it is me. But , life is like a jump into the pool , when you hit bottom..up is all that is left...until the next cannonball drags ya under again...but ya always come back up.
