Sunglasses
Saturday, January 31st, 2009 | News and Society |
I will wear sunglasses so as to hide the tears which form in my eyes for a man is not supposed to cry, so they say, and because of this: my heart I have kept in a safe. But I will wear sunglasses all the same for I am emotional as poets come as emotional as Thomas who found solace in a bottle as emotional as Byron who went to Avalon without a drink. For my feelings I carry with me, visible for you to see like Ernst's apple stuck to a forehead. Glasses which will be taken off when I go to bed ...› Continue reading

How to Read and Enjoy Sad Poems
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009 | Self Improvement |
How to Read and Enjoy Sad Poems Love is a universal denominator, one that can bring everyone together or tear them apart. Sadness is equally universal (and with love on the line, inevitable), making it all that much more powerful. Of course, even with the kind of eerie power sadness has over us, why is it that sad poems are so compelling, bringing an awkward sense of joy at the same time as they evoke images of pain and longing? Why Sad Poems? Everyone has a different answer and though the ...› Continue reading

/p> Let me uncover you and kiss you goodnight. And Morpheus attend your sleep. Dream not of Kalaharis and of tundras. For treeless or frigid our love will never be. Dream only of Shangri-las and El Doraldos where we shall happily reside. When you awake, I shall be by your very side to show you the early rides of Hyperion. Of sun shines and glorious rides our love shall ever be. The envy of forlon lovers, the epitome of comedies. Agamemnon himself would do head spin in his grave. And Romeo ...› Continue reading

Sex is Beautiful!
Sunday, January 25th, 2009 | News and Society |
My beauty surpasses Nefertiti's. See my sculptured body and delicate features. Yet, sex makes me more beautiful! Because I allow casanovas and strangers to explore my 'triangle,' and ravish my 'apples.' For that is the mark of megastars and supermodels, and the curse of ghetto girls. Let the religionists name me a "sex symbol"; or the temple prostitute of Aphrodite. Did not the angels and the Israelite women at Peor, and the wives of some prophet do the same?

/p> The waves come and go like the feet of an unsteady woman in the house of an unfair lover. The waves roar and clap their hands like the protestations of a woman in the hands of a Don Juan. The waves wear down the shores like a woman dissipating over unrequited love. Yet, the woman is bound to the man as the oceans are in covenant with the moon, for a woman needs a man. And the waves come and go because the celestial body would not leave the seas. That is why the oceans are full of tempests ...› Continue reading

Be Not Afraid Of Greatness
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009 | Self Improvement |
Have you noticed that poets are probably the most under rewarded, of all the literary practitioners in the whole wide world. Like teachers, we are not rewarded enough for what we do. And honestly, I believe poets are a lot worse of than teachers with the exception of a very few. It is not as if poets do not bring value to poeple. We do. And it is not as if people do not desire our poetry. They do. So what is the deal? I am not sure what the answer is to that, but I do know that it should not ...› Continue reading

Raiders Of The Lost Ark Psychic Mystery

It seems to me--and some others, naturally--that life is filled with a lot of little strange things, happenings, call them coincidence, or call them nothing, because the term you need doesn't exist, and, from that point you could really get deep into the linguistic relativity principle and how language structures reality, etc., but more so, how it's in our power to redefine reality through language; though, as it stands, unfortunately, that language would have to be poetry.

Refuse to Live Your Life Without Art, Poetry and Music
Sunday, January 18th, 2009 | Self Improvement |
Q: Why should an Internet course in Emotional Intelligence include art, poetry and music? A: Because EQ involves understanding and being able to express your emotions, and art, poetry and music are the most suitable vehicles for this. Art expresses emotions without words, and poetry, is, as someone said, "feelings through a crack pipe." While I haven't experienced anything through a crack pipe, I get the analogy, which is what poems, with their metaphors and analogies, are all about. It could ...› Continue reading

Real Men Love Flowers And Poetry?

I find myself taking pictures of the flowers out back fairly often. As my friends know, I'm an enthusiastic amateur photographer and the flowers are a great subject. Besides that, they're beautiful in their own right. And, in the warmer months, with the stinging multitude flying around that garden rectangle, well, you half take your life in your hands going back there. At any rate, it occurs to me that it's not considered, by many, to be too terribly masculine to have too much interest ...› Continue reading
