The Dance

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared beneath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance


Lyrics by Garth Brooks

Thank You for all the memories

So beautiful

Because the one i love lives inside you, I lean as close to you as i can

Thank You

I LOVE YOU

A gift

By Hafiz (1320-1389) Persian Poet and Sufi Master)

SOMEONE UNTIED YOUR CAMEL

I cannot sit still with my countrymen in chains
I cannot act mute
Hearing the world's loneliness
Crying near the Beloved's heart

Is your caravan lost?

It is,
If you no longer weep from gratitude or happiness
Or weep
From being cut deep with the awareness
Of the extraordinary beauty
That emanates from the most simple act
And common object.


My dear, is your caravan lost?

It is if you can no longer be kind to yourself
And loving to those who must live
With the sometimes most difficult task of loving you.

At least come to know
That someone untied your camel last night
For I hear its gentle voice
Calling for God in the desert.

At least come to know
That Hafiz will always hold a lantern
With galaxies blooming inside
And that

I will always guide your soul to
The divine warmth and exhilaration
Of our Beloved's
Tent

Conversations on Love

Recently I was Blessed by one of the most beautiful conversations i have ever had, and I felt it needed to be continued. Here are my thoughts on it.

Love is truth, Love is God, Love is the most beautiful and most raw feeling we could ever have as humans. So here we are the essences of the vision our fathers and mothers had for us, cultivating the one Love. Living in Love, creating happiness as often as we can. We have learned to Love our friends, our community, our music, ourselves, we have made so many changes to be in the path of enlightenment. Still with all that evolution some how we have neglected our ability to Love in the construct of personal relations. Why do we loose the feeling of the one Love when we are in Love with one? What is it that changes our thought processes when it comes to "Lovers"? We are able to love those we call friends unconditionally with out expectations, we allow those people to be themselves, have there faults. And without even a blink of an eye we accept because we Love them. But when in the structure of relationship those same faults, demons, and down falls challenge us to the core. Is it not the same Love? Have we let archaic relationship structures cloud our ability to Love one with one Love? We are embarking on a time of great change and we know deep in our hearts that those that love can be the answer. So now I think we have a challenge to redefine these old traditions with in relation, as we have redefined so many other structures we have been conditioned with. I am not in full support of polysexual relations (if thats what you like go for it) I am personally in support of monogamy with ties to sex. But I am curios about the truth behind polyamory, the ability of the human mind to love in multiples. I truly believe we can change the way we love within relation, as well as how we define relation. I believe this to be one of the more perplexing and challenging philosophical issues i have wrapped my mind around, and i really would love you to sit on this topic, please write any thoughts down. We will be Blessed to hear your thoughts.

once scorned shame on you, twice shame on me

apparently scared for all the right reasons
even the change in the seasons
couldn't hide her deceptions
should have known she'd shed use all the weapons
in her arsenal
to make me crawl
scared of what might be said
read
in a glance
her eyes wouldn't give me a chance

can't wait

til this weekend because i get to shake all this shit out. dance this heart ache away. because i know when i am on the dance floor i am a god i wish i could be there everyday. i can't wait to see you there

why does the sky cry?

I aint trippin
Im just flippin
Out
About the things she just said
It echoes in my head
So loud, cant even sleep in my own bed
When I was a child they fed
Me on hopes and dreams
Now those beams
Have all but faded away
Ive grown but I still need time to play
But as they say
Playtime is over
There only three leaf clovers
In front of me
Or at least that is all I can see
And all I can be

Is my self
Try to keep in good health
In body and mind
Still attempting to find
That rhyme
That stops time
For just a brief moment
I look back on all the time spent
In tears
In beers
Six years
And nothing to show for it
Now youre asking why all I do is sit?
It so I wont throw a fit
Explode
Implode
Reload
And try in again
Where does in all begin?
End?
At the same point?
In the smoking of a finely rolled joint?
In the origin of original thought?
In the moment your corpse begin to rot?
In the sunrise you tried all night to stop?
The minute you reach the top?

You fall down
No one can where that crown
Forever
I can assure you I never
Felt quite like this
I miss
How she used to kiss
With no reservation
Hesitation

She wants me to change
Rearrange
Be something I am not ready to be
Deep down I know I'll never be free
And I know there are flaws in me
But give me hope
Give me dope
Give me a noose at the end of a short rope
Give me a branch to hang it from
Give me something that will make me numb

Dumb

Give me something to choke on
Better yet give me a rip off the bong
Give me the soft touch of Lucys song

Give me the one who decides wrong
And right
Day
Night
Peace
Fight
Blind
Sight
Dark
Light

The one that restricts my flight
Tonight
May be I'll fly my kite
In the presence of lightning
And thunder
All this makes me wonder

Why?

Does the sky

Cry?
