Multiple Exposures
Some take a life time to find love
Some take only a few,short
CLICK…CLICK…CLICK…multiple exposures
BOOM!!
They are in,head over heals
They let love in as their heart’s aperture stood wide open
And just like that, they let love’s light in!
Some take a while longer…
Don’t give up on those who take in less of love’s light.

We are all bound to each other in one form or another
Want to know about someone’s life?
Look at their history
Their life writes a whole encyclopedia of facts
Just as the universe invites us to solve its mysteries
Our inter connectedness is related
Each hour of our lives to the millenia of times
The troubles of a man’s soul are a direct reflection of a nation in crisis.

Ths dearly departed are always ever present with us
They hear us
They feel us
Lament with us
Laugh and cheer us on in our daily victories – be they big or small
Look out for them
Listen to them
Feel them
They are only another dimension away
But never as far as we fretfully think

I want to thank all the readers who stop by my blog. I have been fortunate enough to be able to travel these past few weeks in California. So I am posting pictures of some of the places I have experienced , as my way of showing you, my readers, my deep appreciation. More to come as this is part one of this post 🙂

Take your thoughts captive
Shackle them even
Or you’ll be their prisoner
The thoughtless think less
Paying no attention to their thought life
The price is high when one surrenders
To every single thought
Not all thoughts are created equal
Not all thoughts deserve your attention
The thoughtful are wise;
It’s wisdom to not be captivated by every thought
Take your thoughts captive
YOU, control them!

A world obscene
Is this what they get from us?
Where wrong is right
And right is wrong
Ever since the lines got blurred
And our cosmic speech became slurred
A world obscene
Is that what we’re leaving them?
Can we fix it?
Do we dare try?
Do we even want to?
Or are we too busy passing the collection plate
Hoping against hope
Religion wins their precious souls
We must step up!
Own what we’ve done
Let’s begin by admitting we didn’t care
As much as we were supposed to
Let’s create for them a new scene
I beg of you
Let’s not leave them a world undone
Let’s not leave them a world obscene.

What’s in a name?
Your character
Your personality
Your quirks
Your demons
Your warrior angel
Your frustrations
Your hidden intentions
Your truth
Your lies
Some change their birth names, ending chapters to stormy pasts
Some out grow their birth names
Still, some take on new appellations in search of new identities
Our names, name our past, present and future
Our names make, or break us
Our names are not etched in stone
But some can be found in Heaven’s book of Life!

How love dies:
When selfishness stabs it repeatedly
When betrayal bares ugly baby twins: Fear and Doubt
When truth is incessantly violated by a violent violator
Lies kill love quicker than Jaws devoured the flesh of a hundred victims
Crooked hearts fuck up tender hearts
Everything must die for anything to matter
And thus, lost love is found
Better to have been found than to stay perpetually lost
Independence kills love;
Love dies at the hand of lovers committing a million acts of independence
Love requires relationship:
To deny love of such, is to put your lover’s soul into an eternal state of spiritual anorexia
Love dies from careless lies whispered in the dark
Love dies when you unravel its mystery…
