Love myself sans him
It's not even possible in imagination
I ain't feeling bad to loving him
Cos it's the best thing ever happened to me
The love, trust, honesty and a prayer come true
A friend for life i found in you
A lover right with deep insight
The qualities i seek was within my reach
I fell for you so beautifully
I love this sickness of separation growing in me
This love for you is beautiful even if separation makes me sick
I ain't in the least wanting never to have it experienced
Only wishing for us to be together till eternity

I felt that ?
You're the navigator of your own heart and soul.
Don't depend on anyone to fill these gaps in you.
Even your own shadow leaves you in darkness..
Love yourself first and foremost my friend ?

Robert please accept my deepest condolences, it's a painful truth we all have to deal with from time to time.
The important thing is we find joy in the beautiful things we have in life.
Tomorrow is never promised, this post I recalled on my memories of the losses in my life.
Theres many positives and beauty to capture too!
Do.RoThy, thank you for your encouragement. Alot of memories went into it

I recall that it was WSC who remarked that democracy wasn't perfect but it was preferable to all the alternatives on offer.
Voting is a personal choice but it should be an informed one as far
as humanly possible. Too many are ignorant of what has gone before and what is faced in the future and both need proper consideration above and beyond just the "I like him/her" term of
reference. Politics is no game for saints and those with one foot
in the gutter and the awareness of how life is and can be are likely to be of
more use to improving its reality than the high-minded dreamers and despisers.

A sorry state of affairs indeed. "Randy Andy", to borrow his youthful
nickname, has shown poor judgement in his choice of friends and
his hubris has not helped. I recall his arrogance when challenged
by security in the gardens of Buck House - instead of smiling
graciously and accepting their apparent lack of recognition with a
little grace and good humour. The institution of The Crown always
exceeds the "value" of its individual members and he would have
been wise to have kept that in mind. My sympathy is for his mother -
a devoted public servant who has seen her offspring let her down
more than once when it mattered - and damaged all that she has
served so well in her own lifetime.

Hi Ruth, No real letters in paper, and the photographs from moonshine and sunshine are reflections of him sent to me, no real pictures in paper, just a poem of my imagination..... I read the words, feelings and emotions in the beautiful words sent as letters in the form of poems and prose and see the pictures as in memory I hold of him in my soul and heart.

Hi Cynthia - an interesting read.
An understanding of 'understanding' - may it not also come from above, that is from that - under - which we stand? And if it comes from that - on- which we stand does all ground give right understanding? Of course we all understand that we are not talking here about geology or meteorology. ?
Go well

You are a musician and music is the highest of the arts, because the most abstract. It is the musicality of poetry - its rhythm, metre, assonance, alliteration, rhyme, half-rhyme - which allows it its gravitas. Words put to measure. I admire your dogged optimism Fish. But I do not wish to share it. We certainly do NOT live in the best of all possible worlds. And, yes, Ray, it was brave of the Stones to use a minor key, but it works, gloriously. Incidentally, the title is taken from Plath's poem 'Tulips' about her experience in hospital after an unsuccessful suicide attempt:
My body is a pebble to them, they tend it as water
Tends to the pebbles it must run over, smoothing them gently.
They bring me numbness in their bright needles, they bring me sleep.
Now I have lost myself I am sick of baggage——
My patent leather overnight case like a black pillbox,
My husband and child smiling out of the family photo;
Their smiles catch onto my skin, little smiling hooks.

Thank you Po. I'm glad your getting something from my scribbling and keyboard tapping.
Not sure about your Baal Peor reference unless it's refering to the fact that we reap what we sow? But even with that there is grace, grace, amazing grace.
Go well
Yea keep our feet on the ground and our head in the clouds (depending of course on which clouds we mean).

Po, Don, apropos "ryhme" I repost this from a few months back:-
Zebedi nonchalantly sipping his tea said rhyme can be sublime but sometime a chime a chant a twisting slant that ignores you can't can be the plant that bears the rarest fragrantest flower that rears the shining climbing tower that awakens sleeping weeping cowards to see and say hooray hooray today came some really cool communication surprising inspiration such a sweet and strange sensation and please let's not forget in the creative sweat every asset by which the poet is beset alliteration personification metronomic syncopation and oh yes punctuation said Zebedi pouring another mug of best builders tea.

I see this three letter ending so often now that it begs for comment.
Invariably, it is used to announce an accusation of discrimination from a variety of origins according to its perceived advantage to the user who takes refuge in righteous indignation at the attitudes and/or
behaviour of others.

The more usual term is probably "knocking shop". As for brothels
and sin, let's not forget that a certain Mary Magdalen was not
perfect according to religious teachings but JC had time for her...
sending us back to that admonishment "Let him (her) who is without sin cast the first stone."

Simple yet profound - the one true "constant" in life when love takes

forms and demands.

This just 'came' from the flash thought that 'understand' is virtually 'under where you stand'. Out of the blue it was. So obvious! But not considered before. And you know me! 'Well, isn't that interesting!' And I was OFF.
You WOLers put up with a lot.
