Many of my dear friends becoming saints in their old age, which I am trying to avoid best I can.

From one poet to another, write on! Poetry, man's best....

|
Time is ours in a way -- forward and back, present...out of all we have collectively seen and correctly imagined enough to chose from and prosper~ or keep going down in flaming defeat.

|
I thought you loved me; then I watched your behavior and realized it was not love but love fraud.

|
Freedom is just a moment away; yet it can get lost in just a moment.

|
Something said from the heart may give someone a kick start.

|
"Haven hide me safe and sound. Far away from this cruel world. Give me peace of mind and body."

|
Youth is too often wasted on the young -- as is Freedom on the Free!

|
Never seek guidance from someone who has shown little empathy, it will add to your misery; instead, rely on the ones who believe in your ability to transform a dump into a palace.

|
Love—that invisible, divine radiance springing from the depths of our soul—travels toward the soul we love, and that soul, like a mirror, reflects it back to us... for us!

|
I'm not a contest person. Don't want to make my life a competition -- wanting suggestions to come from myself, wanting little as possible for my works to be the prompted themes of others -- not a feed the hungry person, preferring to fish with my brothers and sisters. I believe each God given life is a miracle divine, a bottomless spiritual well of personal creativity, to be drawn from and explored to the fullest unhindered by writing laziness --

|
Creativity arises from technique. You can't push the state-of-the-art unless you know the state-of-the-art.

"To be sure, you may say that the kiss of Affection differs from a kiss of Eros. Yes, but not all kisses between lovers are lovers' kisses" C.S. Lewis

|
EVERYONE LOOKS FOR A DOOR, A PLACE TO HIDE FROM LIFE, WELL I FOUND MINE JUST THAT IT IS IN LINES WRITTEN IN BLACK OR BLUE

|
Politicians use privatization to steer blame away from themselves.

|
I ran a poem of mine through AI just for analysis, not to change or improve anything -- the opinion was frightening. Better than any person I have encountered, as if this thing was inside my head. The next generation really does have something to worry about. We are dinosaurs my friends -- hope our bones will retain truth enough to inspire when we are gone, to be really read as they are dug up and carefully dusted, by facsimiles of living souls.

|
Free Will. It means that we not only can make choices, but we also control alternative variables unlimited. Though we have individualized souls we are part of Universal Consciousness. What affects one affects all. We create our own physical and mental reality. Time we stop abusing God's miracle gift to humanity.

|
In a few concise words, if there is such a thing as Free Will...it must be omnipotent. Anything less, is simply manipulated illusion. Something outside ourselves controlling all possible variables including time and space.

|
Best to turn away from gossip. Everyone gets hurt, yourself included, when coming to conclusions that are likely not conclusive.

|
Cleanse your mind unblemished like this immaculate new day from GOD..

|
We can hide from ourselves indefinitely...but Light will always know our whereabouts.

|
Being faithful to Christ, does not guarantee protection from crucifixion...but it does guarantee eternal life.

|
You were made to think that you can fight against darkness.
The truth is, you cannot fight a thing in its own domain.
The reason you see a need to fight darkness is the absence of light from within.
Unlearn all that has crippled your light.
Be awakened. Be enlightened. Then come before darkness, and it will disappear, for it cannot contend with light.

|
We are to fragile to realize, the power of love, for the tears we haven't cried.

|
Burnout is not a sign of hard work; it is the inevitable result of trying to pour from a cup that has no bottom.

|
True discipline is not restricting yourself, but freeing yourself from the impulses that sabotage your vision.

|
Meaning is not an object we find hidden in the world; it is the friction we create by pressing our values against reality.

|
If you treat your mind like a fortress, ensure you are not the one holding the door shut from the inside.

|
To be truly free is to be a ghost in the machine of society, participating without being defined by the gears.

|
we see news, we believe it; we flip channels and rumour uproars. The fact never explained itself, it never will. If the belief is fragile n perception is as tender as the waters upon which any body can cause ripples; then it's good to flip channels and stay entertained.
