True Love, Smoke, and Mirrors

We fell in love the night we met

I thought we would spend forever

There was always something missing

And the radio will never cease reminding me

"And suddenly, all the love songs were about you."

-Unknown

B-I-N-G-O!

First, the mental picture...

Then comes the act- later..

But is it a clear sight?

Is this even right?

‘In order to carry a positive action we must develop a positive vision.’ ~ Dalai Lama.

#Bingo!

Cheater.

Your beautiful bride in white lace.

You in your suit, looking stylish.

A lovely pair you make!

Wishing you all the best in life.

Always forgive your enemies. Nothing annoys them so much. -Oscar Wilde

Senselessness

Our ultimate arrogance

is the mistaken belief

that we know everything

about anything at all.

"The Universe is under no obligation to make sense to you."

Neil deGrasse Tyson

The Way Things Go

Forget me once,

forget me always.

Remember me once;

never forgotten.

*************************

“It is amusing, is it not, to want to be both found and forgotten at the same time?”

― Delilah S. Dawson, Phasma

In the beginning....

Seeds are sown in fertile soil.

Given enough time, they grow and produce.

Yet how productive can they be without the

firm yet gentle hand of the farmer?

“If you want real peace in the world start with children”. Mahatma Gandhi.

The only life we have

In the blink of an eye,

how precious this life is,

we laugh, we cry,

we love , we hate.

”That it will never come again is what makes this life so sweet” ( Emily Dickinson)

Don’t.

Because of thinking,

My mind is bleeding,

In lines that should,

Be on my wrists.

***

My philosophy is: Don’t think.

-Charles Manson

Normal is Boring

There is always an easy way to live.

You can walk through life without struggles

Or you can be unique and enjoy living.

Sometimes, the hard road is the best.

Normality is a paved road: It's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow. -Vincent Van Gogh

Chaos

When you forget the world

and act as yourself

you twirl with the stars

and your soul shines bright.

❋ ❋ ❋

“You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
