It is said
that in all
the dimensions
that we
here
cling to one
of the lowest
rungs
with our constant
craving
and our ceaseless
desire
and yet
we pour the wine
the music plays
I gaze
into your eyes...
Forgive me
for loving this life
it is all
I've known
or can remember
base desires...you know there is nothing wrong with loving life...too many live it dead...
ReplyDeleteLive life ... like there is no tomorrow ... I'd do the same ... as soon as all my bills are paid for ... welcome to this crazy anthill, Timo ... what else is new ... welcome to the club ... meow ... catnip is appreciated anytime ... Love, cat.
ReplyDeleteI love this life, too........and I love your poem, Timo. So much!
ReplyDeleteBRIAN: Right. No looking back.
ReplyDeleteCAT: I'd like to live life like there was no yesterday.
SHERRY: Love ya, kiddo!
Who can blame us for relishing in the lives we have been given, when we know no other way. I like the perspective you offer.
ReplyDeleteI forgive you and meet you on whatever rung. That said, how wonderful the reminder that their are two sides to the reality!
ReplyDelete"There" are! What was I thinking? Oy. (Perfectionist speaking.)
ReplyDeleteYou blow me away sometimes, Timo. I won't gush, but this is some good writing, and I really like it, and also, I really feel it to be true in that bone deep kind of way.
ReplyDeleteThe concision and directness of this piece leap off the page. So well written... and the message is pretty profound, too!

ReplyDeleteYour words:
ReplyDelete"I gaze

Simple yet full of life... spun with craft
ReplyDeleteIt is what it is...if only we could some how forgot the dogma that has conditioned us to think it's not supposed to be fun! Live it Poet...for all of us who can't! ;)
ReplyDeleteKERRY: I'm with you!
ReplyDeleteSUSAN: 2 sides to reality--that's why some of us are two-faced!
HEDGEWITCH: Thank you so much...I think it speaks to the existential dilemma that many of us find ourselves grappling with--when we're not grappling with a partner and such.
MARIAN: Love loves love...so thanks, love.
MAGYAR: The music plays...and everyone must dance. Thanks, amigo.
AIDZ: Great to see you here!

ReplyDeleteYou have a remarkable way of just simply nailing it, Timoteo! Brilliant writing!
ReplyDeleteI often wonder if there is more out there, more than what I've experienced. But yes, pour a drink & enjoy the life you live. Well said, here.
