          Love Without Love


I love you, because in my thousand and one nights of dreams,
I Never once dreamed of you.
I looked down paths that traveled from afar,
but it was never you I expected.
Suddenly I've felt you flying through my soul
in quick , lofty flight,
and how beautiful you seem way up there, far
from my always idiot heart!
Love me that way, flying over everything.
And, like the bird on its branch, land in my arms
only to rest,
then fly off again.
Be not like Click here one who,
In love, set me on fire.
When you climb up my mansion,
enter so lightly, that as you enter
the dog on my heart will not Click here.

my mother's breast was thorny,

I dance, for the joy of surviving,

Bonus Poem:

somebody else                        If I was not myself, I would be somebody else.                        But actually I am somebody else.                             I have been somebody else all my life.                               It’s no laughing matter going about the place                               all the time being somebody else:                                people mistake you; you mistake yourself
