"But heaven flashes every now and then / Probably just a cruel illusion"
I Choose "Be"
Most of us here in this world are lonely You have to be lonely to see it though We search for love so earnestly only To find it always just beyond our reach
In the end only we lonely ones know Among the ruins of us all and each That what we sing of love is just not so That those who find it soon lose it again Having tasted heaven then fall to hell
Only we lonely ones really know pain This world is hell enough we know too well But heaven flashes every now and then Probably just a cruel illusion
And yet we still hope never knowing when Lightning might strike to end our confusion
All of this teaches me celibacy
No light just pretty lies and weeping skies Empty arms and "To be or not to be?"
Well Steve this poem sure says a lot but....I hate bringing in the "buts" In my own experience, the pain of heartaches and lost love is always worth the joy of it. Can you honestly say you have lived if not for tasting love? Can we say that we are real if not enjoying the intimicies of sex now and then? Can we really live and talk and write about life withour experiencing the ups and downs of all there is to life including love? No celibacy my friend is an escape and not a very good one, you of tender heart no this.
"B" is nice but I choose "E", and as for celibacy, if necessary it is the way to go, for it makes it easier to not have to worry about a date on a saturday night..."E"d
Deep words, Steven Lance. And very much true. And yet there is always that small deep hope that someday we will find someone who will never leave us alone, never leave. And what other choice is there other than to choose to "be"? There is alone, and there is lonely. I choose to *be* alone, rather than lonely. Peace.
I met Jerome on a busy city street in Baltimore, Maryland, when he was forty-five years old. On that particular day, I was out and about, enjoying a much-needed day off from work.
I wanted to purchase a sukiyaki sub. I parked my car in an area of
