    994th Poem – “Spun Gold for a Lonely Finger” – Romance – 7/24/2020

    You crowded my eyes As I gave you this ring of gold To embrace your finger As though a crown above your head. You stood above the lingering shores Where the banks to my rivers broke And I loosened the waters to my lips, Where I could taste of my happiness. Sparkles were for The…

    Quote – “Why Love has Developed Human Societies” – 7/24/2020

    “Protection of culture. Protection of tradition. Protection of a nation against invaders. This is love, being what prolongs the longevity of humanity. We are halted, down upon our knees in fear, not submission to love’s guidance, when not ever embraced. Love has developed each human society, because through protection, nothing can crumble. We find, beyond…

    Quote – “Why Racism has no Definition” – 7/23/2020

    “When everything is deemed to be racist, then nothing is deemed to be racist. It is the same with art. If anything can be art, then nothing is art. Repetition, in terms of the mass production to something that should hold meaning and value, causes that meaning and value to become dust. It is gone,…

    Quote – “What is Love?” – 7/23/2020

    “Love is the sickness to the cure. It is the vaccine. Love vaccinates. For love prevents the damages from being done, further. Love protects. Love shields. In work, a builder will raise all that was, at one point, mere pieces. A sickness, as that is love, being also the cure. We are, when in love,…

    993rd Poem – “Of all my Brokenness” – Romance – 7/23/2020

    Let come the rain. Our fields are thirsty For the stains of splashed Earth. Our dreams remained with The sudden parting upon the forty-fifth Angle to the unknowns.

    992nd Poem – “Watering your Eyes” – Romance – 7/23/2020

    Loosening the lace about your waist, Kissing you beneath the sun, You are the gull without an island, For that you cannot even roam Is why your eyes have become the oceans. I wrap hands About yourself, in the fires To your form. For you forge the night, rawest In the tooth decay of so…

    991st Poem – “A Broken Set of Eyes” – Romance – 7/23/2020

    I write All I do not know, For the libraries have left me Of their books, Of their words. I am a sentence too late To whisper a farewell in your ear. You came in a moment, To disappear off the clock, As I counted each second backwards. Your breath sails down your throat, Swallowed…

    990th Poem – “Some Time, my Love” – Romance – 7/23/2020

    Drink deep these moments, Running across our veins In the sensation of idle death, In the bountifulness of stable breath. I come to you, as merciful, For I hold each droplet on my chin That once belonged To each stray petal hovering Above the planet’s ocean. We encircle For we are circles About the unwinding…

    Quote – “The ‘Object’ of Beauty” – 7/23/2020

    “Why would any woman state that she is an ‘object’ of beauty, when no object can be beautiful? It is a contradiction, in such a sense, when to be an object makes a person not a human. Just as the artwork is given life through not its perception, though in its identification to being recognizable…

    Quote – “Why Vulnerability is the Key to Strength” – 7/23/2020

    “Think of the mind as related to the muscles, when we exercise to break down the fibers so that our limbs can grow stronger after rest. To be vulnerable, is in the same idea. We operate on a choice that breaks us down, only for us to grow when we rest, when we contemplate on…

    Quote – “When Beauty Changes…” – 7/23/2020

    “…It can be imagined of a scenario where a man’s wife is no longer the beauty he once knew, who held his life in a place of normalcy, because she has undergone a change due to a disease. One cannot shun the man who does this. It is because a man’s psychology demands him to…

    988th Poem – “My Love of Red Lips” – Romance – 7/22/2020

    Enthrall me, Surround me, Teach me Words of a pioneer’s tutoring. I am the man who has forgotten his name Upon saddest ways. My trails I create From eyes as cold as winter’s throat, Bury me beneath, Bury me below. Your love Stupefies, Magnifies All I crave, All I want, All I need. Let the…
