When they said, “You must learn love” I thought easy as a breath inhaled involuntarily and exhaled on the run. First rebellion; why must I, content with what I’ve got but devious the plot that sets a mind to gathering the basic fundamentals for the making up of love. The toil and sweat of feel, imagination's cut and carve into the straight and narrow together with the circles, squares, of unbridled need, desire. and the squiggle so of rectangles that mould according to the intrinsic beautiful. Triangles are no miracle nor the holes made bigger by the turn, turn, around but the heart thinks this no matter to the completion of the scheme. It would be like one coming home if not for the curves and bends of “how do I do this?” because nothing ever comes to be without a vision, see? “Of visions”, said the wise man “Take time off from the mind and you will surely find!” Helen / 27 August 2007 [This message has been edited by Honeybunch (08-27-2007 10:23 AM).] |

"The toil and sweat of feel, imagination's cut and carve into the straight and narrow together with the circles, squares, of unbridled need, desire. and the squiggle so of rectangles that mould according to the intrinsic beautiful." Excellent poetry! Love this verse. JL  Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor. |
