Isn't life a marvel;
I mean really,
isn't it a stitch?
Walking in the darkness
on a quiet night as this,
indulging soul and body,
heart for moments feeling young
thoughts wrapped around a witch,
I slide my hand into the earth
and feel it grasping in return;
this little back worlds planet
so ripe and full of life,
chock full
of randy frightened primates
always ready for a fight,
bodies filled
with needy souls trying hard not to evolve.
It is time perhaps to tell the truth,
but then
what would it solve?

Ice~ i absolutely loved this. I was grabbed by the title of your poem, and then your words so dutifully painted pictures for me. I thought this was just tremendous. Thank you for sharing.

In the sight of Love, fear isn't even as great as a single hair: in the law of Love, everything is offered as a sacrifice

But then, it's always valid to ask the questions, as you do.
Leaving me in deep thought, as usual

Icebox,

I love those "randy frightened primates", it's the human condition, and they're the only company we got.

Good on them.
