It seems I'm going all mystical on you these days

"I know that I'm forgiven"... Here's a poem, originally posted at Allpoetry.com:

Do Not Believe

Do not believe
in love.
Live from love.
Gently
feed your fears
into flames of such
compassionate intensity
only tears
of gratitude remain.
I am with you in this.
You are with me in this.
Allow it to be
as it is.

If anyone is seriously tired of spiritual psychobabbel, let me know

I can write about cars and girls...

~ Good G~d, we come to this site to get away from topics of cars and girls! Well, 'cept maybe Tony

[oh, Hi Tony!

].

As always, Taigaku, you find your way to the essence and make it real. Simply, truly beautiful and true.

All respect,
Elizabeth

Thank you, Elizabeth

Well, cars and girls was not all that seriously intended.. The two words just came to me, a semi-quote from the band Prefab Sprout, who have a song entitled "Some things hurt more than cars and girls"...

But, you know, I kind of feel I've left outer, empirical reality all together in my writing..

Well, inner reality is not so bad either...

I knew you were teasing, Taigaku [that they were merely symbols] ~ however, I took advantage of the moment to, in turn, tease Tony. I've never heard of Prefab Sprout, so definitely wouldn't have made that connection

~ however, still managed to get it on 'me' very own

. Your inner-reality writings are carrying on in their tradition of beauty

. 'Tis a good thing ~ or ~ It's all good.

Taigaku- I enjoy your relaxed style of writing. It is soothing and warm.

Thank you very much, Epurcelly!

That's a comment I truly appreciate getting.

"Soothing and warm" ~ wonderful and fitting descriptive, Epurcelly.

And then I called the name wrong, anyway.....I meant Tim, not Tony! [Sorry Tim

, sorry Tony

].

We are glad to get your gentle work here, keep it coming!!!

Hi Epurcelly ~

I loved your description of Taigaku's writing, "relaxed"..."soothing and warm". I had told him his style was 'calm' and 'calming'.
It does have an amazing quality, doesn't it.

Taigaku ~

"Write about cars and girls"? Oh yeah!

One should not make idle threats
