Mario Benedetti Tctica y estrategia tags: love, need, poetry, strategy 40 likes Like Roman Payne I fancied my luck to be witnessing yet another full moon. True, I d seen hundreds o f full moons in my life, but they were not limitless. When one starts thinking o f the full moon as a common sight that will come again to one s eyes ad-infinitum, the value of life is diminished and life goes by uncherished. This may be my las t moon, I sighed, feeling a sudden sweep of sorrow; and went back to reading more of The Odyssey. ?

You are enigmatic yet so beautiful that I have lost my sense, You are as immaculate as the unadulterated morning dew And your beauty leaves me in a mystified trance. I do not foresee what you and I will be But I promise to be with you till the rocks keep meeting the sea. ?

I was about to deny my poetic w orlds. I was doing violence to my illusions with analysis, science, and learning Henry s language, entering Henry s world. I wanted to destroy by violence and anima lism my tenuous fantasies and illusions and my hypersensitivity. A kind of suici de. The ignominy awakened me. Then June came and answered the cravings of my ima gination and saved me. Or perhaps she killed me, for now I am started on a cours e of madness. ?

Danarto, Berhala: Kumpulan Cerita Pendek tags: humour, poetry, writing 9 likes Like Marge Piercy To Have Without Holding: Learning to love differently is hard, love with the hands wide open, love with the doors banging on their hinges, the cupboard unlocked, the wind roaring and whimpering in the rooms rustling the sheets and snapping the blinds that thwack like rubber bands in an open palm. It hurts to love wide open stretching the muscles that feel as if they are made of wet plaster, then of blunt knives, then of sharp knives. It hurts to thwart the reflexes of grab, of clutch, to love and let go again and again. It pesters to remember the lover who is not in the bed, to hold back what is owed to the work that gutters like a candle in a cave without air, to love consciously, conscientiously, concretely, constructively. I can't do it, you say it's killing me, but you thrive, you glow on the street like a neon raspberry, You float and sail, a helium balloon bright bachelor's buttons blue and bobbing on the cold and hot winds of our breath, as we make and unmake in passionate diastole and systole the rhythm of our unbound bonding, to have and not to hold, to love with minimized malice, hunger and anger moment by moment balanced. ?

You're a cavity in my oasis, You're a porthole in my sea, You're a stretch of the imagination every time you look at me.

That's all There was to it. ? Mark Strand, Blizzard of One tags: blizzard, poem, poetry, snowflakes 6 likes Like The touch of your fingers grazing mine delicate as a single drop of wine in a crystal goblet. Rolling it round, I savor it on my tongue, try to make it last forever. The words I love you form in the air and melt. Your palm against my cheek, light as a snowflake. ? Eve Merriam tags: love, lovers, poetry 6 likes Like George Orwell For if in careless summer days In groves of Ashtaroth we whored, Repentant now, when winds blow cold, We kneel before our rightful lord; The lord of all, the money-god, Who rules us blood and hand and brain, Who gives the roof that stops the wind, And, giving, takes away again;

Who Our Who And

spies with jealous, watchful care, thoughts, our dreams, our secret ways, picks our words and cuts our clothes, maps the pattern of our days;

Who chills our anger, curbs our hope, And buys our lives and pays with toys, Who claims as tribute broken faith, Accepted insults, muted joys; Who binds with chains the poet s wit, The navvy s strength, the soldier s pride, And lays the sleek, estranging shield Between the lover and his bride. ?

I didn't need to do anything. They would do it all . But you had to be careful. Drunk as they were they could immediately detect an y false gesture, any false word. You could never underestimate an audience. They had paid to get in; they had paid for drinks; they intended to get something an d if you didn't give it to them they'd run you right into the ocean. ?
