When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.

-- Jimi Hendrix

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardners who make our souls blossom.

--Marcel Proust

Taurus - The Enduring One

Charming but aggressive. Hard workers. Warmhearted. Strong, has endurance. Solid beings who are stable and secure in their ways. Not looking for shortcuts. Take pride in their beauty. Patient and reliable. Make great friends and give good advice. Loving and kind. Loves hard - passionate. Express themselves emotionally. Prone to ferocious temper tantrums. Determined. Indulge themselves often. Very generous.

I especially agree with: passionate, emotional and temper! LOL

this was my frame of mind Sat:

Tear drops fall
from my eyes,
like blood dripping
from a wound --
a gash
slashing my soul
assunder,
when the abyss
beckons to you,
you might as well
sucumb,
fall into its embrace,
for resistance is futile
like a rape,
struggle is ineffectual
you might as well
accept it,
play dead
while it's happening,
and pray
you awake.

***

My world
is rendered DARK
and inaccessible
once again,
The abyss has returned
in this
torturous cycle --
even though
you know
it's coming,
never prepares you
for it's inpenetrable
darkness and despair,
Once again
in its deathlike
vicelike embrace --
The only solace
is to try
and drown
the pain,
Numb the grief
and hope
you will emerge
once again
sane.

***

Surrounded
by blackness,
deep, dark, despair --
questioning,
suffering,
anguish and sorrow,
will i make it
till tomorrow?
Alone, struggling,
reaching out
no one's there --
phone line's quiet,
bed's empty,
threshold is bare --
Curled in the fetal
position,
awaiting relief
that is not there.

***

The world
goes on,
no body cares --
suffering
in silence,
holding on,
praying
for relief,
that's nowhere
in sight --
just ride
this demon
and hold on
tight --
Ride it
to the finish
if you dare,
But the race
isn't over,
far from it --
Do you have
the endurance?
Can you handle it?
Can you make it?
One more time?
Helpless victim
to the ravishes
of its depair.
Please release me,
let me go,
let me be,
leave me
alone --
Don't destroy
me,
with your
bleak darkness
and hopeless despair.

This is going to be a busy wkend! There is so much going on: Via Colori, Art Crawl, Renn Fest, etc. Since I'm going to have to work Thanksgiving wkend, and that is the last wkend for Renn Fest, i will probably go there Sat and do a beach run on Sun.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the winter time.
It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

--Crowfoot quote
