Reassion

Reason+Passion For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction. - Khalil Gibran

[literarypiano]

You entered the bedroom and fell to your knees. I wait the rest of my life to hear you say, I made a mistake. Inside my chest, a mangle. Inside yours, a deflating balloon. You took the vacuum cleaner, the ironing board, the dish rack and left me some lint, an iron to scorch shirts, one...

I have found both freedom and safety in my madness; the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.

forgive me if i laugh you are so sure of love you are so young and i too old to learn of love. the rain exploding in the air is love the grass excreting her green wax is love and stones remembering past steps is love, but you. you are too young for love and i too old.

Ballad, Sonia Sanchez

There are worldly people, heavy and wingless. Their sphere is down below. There are among them strong ones: Napoleon. They leave terrible traces among men, and cause an uproar, but it is all on the earth. There are those whose wings grow equably, and who slowly rise and fly: monks. There are light people, winged, who rise easily from among the crowd and again descend : good idealists. There are strong-winged ones who drawn by carnal desires, descend among the crowd and break their wings. Such am I. Then they struggle with broken wings flutter strongly and fall. If my wings heal, I will fly high.

People leave.

“Everyone knows pain.

We are not meant to carry it forever.

We were never meant to hold it so closely.

So, be certain in the belief that what pain belongs to now will belong soon to then"

رسالة من تحت الماء

[reassion]

أرى سلمى بلا ذنبٍ جفتني ... وكانتْ أمس من بعضي ومنّي كأنّي ما لثمتُ لها شفاهاً ... كأنّي ما وصلتُ ولم تَصلني كأني لم أداعبها لعوبا ً ... ولم تهفو إليّ وتَستزدني كأنّ الليل لم يرضى ويروي ... أحاديث الهوى عنها وعني سُليمى ... أه ... أه ... سُليمى من عبدتُك بعدَ ربي سواء ... في القنوط وفي التمنّي غدا لما أموت وأنتِ بعدي ... تطوفين القبور على تأنّي قفي بجوار قبري ثم قولي ... أيا من كنتُ منكَ وكنتَ منِّي خدعتُك في الحياة ولم أبالي ... وخنتُك في الغرامِ ولم تخنّي كذا طبع الملاح فلا ذمام ... فُطرن على الخداعِ فلا تَلُمني

I am yours as the summer air at evening is Possessed by the scent of linden blossoms, As the snowcap gleams with light Lent it by the brimming moon. Without you I'd be an unleafed tree Blasted in a bleakness with no Spring. Your love is the weather of my being. What is an island without the sea?

Yours

Our Story

[reassion]

I was a-ready to die for you, baby Doesn't mean I'm ready to stay What good is livin' a life you've been given If all you do is stand in one place I'm on a river that winds on forever Follow 'til I get where I'm goin' Maybe I'm headin' to die but I'm still gonna try I guess I'm goin' alone

There's one more piece to this I haven't mentioned. I guess I just didn't have the heart. If you stay with her, it not only kills your dreams, it kills hers.

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To know that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.

"Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent? He's weak. He's unsure of himself. He's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race"
