Life is about hunger, feeding on a collective that abounds; and balances of give and take.
Where we dream about tearing open a chest and eviscerating the life therein and we scheme about killing to fuel our strife for our need and want of sin.
Where does furtherance draw it's line, the balancing of forces; yin and yang?
Tumbling down a spiral throughout time; a double helix of relationships; of finding still-points for the discovery of tactics, the creativity of tools, the hopefulness of sorrows, and the depravity of fools.
Over and over, again and again... achieving balances; finding lines creating morality and ethics just to find that the thing we think is evil oft' wins many lives echoed by our crimes.
A life of struggle, a life of pines; where a win, wins a life of wanting as thought slowly refines the balances of forces and the drawing of lines

Tormented Beauty By Me November 25, 2010 One purple blossom
alone on a cliff, between angry gray sky and dark, tormented sea, tempting the cruelty of fate to be or to not be. One purple blossom
shaken by the wind, atop a whithered vine. Grown hard,
between rounded rocks, on seashells and sand. The rain falls;
a splash of crystal drops to bejewel tormented beauty.

The Secret of Fire By Me What is thought? Is it the ability to choose: to want... to deny? Is it the urge to live: an insatiable need to be, the knowing of life and death? Is it wanting love: is it the dreamer nurturing all things, or is it merely tears in the rain? I see in my dreams
a glowing amber light. Apes have stumbled on a secret; they have harnessed a flame. I watch from the distance:
I am a lonely howl in the dark, I am violence... I am passion; Hunger, I am the devil, I'm a secret, I am a phantom in the trees. Nature's silver scalpel. Apes don't eat the bones:
I am their custodian their watcher. I enter their dreams like shadows; a glint of golden eye and ivory fang. Dreamers shape me into nightmares and holy visions. Kindness,
is this thought? Upon dim cave-fronts
you watched me come closer to the light. You shared your bones and then we lay by the flame together: soon we hunted and tore meat together. Two became like one and we became friends. Alas, you would betray me. Anger... is this thought?
Sorrow, memories, regret... are these?

The Just Reward by Ebon lupus November 21, 2010
Silence is where our thoughts tumble to;
it's an abyss of doubt and scorn; tumbled through another day and the deliverance of sleep 'til all's that's left is left unborn. while lifting the veil of a thousand years,
that sleep of Nevermore! I'm peering at it all, once again through the worlds of forevermore. Once I knew, a most righteous king;
a prophet of the lord I saw his failure of our peace to bring; to our world... and our just reward. Know that Nature builds the props;
designs the course and sets the rules; We are her master's of many crops dancing sages, and dancing fools.

Torch Light by Me November 19, 2010 There are dark pathways we dare not take others down into shadows that lie beyond the sun where fear is our filter for the light. There are dreams that cannot be drempt There are dreamers who cannot teach There are islands of thought in minds transcendental of this single moment of this happening. Dark pathways leading through grim forests of the mind where chasing the trolls by torch light kept the bridges safe... until no trolls were seen again for there were no trolls for the light had cast them out!

One Day For Me by Me November, 19, 2010 I took one day for me; just one day from the frenzied, blur, and confusing daze that fills most my time.
I took this time to sit and think about the things I care about and about the people I love; maybe not as lovers, but, always as best friends. I took one day for me; I took this time to sit and think, a few seconds ticking by, reflecting the world out there around me; at how twisted and misshapened it is with wars for seeming important things cannot there be some other way? I took one day for me; I took this time to sit and think, a few seconds ticking by, reflecting. I thought about all the fear; I thought about the hope; I thought about the losses; and the gains I thought about the tears then I thought on the things I care about. I took one day for me; I took this time to sit and think, a few seconds ticking by, reflecting; I thought about the fear; I thought about pain and joy; about how the sun always rises; I thought about you... all of you; I thought about dreams... and ghosts... and then I watched the Earth lighted by the Moon. I took one day for me; I took this time to sit and think, a few seconds ticking by, reflecting; I thought about all the fear; I thought about pain and joy; and then I fell into obvivion, until morning brought another day.

What We Fear By Me November 12, 2010
What do we fear? Is it the darkness all around? Is it why predators, having eyes of golden flame, astound, and with physiques inherently riddled with seductive clues come 'round?
The question, thus asked, by mere asking, ken quickening, compound?
It's all in the brain where sin is bound. In thoughts whose judgment oft' resound; be they of good or evil writ by men or likewise shameless devils.
