Listen to many, speak to a few.

I dreamt of death And he sat right down Across from me, Upon his visage he wore a frown Du kennst mich nur wie du mich siehst nicht wie ich wirklich bin, Smiling, quoting Kant The human heart learns, Upon the final sting Mostly it is loss Which teaches the worth of things.

I am smiling My eyes proclaim their joy There's a spring in my step All is good without being coy But behind the facade A sadness is growing It's dark claws extended Slowly and penetrating Alas, you will never know the tumultuous within For what you desire Is only to see the grin

Let me fall in love Just for today That I may dream My life away.

This pool of tears, Here for all to see Is all that remains Of your love for me.

My heart is an open wound Seen by no one, Felt only by me. The emptiness--hidden So you shall never see How wide, how deep the wound, it lies Buried from you. And forever more You will never know For the smile hides my pain, But the wound, shall remain.

If you dream Do it softly, For there are giants Who would consume you.

Behold these memories That lay scattered upon the floor So, so many images Of times, of places of emotions gone before. They are mine They are me A shadow of instances Emotions that use to be They demand to be heard My memories grow louder And I fade And my silence grows softer

I will end the day with Shakespeare; "Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."

To speak, And be silent To behold, And be filled To feel, Without being touched To know all this, Is to be in love.

May your days be filled with laughter, And your dreams as peaceful as moonlight.

'Qui tacet consentire videtur', Remember this phrase, when you turn your head, close your mind, and try to forget what is happening around you, that you know are wrong, immoral, hateful, and evil.

If you have the privilege of touching another's heart, you are the most fortunate of us all, for you are loved.

Why do you seek to hurt me? To undue all that was done. The memories of you haunt me, They maul; they tear me in two. Answer Me! For my heart cries out to you But, You are silent, Beneath the stone Forever, With my love for you.

Alone... I... f.. . . a . / __

among shadows darkness closes in despair lengthens despondency grows.

Lying in the darkness Engulfed in shadows at play Time has come to reclaim Summoning, knowing he cannot stay He reaches out but grabs only night Crying out with a moan I am alone His spirit has fled Leaving this coil to fall And the wind whisper gently A great man has left us all

"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people". --Karl Marx--
