somewhere always a statement, skin concentrated
system inverted
attentive to the phases of love, this text
under the eye: June aroused by audacity
precise lips or this allurement of the clitoris
its unrecorded thought giving the body back intelligence
because each shiver aims at emergence
June the fever the end of couples
their prolongation like the most unexpected of
silences: lesbian lovhers

the texture of identities


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

in reality, there is no fiction

    Love is such a responsibility
    To be tender and true

    Approaching from correct intention
    To be kind rather than right

    Righteous without malice

    To aim higher than libdo

    Stay the course
    Yet always be
    Evolving

    Hedonistic confessions

    SOMEWHERE I HAVE NEVER TRAVELLED, GLADLY BEYOND
    de E. E. Cummings (1894-1962)

    somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
    any experience, your eyes have their silence:
    in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
    or which i cannot touch because they are too near

    your slightest look will easily unclose me
    though i have closed myself as fingers,
    you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
    (touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose

    or if your wish be to close me, i and
    my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
    as when the heart of this flower imagines
    the snow carefully everywhere descending;

    nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
    the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
    compels me with the color of its countries,
    rendering death and forever with each breathing

    (i do not know what it is about you that closes
    and opens; only something in me understands
    the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
    nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

    POETRY - Pablo Neruda
    And it was at that age...Poetry arrived
    in search of me. I don't know, I don't know where
    it came from, from winter or a river.
    I don't know how or when,
    no, they were not voices, they were not
    words, nor silence,
    but from a street I was summoned,
    from the branches of night,
    abruptly from the others,
    among violent fires
    or returning alone,
    there I was without a face
    and it touched me.

    I did not know what to say, my mouth
    had no way
    with names
    my eyes were blind,
    and something started in my soul,
    fever or forgotten wings,
    and I made my own way,
    deciphering
    that fire
    and I wrote the first faint line,
    faint, without substance, pure
    nonsense,
    pure wisdom
    of someone who knows nothing,
    and suddenly I saw
    the heavens
    unfastened
    and open,
    planets,
    palpitating planations,
    shadow perforated,
    riddled
    with arrows, fire and flowers,
    the winding night, the universe.

    And I, infinitesmal being,
    drunk with the great starry
    void,
    likeness, image of
    mystery,
    I felt myself a pure part
    of the abyss,
    I wheeled with the stars,
    my heart broke free on the open sky.

    a dear friend, who died wrote this:

    My Friends

    learn from my experience
    that above all love life

    promise me that you will go on
    and no matter what kind of materialistic or career
    or relationship hassles confront you,
    you will get up in the morning
    look at the beauty and light
    and thank God for it

    and with just that faith
    you can go forward with gratitude rather than despair
    and celebrate your life

    -hope my experience and your observation of it
    will be enough to encourage you to
    never abandon joy for despair

    William Carl Dorin -2001
