Life As Written
Life As Written belongs to the following groups:
"Poetry and Beautiful Women" , Core [C.O.R.E] and Vibration in Art and Verse - VAVoom!Life though often written
As if
Between two covers
I sense beyond…
And—so—death not
The brief obituary!
But culmination—
Their process
Chaptered with dates
Through storyline of parting;
Therefore I die daily (the fact):
Live toward that climax
Ardently loving
For the ecstasy though parting—
Oh for her kiss
Sweet death!
Dying for embrace far greater I yield;
Life and dying,
Love and death—somehow
They are strangely
The same coin—
Though often I do not understand;
Yet I sense pockets filled,
The trip—eternity….

Hi Lina; your kind words fill me up. I really do take writing seriously, and cannot separate myself from my words. They are an extension of me…and so forth. When I receive such a positive comment as yours, somehow it gives my life a validly otherwise I would feel lacking. I can’t begin to thank you enough. You are a great writer and a treasured friend. Bless you. xox

Thank you, Kristin; I’m a hopeless romantic, I know it. As much as I try to learn things in life-
-it seems what we are supposed to do—but in final analysis, for me it has always been the joy of living. Perhaps that is what we are really supposed to learn?bill bell 29 days ago
When you ended with pockets filled I felt a pocket of more coins, more lives. I enjoy getting some time to read your poems Joe, it’s always a pick me up, a positive spin :)

Thanks bill; I’m sure that is why I write…by chance on occasion write something good enough to bring a smile to my own face and that of my friends. Lord knows I haven’t too many Prat-falls left in my this time around.

Thought provoking Joe,
I do not fear death based on my non-belief for me it is as natural as living. Very much a part of our experience.

The important thing is that everyone feels comfortable in his or her heart when it comes to these sorts of personal beliefs. If there is something further one needs know, when the time is right one will be taught and feel the process natural and prosperous.
