NEVER SEEK TO TELL THY LOVE
By William Blake
Never seek to tell thy love
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.
I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart,
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears—
Ah, she doth depart.
Soon as she was gone from me
A traveller came by
Silently, invisibly—
O, was no deny.
“According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with 4 arms, 4...”
– Plato’s The Symposium (via emilybecklund)
Beauty of Silence
The beauty of silence is,
When there are no mistakes
The beauty of silence is,
When there is no time to hate
The beauty of silence is,
When there is nothing to explain
The beauty of silence is,
When there is no time to diminish in pain
Lust for every love
Dreams of entire reverie
Beget the pins & pains
Of lies in the stygian of mind
The beauty of silence is, when there’s no...
Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature’s law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping it’s dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.

Where the Sidewalk Ends
Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein
There is a place where the sidewalk ends And before the street begins, And there the grass grows soft and white, And there the sun burns crimson bright, And there the moon-bird rests from his flight To cool in the peppermint wind. Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black And the dark street winds and bends. Past the pits where the asphalt...
My sister invited some of her friends over for Xmas dinner. One of them is covered in tattoos. I just spent an hour talking to him about them. I might have a problem, but I just love good tattoos.
Merry Christmas from me and mine to you and yours. May your day be filled with laughter, love and great memories.
I Cry
Sometimes when I’m alone
I Cry,
Cause I am on my own.
The tears I cry are bitter and warm.
They flow with life but take no form
I Cry because my heart is torn.
I find it difficult to carry on.
If I had an ear to confide in,
I would cry among my treasured friend,
but who do you know that stops that long,
to help another carry on.
The world moves fast and it would rather pass by....
Fire and Ice
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 say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

My daddy is a funny man. My love for sarcasm comes from him. For example:
While sitting out by the water last night my husband said to him “How do we know gators won’t get in here?”
To which my daddy said “The gates locked and they don’t have the key.”
Then today I went with my daddy to drop my sister off at work. We were on our way back when my mom sent a...

If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can...
I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You
I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.
I love you only because it’s you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.
Maybe January light will consume
My heart...
A Dream
In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed-
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted.
Ah! what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past?
That holy dream- that holy dream,
While all the world were chiding,
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam
A lonely spirit guiding.
What though...
Endymion
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep ...

Most fairy-tales turn out to be nightmares.
If I keep telling myself that “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” do you think I will start to believe it?
It’s supposed to be a vacation and yet I’m more stressed out about this weekend than I’ve been in a long time. I keep reminding everyone it’s a vacation to stop worrying about everything. We will figure shit out as we go along. Why do we need...

Pornography is replacing sex education →
paulkell:
A rising number of children are learning about sex from watching pornography because sex education lessons are inadequate, researchers have found.
Um is this news? Because I sure didn’t learn about sex from Sex Ed and considering that class didn’t happen until we were Juniors, I know for a fact it was too late for a number of classmates. (Not me of course. I was a good...
