Sameness dulls the mind
And love shakes the heart
So do not be too cautious
This life is enough to sip
Do not hurry, but
Carry lovely garlands in your hair
And smile to break up the sameness
Burn with courage, to
Shatter the dullness
Remembering those things
We did in our youth….
Be young and stay beautiful
Give your heart to the world
Or live a miserable existence
We’re all inches from dying
Our genes are mutating at every instance
Instead of playing roles, play music
The music of risk and ventures
The art of losing and winning
In a speed of learning and changing
Life is too short to forget
What longing means, what reddening brows
What breasts that shoot like cupid
Whose heart is apple-plucked
Too soon must drop to the ground
But fruit is meant to be eaten and bountiful
Love is meant to be poignant and profound
Who takes joy in the wounds and errors
Finds life a garden of many delights
There is not enough courage to go around
To find a life worth the exercise of hunts
And strong muses to fill your life
With resonance, spirits, colors
How delicate and wanton the Graces
How easily we lose obedience to desire
As if a safe secure life was the goal.
