strat, I'm really glad you got that...
It's the key to happiness I think.  Too many men don't figure it out. ;)  Too many people really, it's not limited to men. :)

You know, ten or fifteen years ago,
the following line would have given me a sardonic chuckle:

"words can’t hide

what blatant actions

scream silent

a man’s character

is his destiny"


Now I know that to be a simple, universal, powerful fact.

Very nice work here, Temple!

It's not negative at all.  It's all good, in fact....but that's as much as I'll interpret here.  I love you, too.    y-o-u  ... ;)

Well, I'm not sure how you would get fatalistic from this....I don't believe things are set in stone because we have free will and can fuck them up, but I think things happen for a reason.  I think we get signals, signs from the universe that guide us to where we want, what we want to be, what we need, what we should be doing, but we don't always listen.

T,
Interesting, no doubt. I hear positive and negative in this one. Hope it's more positive than what I'm getting from it.  Luv ewe!

I also liked the line from Heraclitus. Nice poem (big surprise ;P).

So... are you a fatalist then?

Sorry, thank you.  I'm glad you liked it. :)

Ah, Frankenkitty, if only I could take credit for that line.
It was said by a Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, first.  Fun....oh yeah.  I better get busy.  I forgot. ;)

Hi Passionflower...
Yeah, I just realized a lot of stuff.  I think I'll have a few bad days or moments, but my writing overall is reflecting some things it just took me a while to absorb.

Hey Temple
How's it been going...your poetry is taking on a healthier feel.
