| Lives in Short Horizons |
| I want to spend time With you just because It's enjoyable... I want To be with you for the Short Horizon of our Lives... not the make Believe of the Long I enjoy your Humor Your acceptance of Irony in your world In everyone's world I enjoy your mind Your visions of life What life Could be... Ought To Be It's priorities... just Simple 'Aliveness'... A fire for living To experience ALL of your life Every day I enjoy the beauty Of your body... It's hearty and lusty Welcomes to mine I want to experience ALL In your mind... your body Your heart... repeating The pleasant again and Again... discarding the Unpleasant as unworthy Of your short time here What an idea... it's Such a simple vision Such a rich vision... I want to share that Vision with you... To mingle our minds To mingle our bodies I want to help sear Your soul with the Memories of our living I would say "I love you " But I won't Somehow that ancient Meaning and beautiful Word has become Corrupted... become A euphemism for "I own you" For a possession What a sad thought What a silly thought What a dysfunctional Insane vision of loving And if you said you "Loved me" in return Then you would Expect to own me... To have exclusive Rights to my mind My body... my heart Perhaps even my soul And as in days of old You would become My Master... my Owner I would be your Slave And visa versa If I owned you then you Would expect to do my Bidding... comply with My mind... not because You believed my thoughts But because you felt You had to comply |
| But I will say I have a Deep care and concern A deep affection for you For your happiness For your excitement For your fulfillment I want to help flame Your zest for life... not Slowly dim it as my Slave... and visa versa I want to spend time With you just because It's enjoyable... Not because I have to Life is real... not a charade We are real... living today Let us be realists... let us Be honest with ourselves With each other... why would We do otherwise to one For whom we had affection I have only one mind One body... one heart They can be but narrow Visions of life... of living Why would I desire to Restrain your visions Your experiences And visa versa It would be such a Selfishness... such A false and impossible Security... the wish of A Master to a Slave Not the wish of one Who had a genuine care And concern for another I want you to savor and Experience as many Visions and vision holders As you would Find pleasant Find exciting Find enjoyable Find fulfilling Find satisfying Find loving I want you to laugh With others... Not just me... Your enriched laughter Will enhance mine I want you to enjoy Sensuality with others Not just me... Your enlivened nerve Endings will ignite mine Even further than now I want you to think With others... Learn with others Not just me... Your new wisdom Will strengthen mine These diversification's of Experiences and persons Will renew you... re-create You in small ways... Perhaps some larger ways Then in our time together There will be no end to the Joy of learning you again And again... excitement Will replace the calm and Staid... the daily dying Of so many who once Dreamed of the Long Horizon... and now find It dissipating... |
| For many whose focus is On the "I " ... themselves And not the "You "... Thier silly egos and images They know to be false... They would likely find Such thoughts and desires Confusing... Bizarre Despairingly disorienting At odds with their mind And previous training And they would also not Likely permit themselves To understand... that When you are excited Happy... fulfilled Then you excite me You make me happy It's the natural state Of all Independents ... Not Slaves I want to spend time With you just because It's enjoyable... I want to live and feel and Enjoy our experiences in Today's time... The Short Horizon Not the hazy... nebulous Long Horizon of myths And wishful thinking Come join me... my mind My heart... my body I want to join yours Let us now make a vow To togetherness but just For the Short Horizon ... Say twelve moons... We can always make Another vow and another And I hope mutually... We elect to do so One Short Horizon At a time Let us now make a vow That on those days When we might wake Together... we will Pursue the next few Hours of our lives With the zest of those Who know that time Together may not be Eternal... that our lives Are not eternal but short Instead of vague hazy Prayers for a Long Horizon Let us make realistic plans And representations... to Take an oath to Aliveness During our Short Horizon Let us not have visions Of goals of growing old Together although perhaps Ultimately we may choose To do so... but at just one Short Horizon at a time I want to spend time With you just because It's enjoyable… ________ Does your Mind and Heart Permit you to even think about living likt this? What an interesting question... 'Why'... (or 'Why Not') |
