FFT - love songs II

Forever

Forever is a holy word
I've stolen from God's vocabulary
that I dare to utter when speaking of my love for you.

From the ten thousand names of God
with lips trembling in fear,
I have chosen Forever
to sing of my love for you.

Idolatry - to make human love divine
and put it on par with God
no, not idolatry, but identity
for love and God are one
when love longs to be Forever.

O You who never created love,
but are Love and Love-Forever,
gift me with your sacred heart
to love You and my beloved,
Forever, Forever.

-Psalms for Zero Gravity

FFT - love songs I

This is just a series of poems that a friend of mine had shared with me, many years ago. They're so beautiful, but, wanting to save a bit of space, I'm going to post them here:

Love Sonnet II

Love, what a long way to arrive at a kiss,
What loneliness-in-motion, toward your company!
Rolling with the rain we follow the tracks alone.
In Taltal there is neither daybreak nor spring.

But you and I, love, we are together
From our clothes down to our roots:
Together in the autumn, in water, in hips, until
We can be alone together - only you, only me.

To think of the effort, that the current carried
So many stones, the delta of Boroa water;
To think that you and I, divided by trains and nations,

We had only to love one another:
With all the confusions, the men and the women,
The earth that makes carnations rise, and makes them bloom!

- Pablo Neruda

Goodness gracious!

I am terribly bad at keeping up with this blog. I think I've mentioned this before, with the rise of Facebook, that it makes it a bit harder to write something slightly more substantial than a status update. In many ways, it's easier to just post a sentence of what one is thinking about and getting immediate feedback, rather than this format, where it goes off into the ether, and I have no idea where it goes, or who sees.
At any rate, nothing really much to say since. So that is my non-status update :) .
