Window to the Heart

Eyes are windows to the heart
Eyes don't lie
The eyes smiles when the heart smiles
when the heart is stormy, the eyes will be full of thunder
when the heart is cloudy, the eyes will rain
only the smiles in the eyes make a bow on the mouth
a smile on the mouth is a smile of a clown
made up to cover the tears of the heart
makes your heart smile
and your eyes will show...

Love and hate

Love is hate and hate is love
it depends if you have inside or outside view
courtside view or distance view
sometimes friendsship is good from a distance
like a forest is better looking from a distance

excitement is not happiness
excitement is not love
happiness is peace
love is happy
thus love is peace
love is sober
love is cooperation
love is truth smiling on perfect mirror

Alone

I am alone but not lonely
for loneliness requires an absent partners
My partner is always with me next to forever
together, we give each other company
talk until late hours, sing songs, and just play games
we hardly argue for we are a perfect couple
familiarity breed love
we pick each other up
we accept each other's flaw
we know each other's secrets
we certainly are there in the darkest moment
we sometimes get bored when there is nothing to play
but we never get tired of each other
I often times ignored her for other partners
but she never leaves me
she is probably not the most excited, the prettiest, the most loving
but she is always there
she is not perfect but perfect for me


Primitive

Rain touch the earth and make the ground fly
the smell of grass and soil awaken in me
raw primitive energy from deep within
the cool breeze calm the mind and sooth the body
with a cup of good song and a hot coffee
I finally get up to walk inside...

Body and Soul

I am the soul inside the body
the soul that has its own heart
different than the other heart
the soul can get injured and its heart can bleed the same
I buy a car for the look, but I drive with the engine
you may like her appearance, but you must fall in love with the soul
for relationship is about capturing and holding her heart in your heart
where two hearts beat as one
like a fetal music for the ears

when my body runs out of blood, it dies
when my soul runs of blood, it transform
bleeding heart is deadly for the body
bleeding heart for the soul is healing
pleasure is good for the body
pain is good for the soul
like our relationship with plants
where they give us breathing air and takes all toxic air
so, the body takes in pleasure and release the pain
where the soul takes in the pain and release the pleasure
Body like to live alone, but soul needs a partner
suffering is getting caught between the two...

body age and gets old, soul mature and gets wise

things have body and soul too
we infer the soul from the appearance of the body
the body may look beautiful, but the soul may not be
this kind of attachment to our own soul and souls of other things create suffering
the body may not look beautiful but the soul may be is
the book is not is cover
this kind of attachment brings paradise
so, ugly soul bring suffering like sick body bring pain
beautiful soul bring paradise like healthy body feels good

body is evil to the soul and the soul food is painful for the body
what is good for the soul may not be good for the body: like delicious food
what is good for the body may not be good for the soul: like exercise

so, the trick is to create a healthy body with beautiful soul
not the other way around like in this upside down world, creating a beautiful body and unhealthy soul



arts and poem

“Poetry can be dangerous, especially beautiful poetry, because it gives the illusion of having had the experience without actually going through it.” rumi

Don't say "I found the truth", say "I found a truth" - KG

Art is dangerous when it is not interested in the truth
when it is used to seduce and for affection
where its purpose has been abused
it feels and sounds and looks good but may not be good

beautiful poems may be just that
a pretty make up covering a face
where the art is the face itself
an artful poem doesn't care about beauty
it is brutally honest, be as appear, appear as be
it's the voice from the deep tunnel
it is irrational and can get musical
it is alive and animated
it is the flame of the fire
it is raw and ugly
for it has no interest of who hear it
it just want to talk
like birds want to sing
or thunder roars...

Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious.”

“Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.” 

“And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth,
"You owe me."

It lights up the sky.”

all else is poor translation.” 


“There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled.
You feel it, don't you?”

“This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.”
