'til soon is now...


Au revoir ....
                 'til soon is now...
                 'till hope is certainty...
                 'till dreams are memories...

Love and Narcissism?

Wonders...

If I say, I love who I think you are,
does that make me narcissistic?

Not all the Bold are Fortunate (2013 re-write)

Sometimes one has to ask...

“What is the difference between blind courage and oblivious self-sabotaging stupidity?”

Blindly running into the fray mind akimbo and intentions unformed; expecting a reluctant God or the whims of stars to cast favorable winds.... 

Do we dare to “be brave” or is bravado merely the blunt side of arrogance, shielding one from knowledge of its own inevitable demise?

Do we dare “self-actualization” and does mere “belief” offer protection and assurances of success?

Is courage found in ignorance of consequence and responsibility - or is it proof of madness?

It is known “Fate” favors both the bold and the mad… begging the question –
What tips the balance for those whose bold steps forward lead to oblivion, martyrdom and grief





Thoughts that keep me up... 

Sometimes I have to ask myself...

What is the difference between blind courage and oblivious self-sabotaging stupidity?

Blindly running into the fray mind akimbo and intentions determined…
Expecting a reluctant God or the whims of fate to be favorable…
Do we dare to be brave or is bravado merely a blunt tool,
shielding one from knowledge of its own demise?

Are we to be mere victims of the fates
our pain in harmonic symphony with their entertainment and musings…
Or do we dare optimism… self-actualization?

Are hope, faith and optimism the paths to freedom of fear?
Does mere belief offer protection….
Or… like sheep moving senselessly thru the void… 
is bliss found in ignorance

Exclusive of desire, want, need, intent or purpose?
