Lovers and Sinners

Sleeping in a nightmare slow

Slipping into anger while getting older

and growing colder

from hour to hour

resisting with despair on getting bored,

no way this human skin can boredom hold

neither can it be defence against

the fellow humans greed

with visible and feasible result

a dubious preference of loneliness and thoughts.

The thoughts creative of some kind and kindness

on how to channel the potential,

to benefit all those who don’t,

the loneliness ignored.

While realizing

one can only help oneself.

Hold on!

Beware, like antimatter many need a stroke of energy

to start the journey, to write their history

so sacrifice succeeds the sacrifice.

surely and confidently internalizing the conclusion,

one can only help when acting.

Directing energy into action, diligently.

Life is management of energy flow,

with non-calculated but expected friction.

Let’s deal with it!

The only way to genuine help

is to serve as a role model.

No teachers, no preachers,

not those who are right or just.

Just transfer of knowledge

in a tender and dignified way.

Coexisting while swallowing down

choices and opinions,

only to spit them out again,

digestible or not.

Prosumer is the word.

Everyone is part of me,

part of YOU,

part of the Universe.

As long as we connect.

Until we don’t connect anymore.

The duty is done

and we have to be done with.

Now transformed

from being to gone

feelings are irrelevant.

Neither fear nor love exists.

There is nothing that drives.

There is nothing to build.

Until someone deliberately

or accidentally

starts the process anew,

by striking the “anti” and “not being”

by releasing some directive energy,

regardless or beyond good or bad.

The cycle is alive and dead

and sometimes both conditions simultaneously.

Love as the result of the awakening.

Love as the desire to let be

whoever one chooses to be

and love as the choice to connect

with the being we desire.

And we connect in many ways

I can not count how many.

It is about love and about numbers

everything.

And although I have to admit

I love the numbers, at the very end

it is only about love

and nothing else.

And love is the desire to let be …

… the choice to connect …

Upon love we build.

Until.

(We invent something that is not necessary

and we call it sin.)

Like a Lover I think of You

Like a Sinner I approach You
