    A first draft!


    The wind will ride
    His horses tonight,
    Saddles inlaid with stars
    Bridles bolted with amethyst,
    Ride the blue-black darkness
    Ride the gold-grey shadows,
    And wait for lovers
    To mount his diamond stirrups
    And ride with him.
    It's already late-
    But if we wait,
    Someone will slip
    Silver reins into our hands
    And cup our fingers
    On an onyx pommel.

    Dear kidder, you know what bugs me most? Things just can't be things. Skies...skies, trees...trees, bugs...bugs, and- horses... horses. They always have to be something else. Stop the nonsense now! Keep it plain and simple. Like yourself. Yours, hiphop gyrl

    I think its beautiful, the imagery was very very smooth and nice. It did lack that one final killer punch, the image that would give me goose bumps.

    Saffron, if you were only a lot younger I'd have a very hard time not falling in love with you. Your work may bewilder me sometimes but there is an aching vulnerability in what and how you write that I find enormously appealling. Enjoy your day!

    Why is it that we always fall in love?
    For once I would like to rise in love,
    to grow in stature and strength
    to be a pillar of beauty and truth
    to be the embodiment of beauty itself
    to be the fulness of all that I am.

    Bhaskar, good points! Why shouldn't we 'rise' to love? In a world desperately in need of things that bring people closer together, it's worth a try!

    Age does not matter sometimes,
    there is 12 years difference between some of my cousins + their loves E.G 35 + 23 ( if my maths is right lol. Love can not be stopped. it is of a spiritual heart + nature :) it blooms all the time + we never know when it strikes :) + also I have 1 other cousin 33 going out with a 19 year old. ( in England, so the US is not a jot of a problem ). But it strikes at anytime with anyone....

    Love can not be stopped , be it innocent brotherly or sisterly love or romantic type :) . When U find the right one, U will always know if you open yourself to your spiritual being + heart as a whole :)

    We are a slave to our hearts that can never be stopped or we fade away + none existance is bound.

    We don't have to be a slave to anything. Love that enslaves is not love at all.

    My friend Bhaskar, :) I let my heart rule my very being itself :) I concentrate on other chakras etc, But my heart rules me + I surround myself with a spiritual bubble of love + it rules my life + peace be with you my bro :) . + remember, Like attracts Like + love will be truly found :).

    Beloved one,
    I never said it is wrong to love. Love is our very nature, we are love itself. However if we are to limit this to certain individuals and objects, it creates attachment. This attachment leads to desires and expectations and then we are bound, it is this bondage that is the cause of all sorrow.

    You are totally right there Bhaskar... we sometimes bond our selves too close to certain things + we do bacome a slave unto it or that person or whatever / whoever it is. It is ok to love + be bonded to someone + totally absorb yourself into them as a whole. But I know a lot of hurt can come when an ending happens. Mind you, we are here to learn emotional lessons, but to be truthful, some do hurt so very much but I do have hopes that in peoples lives that the good emotions outweigh the bad. We can try our best + always hope.

    Suffering is a lesson. Nobody ever learnt from happiness. It is only through hardship and difficulty that we learn and grow, when suffering ends, the need for knowledge and learning ends, growth has reached it's pinnacle. Then all that remains is joy, pervading everything.

    Hmmm, we suffer to learn. We suffer to free joy. We suffer to grow. Then let us make others suffer. They'll thank us in the end!

    2 sides of a double edged sword do I see spiritually b4 me,
    People who seem to have done bad to me + people whom have done good,
    but through the flames of some others random acts of unkindlyness, I have seen a light + appreciate good times.

    I know now + have let my KArma come to a halt, If I do wrong then it does come back 3 fold within usually 7 days as I did test it. + just by the word of mouth. Some people it takes 7 years + they do not know why or from when their rebound took place.

    All peoples Karma is a payback as well as learning zone + times, I know I am in ballance unless I have some of past life + agreed times to come, but it is true I am sad to say, that with some, suffering is done + only then do they appreciate the good times. I am on the Sword blade of light + not of night. I try to do good or not anything at all, ripples in the Karmic pond I do not want anymore or to be enslaved to another in another life through seemingly wrong doings. So I sit still for years as I have done until the balance seems to be acheaved. But I am a slave to my heart + of love + concern for others. My heart is damaged many times as tears sometimes fall from my eyes but let me not fall or agree to be part of the seemingly harming dark side of the blade.

    + Bhaskar my friend :) . I am 35 + have learned much thus approx 7 years of stillness, but I have learned things through happiness + do have fond memories thankfully :). + to all, let your Karma / previous spiritual agreements catch up with you b4 doing anything else as you never know what may come back be it seemingly good or bad. Try a positive way of testing as I have tried both. Do a VERY kind deed + see when it returns :) Or say to an innocent kid, ' what a crap hairdo ' + see when someone insults you next :) . Easy tests, + very accurate lol.

    You cannot rid yourself karma by doing nothing, for that in itself karma. Thinking is also karma. Subtler, but it earns results anyway. The only way to be free of karma is to be free of the sense of doership and ego, to transcend it, by realising one's identity with the conciousness that illumines and transcends the world.

    hi there

    very true both and all

    love rules when true
    slavery to anything is wrong, bhasker................yet
    to love to live to hold life almost has its
    bounds,its chains within our being
    to live with love in life to hold a
    close one near or far
    to hold the human life the world
    is to love...............

    and to rise to all to be free
    to chain ourselves sometimes
    not knowing how willing the human heart may feel..
    even be.



    will brighten every step we tread
    as we learn to forget....and learn again...again

    thank you love n peace from saff

    hi rob,,,,your leo heart will burn stronge always
    believe in your love...for life......


    be whole to shine and build your world kidder many paths you
    have to tread yet,like myself and others
    be whole .................
