Perhaps

 ...
Perhaps I'm trying just too hard,
To understand it all,
For can we ever truly know
Just what we have in store?

Beauty

 

                                                 Beauty -- be not caused -- It Is --
                                                 Chase it, and it ceases --
                                                 Chase it not, and it abides --

                                                                     by Emily Dickinson

from my visit to University of Alberta Hospital on Jan 25th, 2011

Very busy, interesting, full of hope but sad place.

Health ...
"I never knew till now
How precious, till I lost thee. Now I see
The beauty whole, because I yearn for thee ...."

English translation by Kenneth R. Mackenzie

of Pan Tadeusz by The Polish Cultural Foundation, London, 1986.

...last melon...

 

its not is it...the last melon...

someday i suppose yes

a yellow fruit halved on a board
beneath the board a blue cloth

an oval of seeds in each half
of the fruit

a knife juice dried on metal
wood

overlapping cuts in the board
yellow flesh seeds drying

fibres

this fruit cut 2 days ago
none has touched

curtains open closed
day has lightened

night has dust has skin has

its not is it the last melon

Morning has broken ...

And with every gentle woman a gentle dog you'll find.

Looking for the Exit

 Exit

 

For what we owe to other days,
Before we poisoned him with praise,
May we who shrank to find him weak
Remember that he cannot speak.

  

For envy that we may recall,
And for our faith before the fall,
May we who are alive be slow
To tell what we shall never know.

  

For penance he would not confess,
And for the fateful emptiness
Of early triumph undermined,
May we now venture to be kind. 

by Edwin Arlington Robinson

Piano

What is a piano, without the player.
It's like a soul, without a desire.

A Gloomy Day

      ...

Ah, 'tis a dreary day,
    Oh, 'tis a dolesome view;
And my sad soul is chilled,
    And cheerless through and through.

Get Drunk

Always be drunk.
That's it!
The great imperative!
In order not to feel
Time's horrid fardel
bruise your shoulders,
grinding you into the earth,
Get drunk and stay that way.
On what?
On wine, poetry, virtue, whatever.
But get drunk.

by Charles Baudelaire

Memories of School Days

Excuse Me Miss

Sam asked a question of his teacher
He asked it of the stern Miss Meacher
You wouldn’t punish me, would you?
For something that I did not do
Of course not boy, answered Miss
Spitting the reply out with a hiss
That’s a relief he began to explain
As I didn't do my homework again.

by Paul Curtis

JUST MY DOG

 



He is my other eyes that can see above
the clouds; my other ears that hear above
the winds. He is the part of me that can

reach out into the sea.

A Tree

A Tree

The world a blur to most

Most see a tree as a tree

The day you actually see

When the world is not the same world

Snowflake

A small puff of vapor,
Breathed birth from the ebony sky,
With milky crystal arms and legs,
That float, flutter and fly; fly!

Daily dose of happiness.

I just got home and it is still 14th to me :)





A medication poem

Woke this morning, face was red
Guess it's time to take my Pred.
Must eat first, I'll eat an egg,
Hope Neurontin helps my leg.
Before I eat, I need to take

What you cannot constant hope
Must be taken as you may.

Light

* Light *
I look behind and after
And find that all is right,
In my deepest sorrows
There is a soul of light.

Cantaloupe

I put a piece of cantaloupe
Underneath the microscope.
I saw a million strange things sleepin’,
I saw a zillion weird things creepin’

Winter Time

The Begining

My Iphone is with me all the time and it became part of my extra perception organ - I call it my 3-rd eye. I now use my Iphone camera more often than any other camera I have. I decided to share here with you some of the pictures from it on daily basis. It will be my Iphone photo a day 2011 project starting today the 8th of January 2011. I use mostly two photo applications on my Iphone; Gorillacam and Hipstamatic, I enjoy especially Hipstamatic and the majority of the pictures presented here will be taken using this application. Some days, it may be just a picture some other days a picture with a comment or a link. I hope you will enjoy it.
