Neither a song of the heart nor "common sense," neither loving nor unloving. My hand thinking on my wife's flesh is the hand of the first man. Like a root that finds water underground, it says to me: Propelled by intellect, fueled by passion, infused with beautiful poetry! The different metaphors and similies for his hand and speaking of the right of the first man fascinate me and make me think of the desire to come to the experience of intimacy totally fresh, feeling fully and exquisitely.

What an incredible knot of power, of vitality, is created by succumbing, by a passive inversion of the universe. The release of all is the inclusion of everything.

The desire not of a stone, no personification, no willful interference of human consciousness to change what is fact. To fall in line with an inward perfection perceived.

Hymn To Life

Love is like this. Life is like love.

1. The Christmas Capers (Cookie & Johnny Morton Book 3).
2. Conan Doyle: The Man Who Created Sherlock Holmes!
3. Twin Sisters: A historical novel based on Texas history!

Facts best rhapsodized without defilement of need. Glorious in the exactitude of their existence. Nothing more nor less.

HYMN TO LIFE - Timothy Donnelly

It is arbitrary, like the plan Of Washington, D. Avenues and circles in asphalt web and no One gets younger: The sun shines on my hand And the myriad lines that criss-cross tell the story of nearly fifty Years. Once, when I was young, I Awoke at first light and sitting in a rocking chair watched the sun Come up beyond the houses across the street. Another time I stood At the cables of a liner and watched the wake turning and Turning upon itself.

Another time I woke up and in a bottle On a chest of drawers the thoughtful doctor had left my tonsils. The turning of the globe is not so real to us As the seasons turning and the days that rise out of early gray —The world is all cut-outs then—and slip or step steadily down The slopes of our lives where the emotions and needs sprout.

Its bark scales off like that which we forget: Pain, an introduction at a party, what precisely happened umpteen Years or days or hours ago. And that same blue jay returns, or perhaps It is another.

Hymn To Life Poem by Nazim Hikmet - Poem Hunter

All jays are one to me. But not the sun which seems at Each rising new, as though in the night it enacted death and rebirth, As flowers seem to. The cat has a ripped ear. He fights, he fights all The tom cats all the time. There are blood gouts on a velvet seat.
