I WILL be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.

I met last night in Stealth with wisdom's elder,
And asked him to divulge in full life secrets,
This he whispered softly, softly in my ear,
They can't be told, they must be seen, so hush.

Xanadu Kubla Khan
A few lines from a poem
by Samuel Taylor Coleridge ~
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.Apr 26, 2011 11:01 pm

When it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was a bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

It was a miracle of rare device;
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice.Apr 27, 2011 4:04 pm

Don't stop to speak or look around
Your gloves and fan are on the ground
We're getting out of town
We're going on the run
And you're the one I want to come

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

....Smashed to the heart
Under the ribs
With a terrible love.
Joy always,
Joy everywhere~
Let joy kill you!
Keep away from the little deaths.
