Doug
I don't think you are worthy of me?
you don't hear me play for you
in my room with the two candles burning
for the dearly departed.
Instead you run away
and hide
from my stare
and it's agonized desire.
If you had been worthy of me
you would stare right back,
you would dare to look right on through me,
these two eyes,
to drink in all of my bittersweet intensity.

beautiful… couldn't find the Neil Young song I wanted so this will have to do,
Neil Young - Tell Me Why (1970)
Oh, wow, what have you captured this time, Doug? Mmm, I see it, I see it, a dazzling butterfly who only wants to flit about instead of sitting still and staring right back at our Doug.
Lol, good one, the end part made me smile.
Thank you Nicole and I love that song!
What I catch all the time Amy, nothing at all. You have the scent of a different poem on you Amy. Were you wearing black see-through lace the other night? It was a little dark. :-)
TY Amy you know how much I love your smile!
Doug, I so enjoy your style!..beautiful!
well, sincerely, don't you think an intelligent person would think twice? (smile!)…That is why it is a blessing to love a fool-hearted person! The wise will think twice, then it is all over! Maybe they take it to serious - forget that we are only playing out the eccentric life so it doesn't get lost! Long have forgotten it is the foundation of life!
I feel I am some like you - poor lovers, saying to them in a glance - put everything at risk, gamble your life! Tomorrow is not certain! Why be concerned! If you want the peak, there will be danger (smile!)…if you want the peak you will get lost! If you want the peak, you will have to risk falling, slipping down, losing all dignity.
Now, what intelligent person wants this?…(big smile!)
YOU are a joy to me, Doug!
with love!!! and silence!
Cheyenne
Thank you Cheyenne!
Whew, well I'm not sure I would win a staring contest with you! Actually would it matter? Smiles!
I was the boy playing with matches in the field by Brookside pool and I had no idea how fast dry straw burns. When I swatted at it with my shirt the hot ashes spread and started new fires. When I knew I was sunk and ran away and hid. Later that day the fire chief came to my house, BUSTED!!
Doug the pyromaniac!
THE SHIP SUNK IN LOVE
Should Love's heart rejoice unless I burn?
For my heart is Love's dwelling.
If You will burn Your house, burn it, Love!
Who will say, 'It's not allowed'?
Burn this house thoroughly!
The lover's house improves with fire.
From now on I will make burning my aim,
From now on I will make burning my aim,
for I am like the candle: burning only makes me brighter.
Abandon sleep tonight; traverse fro one night
the region of the sleepless.
Look upon these lovers who have become distraught
and like moths have died in union with the One Beloved.
Look upon this ship of God's creatures
and see how it is sunk in Love.
Rumi
Oh, Doug! I am not so hard to beat in a staring contest! I have them with my children often - I always lose! (smile!!)…
…OH, you Jailbird!

How beautiful! Rumi!….I smile to you. Yes…
thank you!
Cheyenne
You're welcome!
I was thinking when I wrote the poem, about a ceremony described in a Merilyn Tunneshende book that begins with a kind of pranayama she calls breathing fire. You stand facing someone and you gaze into their eyes, extend you right hand to invite them energetically to merge with you. Well it's supposed to be very serious and often results in tears and you are instructed not to break down into sobbing.
Of course me, I'd probably crack a smile and then it would be all over! The laughter would just roar out of me!
Wow…I can imagine with the right person…that would be ( h o t )!
Sounds wonderful!!!!!!….
YOU!….you would laugh! Oh, Doug! You are fun!!!!!
It's true I am not worthy
But you don't hear me pray for us both
by the fading light, carefully balanced, of this candle burning from both ends,
For the fact that we all will die.
There are places I can't run away from
and sometimes I am frightened
By the depth I see in your eyes.
Forgive my foolish hotheadedness
drunk already at the smallest sip.
Have patience with the slow Chinese burn
as moderation's grip slips;
For when I look deep into your eyes,
What I fear most
Is myself.
Well yes totally hot with the right intention, the intention to just allow what will happen then (Might need a breath by the open window). And yes I laugh often, but never in the eyes that say “I love you”. Those three words drift off into the universe and are always answered “OMG I love you too!” TY Cheyenne big Hugs all my love!
Hi Shanti Oh thank you for joining the club of the not worthy and your words are so worthy! Look into my eyes darling and see what I hold for you.
I hold you always.
Dougie…I've done a similar dynamic working with a loved one with chakras…breathing…connecting from afar, not touching…eyes meeting, dancing, very intense…opening….then mounds of laughter…
its getting hot in here, you all are burning down the house
Hi Kimster! Yes! and with eyes closed and with the right intention to connect, the hara opens and a rush of energy, like a river flows and a merging happens and somehow you just know the other in a very deep way. You don't even need to be in the same physical location, in fact it might be safer !
Hey Spritely! May all of our lifes be an unforgettable fire, a comet tail flaming through the night sky into oblivion/bliss and beyond!

My eyes are drying out from staring at you so long… would you look down already?! {{ggl}}
Lol! Hey no fair Pearly! Tickling is not allowed! Smiles
