I never know what clothes to wear
I wish I could socialise bare
A capito ad calcem
I know not to waltz in.
So shall we stay in and play fair?
“A capito ad calcem” means ” from head to heel”.
So you can see capital punishment probably meant beheading!
So beautiful
Ante mortem let us trust
For in the grave we turn to dust
Yet though in life the poor are cursed
Treatment post mortem is just.
The worms and beetles care no more
For the rich than for the poor.
They are happy to devour
Bankers,despots,every hour.
Ante mortem, greed does win
Houses built of gold and sin
But God,who lives in each within,
Cares no more for gold thann tin
As post mortem, all are judged
By the book where sins are lodged
why don’t the rich and famous budge?
Their taxation’s boldly grudged
Give away your weighty goods
Live like daisies by the woods..
Fear not hurricane nor floods
Daises grow even in mud.
More dependent on all power
We trust in madmen’s city towers.
Yet One told us to live like flowers…
And enjoy life for an hour.
Perception is no privilege.
We each have the wits to judge.
See and note where you have smudged
What your creation would allege.
Post and ante, even now
The currents of our hearts allow…
The inner sea which has its flow
To take us where we need to go
Belief in the Lord has decreased
But in Satan belief has not ceased
Advocatas diobili
What an anomaly!
There are many and this is the least
“
“Advocatus diaboli” is the devil’s advocate”,usually used metaphorically I think

Not content with passing out at her wedding and fainting on the honeymoon Rose Lee of Houndsden has become unconscious of her duties as a English woman and forgotten to wear a woollen jumper in her underheated home.As a result she is now in an inverted coma at the totally defunct Highlands Hospital where she was said to be “texting”
A woman in Blingford refused to wash up and has been given a penalty point by the judge in nearby Wertex.Her husband has got a chance of winning if he gets his foot out of the door and his key out of the lock.
A man of 90 in Blewcastle on Line won 19 million pounds in the lottery and is getting married on Saturday,Sunday and Monday.
They will honeymoon in Lands End Grotto before going home to give birth to half triplets.His only comment is,Beware of the Gods and the Dogs.He breeds those as well
Postmodernism’s the fashion ne’er manque.
We must study Foucault and his scribes.
Get reason trapped and do not court delay.
You need to find your intellectual tribe.
Where is the goose which laid the golden egg..
Invented meta-talk and fairy tales?
Which narrative is balanced on a peg?
Which philosopher gets re-homed by a whale?
Where is the whole truth and the nothing but?
Whose ‘ the eye which sees reality?
Who ‘s the judge who makes the final cut?
Where is the God to whom we owed fealty?
Now nothing is what anyone can say.
I understand it’s meaningless to pray

You know this experience, sometimes when you are browsing in a bookshop you come across a book with a wonderful title. This happened to me as student when I saw a book with this title:
“The courage to be ”
by Paul Tillich
I was going through a hard time and just the title alone helped me as no one I knew had ever said it takes courage to live well.So I bought this book and dipped in. I found it interesting and thoughtful.Sometimes I would just look at the front cover and repeat the title.I had discovered mantra meditation.in a sense.
This morning I was listening to a radio programme about poetry in England and tidying up. Suddenly my old battered copy fell out of a shelf and into my hand.And I said, thank you. Because I had lost this companion and now it’s restored to me when I need again to say the words to help me in a personal crisis.
The Courage to Be
And to recognise the power of words on the human mind and thus to take care of self and others and what we say to them for they too are struggling humans as we ourselves are.
And to discover virtue is not faux piety which suddenly reminded me that Tillich had a weakness for women. He was no plaster saint. I am not saying. I approve.
Had he stayed in Germany he would no doubt have been imprisoned even killed like Dietrich Bonhoeffer.He would not have been silent
Books… they save lives. I was so grateful and still am for education, books, people who talk to me .Had I lived a few years earlier it would have been different.
http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/595850/Paul-Tillich/7266/Development-of-his-philosophy
Tillich was expelled from Germany in 1933,the first non-Jewish theologian to have this honor bestowed on him.I never saw him but I love him for his writing.
Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone and solitude expresses the glory of being alone.
Paul Tillich

In the land which dreams dwell in,
where love and hate and life begin;
where swiftly the deep rivers flow
from lost lands of long ago.
I wander through wild poppy fields
Underfoot the sweet earth yields….
I see the flowering fruit trees start.
Their blossoms gather round my heart…
I hear the sparrows sing with joy
And bees their busy wings employ.
In those lost lands I saw your face
And now I long for your embrace.
Are you real or make believe?
From this earth we all take leave.
Earth to earth and ash to ash
Glory,pride and boasting pass.
Leave me now,my ghostly one
Soon I too will be called on.
Nothing lasts but truth is real
Keep the faith and your ideals..
Earth to earth ,we’ll rest in clay
We must gi ve ourselves away
Softly on this earth I roam
Seeking my love and my home
and until the very end
Love eternal may descend
It began when a writer friend asked me what my Klout score was. We were sitting at the sushi bar of a Japanese restaurant, the master chef assembling edible origami of torched fish and foam. My husband and I used to patronize this neighborhood place quite a lot, until a restaurant critic ruined it for us by his unrestrained rave, so that now you have to make reservations months in advance. But my friend had magically procured us two seats just like that, and when I asked him for the secret of his influence he responded by asking me about my Klout score.
I didn’t know what a Klout score was, but I was pretty sure I didn’t have one. And yes, under his raised-eyebrow questioning, it was revealed that since I didn’t use Facebook or Twitter or any of the other…

A disgrace that launched a browsing app happened by sheer misfortune when her pyjamas fell down
My web rage is uncalcuble,my spelling is distractable.

She had lace which taunted a horde of lips
Trace my musings on my blog journal: A woman’s gay life with men and other tales of joy and woe
Falls and doubts:my life story in briefs
Her face derailed a thousand apps
Her place emailed a thousand apes
She was bare and fair but only in the photograph
Hair play banned by crickets on marsh and other news
The fairness was niggling at him..wait and be,she cried but no, he had to do and so he did

I once was employed as a spy
But then I went blind in one eye,,
However they just said,.
Use both ears instead,
I still cannot see but I try,
Later I was employed as a cook
To look up receipts in cookbooks.
But try as I might
Without my eyesight
I saw nothing however long I looked
You came to be here gradually, from the whirling chaos of the dreaming infant, anchored by the maternal hand to earth. Do not try to fly back to heaven today. Be patient;your guides will,with no effort, Teach you the patterns and the dance. All you need is to be open and to trust, For you have a place in the world. We need your contribution.No-one else will see this world from your perspective. And as you trust the chaos now,fear it not Should it return.Every creative act involves the breaking of these barriers by which we keep the chairs and tables anchored into themselves.The patterns may break up but new ones are somewhere near.Patience with this suffering is the only route now. You cannot go back.Heaven comes only after you have grown roots into this earth, grown sunward,and travailed the storms and stinging blows; have grown your flowers and leaves And let them fall. Accept. The only way you can go is the earthly way. You are part of us. We love you. Our hands are reaching out If you just lift your eyes. In the Chaos,God danced and rainbows Flew from his hands and tears fell from his eyes. Those tears which fertilised our earth. He wept, knowing of the pain to come; And yet,he did not cease to dance.

My husband is so enigmatic
he makes Mona Lisa dramatic.
Except for the night
The bed set alight
And he screamed on a scale near chromatic.
I said, why do you smoke when we kiss?
Apart from that,love is pure bliss
He said,my heart is on fire,
The smoke ascapes via
My mouth. my nose,my desire
t time
odle
I like this
Faces hide multiple layers of truth and falsehoods
Amusement, engagement, estrangement
Downright disassociation with life
yet, laughter, love, life and living
are embedded in our fabric
Ignore hatred, cleanly put your layers
Imperfection scares, even your dearest
Runs away, real ones stay, they don’t mind the pain
of tunnelling emotions
I wear my heart displayed upon my face.
Attentive readers find their meaning there..
Where feelings thought too deep to be embraced
Can shine demurely where they do not scare.
As Freud observed we’re never quite disguised
Betrayal is our body’s real motif
The message comes conspicuous from the eyes..
Bright sparkles or your tears of blackest grief.
The answer to a question seemly leaps
So Yes or No is visibly revealed.
The blush that spreads so fast across the cheeks
Both bold and shy unable to conceal.
Your face tells me you lied when “Love” you wrote.
Yet let us part with song as we are poets.
Loose in the fields of green…
Oh, my own lover!
He was such a bold flirt;
with his love unclaimed,
he could recite George Boole
he was one of the old Cool.
He never reached his goal.
so with my bling and some flair
I hoped he’d open the enchanted bud
To the music of his lyre.
I’ll pray this for him:
T hat he should find what he wreaks
and write it down with a stylus.
Really he is the allurement of angels
He was my epiphany
Make it up, as the clocks clang..
It’s not really you…it’s just an affliction.
I can do nothing for my calves
It’s because of all the punning I did once.
I can’t even lump a stone over a wall now.
My arms are as weak as Trojans.
I never suffer viruses to be declassified.
Like I said,just wink and say a prayer..
In God we dare
A couple of months back I wrote a post on my first impressions with Word 2010, and a few weeks after that I mentioned some excellent videos on Word 2010’s new features made by TCANZ.
I’ve since used Word 2010 some more, and have jotted down some of the differences between it and Word 2007, as well as some other new features I found (some of which are the subject of separate blog posts).
Except for the File, Word Options and Help sections, I’ve arranged these according to the order on the Ribbon.

Iced water falls from the sky in beads
Just leaving space
for fragile butterflies to court between the drops.
The geometry of love
fits any space
The butterfly is braver than the tiger
When you struck me,I vibrated like a kettle drum,
then as smaller percussions and repercussions
echoing from all the glassy surfaces
creating a balletic geometry of sound tracks
in space and time.
When you knocked me down,
I fell against her and her and her;
we were like a row of skittles
and we all went down with the lifeboat;
The infinite chain of being is.
When you hit me,the Fall spread across the world
Now there is no Vertical
All is undivine and graceless.
By the Rod it’s ruled
When you left me,I left myself,the world,the rocks,dry land
I weighed down sank to the ocean bed
with coral eyes
gazing.
When you struck my mind
I became an instrument of a foreign power
Singing a song I didn’t know.
When the glass was smashed
the splinters flew into all our hearts.
You didn’t know what we couldn’t see.
I lay on barren ground and gave birth
To my own Creator in the desert.
When true love’s gone
and doom hangs over head,
When life runs like a river to the sea,
Then, shall I take new lovers to my bed,
And with their carnal touch consoled be?
When true loves lie and break my woman’s heart,
When life seems grey and rocks bestrew my path,
Then, shall I my life of evil start,
And, on the world, shall I bestow my wrath?
When true loves lie and wreck all loyalty;
When puzzlement makes all the world seem mad;
Then I shall upend causality
And let myself do deeds which make me glad.
For I have love’s own child inside my soul
And I shall tend her till at last she’s grown
Intriguing poet
“Very good natured and extremely sweet, Kushtrim and I laughed about my silly mistake and I actually spent some time looking at his blog. Kushtrim didn’t write just one amazing piece, but many pieces that have a beautiful flow and melody to them. I have stubbornly claimed not to like poetry, but I am hard-pressed to find anything I don’t like about his work. Not to mention, upon meeting him.. his peaceful heart flows from him into his words. And I have to admit it, I had a fangirl moment. I was a little scrambled and hopefully he won’t hold that against me.”
