A Handfull of Love Jones...

You're a liar...
face it....don't justify it
sugar coat it...
politicize it...
just name it for what it is...
you decieve by trickery
fraud
you act dishonestly
violate deliberately...as in a game
swindle
create illusions
escape reality
you tyrant
fool, sorcerer of trickery...you overreach
hoodwink, bamboozle...

Though I realize
that asking you to do the opposite
will be contrary to who you really are...
your soul's identity, your stamp of false integrity
this is who you are, don't dare step out of your element
your character; whether fashioned by society, family tradition or pure ignorance...
I respect you for being you.
Superficial
Shallow....
frightingly....conciously...in love.

To get beyond shallowness we have to stop avoiding our pain, stop blaming others for our pain and stop looking to others to find joy. When you love you become very vulnerable, but as much as you become vulnerable to pain and loss, you also become sensitized to experience a depth of feeling you would never have experienced otherwise. It is far better to have loved and lost than not have loved. I will never regret the love I did experience because of subsequent pain through loss. For me it is a risk worth taking and the pain just deepens my ability to love. If you expect to find love in purely superficial characteristics and physical qualities you will most certainly experience extreme disappointment and heartbreak. If after heartbreak, you do not become bitter you will open yourself for the real thing.

wait for it......wait for it.....it is possible....it is real. Just step outside the smoke screen.
