ultimately leads
to replacing one hurt with another.
Unruly pleasure
leads to bitter rage.
And these lessons I cannot learn

diamonds they were when they kissed mine
wounding lacerations and slices the like.
But I don’t shine; I don’t speak
and see this heart? It no longer beats.”

“THREE BASIC TRUTHS
Three things have a limited threshold:
Time, pain, and death.
While truth, love, and knowledge –
Are boundless.

For humanity to co-exist:
Truth, peace and basic needs.
Everything else -
Is irrelevant.”
