Take Bliss
Following is something I've cherished more than anything I've written or anything I've read in my entire life:
Take bliss, I just tasted bliss, it's an awesome feeling, its bold, freeing, escape to eternity, possession of all you want, and surrender of entity, its like your warned you will be slain, but you want it to be so, and slower you give up the ghost, deeper the cut runs, the more red it is, and you just drown in your own pool of blood, and you swallow it and your chest inflates, and your heart bursts, and you are free of life, and you love, and just that, you meet, and then you wait to meet again, and then that's life, in two halves, meeting and waiting, and the moment you meet you fear departure, and when you depart, you fear that may be you never meet again, and you fear a falling leaf, and you pray, pray for not yourself but for circumstances and you touch and you want more the contact to run an echo in your being, as if some one plucks out your spinal cord, and it jolts you, and you notice the sky, you have not seen the sky for ages, its always been there, but you see it then, and its bluer, and nicer, and when you just sit, and your stray thoughts are not stray no more, and when you wake, a name is in your mind, and a face is in your eyes, and your heart misses a beat just for that, I am in love, hell yea! And last of all that song, the one you never understood, and people you found naive, and dreamers you thought were impractical, and all the clichés, the alternate reality of a roadside freak show, and if you had promised not to give in and you did don't let your faith break a second thought, its when you release your feet from the edge that you realize it is not the gravity that binds you it's the fear of falling that never lets you fly. Even if you crash and burn, you have one consolation that you weren't born a bird afraid of heights. Till the end comes and end comes even to death and of all certainties an end is the most abject, remember that love song that you never understood. And so in the book I write my definition of love.
