“Forgiveness is between them and God. My business is to arrange the meeting”.
Quote by Denzel Washington in the “Man on Fire” movie.
“In a Mexico City wracked by a recent wave of kidnappings, ex-CIA operative John Creasy (Denzel Washington) reluctantly accepts a job as a bodyguard for 9-year-old Lupita (Dakota Fanning), the daughter of wealthy businessman Samuel Ramos (Marc Anthony). Just as Creasy begins to develop a fondness for the young girl, a bloodthirsty gunman (Jesús Ochoa) kidnaps her. Now, Creasy must pick off a succession of corrupt cops and criminals to reach his ultimate object of vengeance.”

Unconditional
Loving animals reward
They always love you
Caring for them on your list
Should be a priority

Writing reforms you
A story or poetry
Takes being forthright
Pursuing your truthfulness
Obtaining peace at the end


“The problem is all inside your head, she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover”
Paul Simon

We have a reservation
A virtual table for two
It’s been made by me and you
Whenever our lives decide to give up
We will meet there and sup
A candlelight dinner, maybe some wine
It will be a “catchup” time
We’ll gaze at each other as if time hasn’t been lost
As if our lives, our stars, had never been crossed
A meeting to join together, once, for all time
A reservation we’ve made, a promise in time.

Need I say more? Yes, I do. This is the most sickening picture I’ve seen in two years. Sorry, if you’re offended.

Talking to a stranger
Starting conversation
I don’t feel the danger
Or feel reservation
Maybe desperation?
Wanting to connect
I’m always direct
Start with a smile
Look them in the eye
Not one bit of guile
Most don’t ask why
It’s just me, no pretense
Doesn’t need to make sense
It’s my favorite thing
And the rewards it brings.



Sometimes slightly singed
By love from your heart to mine
Felt deeply, not burned
