Soulmates: The Loose Canon Manifesto IV

Soulmates never lose

Soulmates always win

Soulmates only come

Soulmates never go

And there can only be one

Soulmates pave over roads that others trample

and when the dust has settled only your soulmate will be there

Soulmates cry

Too much sometimes

Soulmates don't discern the difference between physical, spiritual or ethereal love

They are all the same, like tense in the Chinese language

Soulmates squeal with delight

And don't always need to talk to say why

Soulmates see

But are blind in helpful ways, to the others faults

And soulmates fight,

not with each other but with anyone else who tries to destroy their union

Soulmates live

Soulmates die

But never without the full knowing to the other that it is time to go

And then soulmates wait

In heaven

Because that is where they can live

in peace

Grace: The Loose Canon Manifesto I

I love the grace of a silk line on a sharp hip
or a wide-brimmed hat on a fair skinned lass.

I love the grace that comes with age making pale the brashness of youth
or the grace of gentle breeding that allows a person to know more than others
yet not behave that way.
I love the grace that rewards substance over style
because making that decision can sometimes be very unpopular.

And I love the grace that grows between couples
when attraction has grown into adoration
has grown into comfort has grown into fulfillment
has grown into unspoken and complete confidence.
Grace can be acquired but not taught.
It can be given but not taken.

Grace can dry tears and calm fears.

Grace is the only virtue that spreads itself evenly
throughout the generations
choosing only to reside in those pure of mind and spirit
oblivious to past sins.

Dreams: The loose canon manifesto III

Dreams are persnickety and fickle things
living totally in space, untethered to anyone
And if no one shares them with us, they go away
Dreams take confidence
Dreams take planning
Dreams exist
Dreams keep us going
Dreams pervade our waking hours
but without trying to realize them, are worthless
Dreams have no use for the conflicted
Without love, dreams die
Dreams are not selfish
they invite us all
