Maybe the time has come to be old
When shall I become to be old? My age supports indeed now supports it, but the burning first noted in my youth still fires. My mind, my spirit refuse to adjoin my body, while I realize that it's time. I don't even really look that old, which I don't understand. I cannot pretend to be old though.

To Love a Woman
To really love a woman you must pay a great toll in all liklihood for that initial joy. The "glory of the flower." Because it will not likely last. That fact, though, when weighed against the absolutely overwhelming intoxication of new love, is all but lost completely. Until, that is, it finally becomes time to pay up. Be generous. Pay the girl you used to know. Make her life easier. Women do not arise from the flames of divorce to he heights of men. Make the life of the woman or girl you used to know easier for her. Forgive. But remember: you have absolutely no obligation to ever speak to or see her again.
T This is a picture of me when I'm in love with a woman. I'm fully invested in matters of heat and heart. But then comes the wind and change brought on by our conflicting breezes, and the once fierce love becomes a longing to retro-fit, knowing well that it won't. So then comes sadness. There's never been a better word for it. It can't kill you unless you either let it or do it yourself. This too shall pass.

Looks Like What's Happened to Me
Though grotesque, this is the finest image I've ever captured. And it appeared at the perfect time, while I was, and still am, cursed with a thing I still don't quite understand. It is perfectly horrible. I love you.
