that trip to Heidelberg - atop the Kohnigstuhl funicular, snow-cold skies cutting like an iceberg; while far below, along the river Neckar, it's Spring. I frame the ahlte-bruke, snap your blushing pink and hint of black lace. And then that drunk who spoils the Leinpfad: "I make you angry," he grunts with florid face. Or KillyGordon - you ensconced in a field beside the river, picnic-snug and reading, while I'm upstream intent with rod and reel. Until the farmer hails his evening greeting, concerned about the bull, with looks askance - "Honest, Love. I wouldn't take the chance". ... more u668857 The Personal Space of U668857 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 01:14:51 GMT http://www.shakespearesmonkeys.com/section-449-the-personal-space-of-u668857#comments 0 http://www.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/13209 http://www.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/13209 http://www.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A13209 http://www.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-13208-chemistry http://www.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-13208-chemistry Lithium or Ritalin or something 'xazid, or 'azole - intensifies a lover, accentuates a smile; will out the spirit, overwhelm the wary new-comer and make a summer of wondrous inhibition. Or was it love's own chemical snare - dopamine, serotonin, vasopressin - that dilated our star-struck stare? Yet something more to this cocktail of want, our raison d'etre of desire: the void extant. My late night boozed-up returns to aching emptiness, and your yawning vista of stark Sundays in little rooms.

I dream each day in shards of glass stammering out all of these things that never mattered. Months become glorious battles and years become endless wars with faceless enemies. Moments become bullets without any gun but fear and I wonder if I should wander through my destinies mouth agape or eyes closed. These are the sacred rites celebrated minute by minute in every broken heart the religion of passions and needs and soft nights - time celebrated for kind instruction served in part by callous destruction.

If my name were Samantha, I'd have 7 tattoos -  one for each continent, and a pet monkey named Arturo.  I'd have the artist use food coloring instead of ink - because, really,  I'm just a walking talking dinner for a hungry lion, and I'd hate for him to think my tattoos were in bad taste. If my name were Samantha - though it's not - I'd walk around with a mariachi band playing the theme song to "Bewitched." I'd do this every day until people couldn't stop humming that stupid tune. Until, they wondered why, why does he do that? And they'd ask "Why for God's sake did his mother name him Samantha?" She'd just say, "Well, we thought he was a girl,  and once you name them there's no turning back - You know how tattoos are." ... more Stephan Anstey Beside the Point Fri, 27 Jan 2012 04:32:12 GMT http://www.shakespearesmonkeys.com/section-822-beside-the-point#comments 0 http://www.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/13195 http://www.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/13195 http://www.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A13195
