Bon Appetit!   Vince

Repost of very early entry, "TO KIERKEGAARD"

  POEM "To Kierkegaard"
 

The demon takes so many forms

shapeless,murky,indistinct

That troubled minds react and run

and therefore mold its grisly shape.......

 

Clothed in fear of solitude

the demon smirks and smotes

and colors all horizons past

as failure,loss, and endlessness....

 

The mind obsesses........then denies

looking for its trump

"Aha"he says,"the body hurts",

but then the pain is gone!....

[..............at least for now.]

 

I know I must identify and strip away the robes

of such a heartless,mindless tool

of those who wish to do me harm.......

 

Projection fails,all bastions gone

the mind climbs on the demon`s steed

to see where it will lead......

 

Looking down,it sees some words imprinted on the bridle.

"TO BE SHARED BY ALL WHO WISH TO SEE

MY NAME IS

                F E A R  A N D  T R E M B L I N G  "

I kind of like this one...
Playing around with psychological defenses and their relationship to
Existential Finality..... Vince   c 2003 Deabler, V.T.

Passing Thoughts On Depression

A weakness perceived

tiredness, an ache?

 

No, the thinking starts

present pain is not enough.

 

Ah! stealthily, the super-ego

searches the files

"We can do worse!"

 

Guarantors of pain

life experience parades,

sadness prevails.

 

then you delve deeply

to despair and hatefulness.

 

the future is moribund

for you, deserving.

 

c 2004 Deabler, V.T.

Just a poem, gang!  LOL

" BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM"

Running only 2 years behind, I just saw the movie " Bend It Like Beckham ", starring Parminder K Nagra and Keira Knightley. Absolutely Wonderful! There was a tear in my eye for the penalty shot by Jess, when they played " Nessum Dorma "!

AOL Journal Torch Bearer Award

Thanks to Gregg for creating this award in honor of Viviansullinwank.

Viv, as everyone knows, has been the driving force behind our 1st Anniversary celebration. The amount of time, effort and creativity she has invested is staggering!

For me, her good nature and nurturing made my small contribution to the celebration carefree and painless. It was Viv who selected me to request an Anniversary poem. When it was finished and I sent it to her, within an hour I received my first E-Mail voice message. It was Viv taking time from her busy work day to thank me for the poem, offering wonderful words of encouragement.

When it was time for posting, Viv asked me if I would mind if she searched for a suitable graphic to accentuate its presentation! This from the person who was probably speaking to dozens of others, shepherding their work.

Viv, you are a wonderful woman and it is my continuing pleasure to know you. All my love and respect.

V
