Quote Of The Day: "If Music Be THe Food Of Love, Play On" ~William Shakespeare

Since about the 17th I have been housesitting for some friends of the family and since I've been here alone, save for their dog, I have had a lot of time to think about things. The other day I was considering architechture, love, and women. Many times I've been told my poetry often holds women on pedastals or sets them too high. I find this quite amusing, because I dont put women on pedastals and certainly dont hold them beyond my own reach. Rather I think that women are put on pedastals so much as they are pedastals. The idea is that, for men, the women we adore and love often times become our pedastals, vessels that hold us higher than we normally are, make us feel like gods. Thats probably why we seek out these women, because with them we are more than what we are, we start to realize and feel our potential. But I dont think its entirely one sided either, I think women enjoy being vessels of divine inspiration, knowing that they have such a profound affect upon our psyche. In a way we make women feel every bit the goddess just as they inspire feelings of godhood in us. Now has this anything to do with me? With my arrogance and dillusions of godhood? Yes, I cannot deny it. A woman is the key to my arrogance, the source of my divinity. And right now I am rather imbued with my dillusions. Yes good friends Angel is the source of my power, so to speak. I feel exceptionally well now since I spent time with her the other day and I felt (feel) closer to her, to you Angel, than I have in a very long time. I enjoy my privacy and aloofness for the most part but in Angels case I enjoy the closeness and intamacy that we share. Id like to take a moment here and point out something. I spent last night with my oldest friend sharing beer and talking and repairing a badly damaged friendship. All is well with Pvt. Jackass now but he did tell me one thing that I disagreed with. He told me that Angel was not someone I should invest much of myself in, I believe he called her a stepping stone to better things. I know how harsh that sounds but the Pvt. was just stating what he felt was true, which is somewhat comendable if not condemable. Angel you KNOW that I dont feel that way, you are'nt part of my path to greatness, your part of the greatness that I strive for. Even though im sure being with the Garcon De Fille makes you somewhat happy, though from my observations it isnt so, I cant describe the elation i'd get from you being single again. But thats just me, hard to explain. My time here in this house is coming to a close but, Angel I need to see you more often.
