I believe that love is the main key to open the doors to the "growth" of man. Love and union with someone or something outside of oneself, union that allows one to put oneself into relationship with others, to feel one with others, without limiting the sense of integrity and independence.

Just Be You
When one looks at history
We can either
Learn from the past
To adapt to the present
So you can
Face tomorrow's mysteries
The age old question
We all ask
Can we better ourselves?
To better oneself
You must be brave
To better oneself
You must know love
To better oneself
You must be strong
To better oneself
You must believe
To better oneself
You must learn to share
To better oneself
Just be you
After learning all
Of life's mysteries
One must discover
To be true to
Thine own self
Just be you

0017 And Where The Joy
This, then, the question
for those whom it may concern –
to find a celebration in oneself
that, as outer is, so inner;
that all truth rests within oneself –
for where else can it be found?
to love oneself – for oneself must be loveable,
or none other could be loved for true;
to know all happiness to be within;
to celebrate all this; the world a constant joy;
to find this celebration in oneself.

Union Cures The Illness
For any illness,
The symptoms and signs are within oneself, but
The cure is obtaining medicines from source outside;
Whereas,
For the illness of a well jeweled mistress
Who is longing for union with lover,
She herself is the medicine,
Union cures the illness.

Self indulgences.
The one who talks much of oneself
Is doing so to conceal as much oneself.
The one who curses much oneself
Is doing so to get pity for oneself.

Religion promotes the divine discontent within oneself, so that one tries to make oneself a better person and draw oneself closer to God.

Love grows. Lust wastes by Enjoyment, and the Reason is, that one springs from an Union of Souls, and the other from an Union of Sense.

To Go Through All This Once Again
To go through all this once again
To witness;
All the Sadness All the Pain
The not wanting to live
The fear
The sense of going mad
The desire to escape
The inability to tolerate the very idea of oneself
The sense of one's own absolute worthlessness
The feeling it has all been a waste-
To go through all this once again
And again not be able to help
And again pray and pray
For some way out both for oneself
And the suffering one- one loves-
To go through this once again
And again be powerless and helpless and angrily painfully sad.

True Love Devine
Our inner selves electrified
With love
Drives the inner souls
Beyond oneself,
To ride the galaxy
To unite
Our souls as one my love.
Attracting rays of the sun to
Weld our hearts,
Moonbeams cool our blood.
The stars stand witness
To our divine union,
Blessed by gods universe.
Compelled with all this wonder
And with love truly
Running thru our minds and body
We commit to a life
Of faith hope and charity
Towards all mankind
Of every faith and creed
Who all look up to the same
Bright light shining from the sky,
True love of all kinds will never die.

The Union Forever
It cant be love
for there is no true love
It cant be love
for there is no true love
Shure Im C.F.K.
but you gotta love me
the cost no man can say
but you gotta love me
Well Im sorry but Im not
interested in gold mines,
oil wells, shipping or real estate
what would I liked to have been?
everything you hate
There is a man
a certain man
and for the poor you may be shure
that hell do all he can
who is this one?
[whos favorite son?]
just by his action has the traction
magnets on the run
who likes to smoke?
enjoys a joke?
and wouldnt get a bit
upset if he were really broke?
with wealth and fame
hes still the same
Ill bet you five youre not alive
If you dont now his name
You said the union forever
You said the union forever
You cried the union forever
but that was untrue girl
cause it cant be love

One can not love without opening oneself, and opening oneself, that's taking the risk of suffering. One does not have control.

Mind in Sex is Supreme
Union of mind, not followed
By union of body,
Still sustains pleasure.
Union of body, not accompanied
by union of mind
Gives instant pleasure.
Orgasm exists as
Bodies and minds together fuse.

Faith, Hope and Love
With faith, hope and love, let us we pray.
We believe in this new union today,
And hope that it will always display
Mutual love, respect and equal say.
There’ll be highs and lows in future years.
Many smiles though a few tears.
A wondrous future there’ll always be
If faith, hope and love are family.
Through tribulations this union will need
To be placed ahead of self wants and greed.
At times success will need a healthy shove
From large daily doses of faith, hope and love.
This union’s endurance for eternity
Depends on putting “you” in place of “me”.
And each day of every year
To say, “I love you, my dear.”
Faith, hope and love will then live
As constant companions to give and give.
