And this is one of the major questions of our lives: how we keep boundaries, what permission we have to cross boundaries, and how we do so.

The question of boundaries is a major question of the Jewish people because the Jews are the great experts of crossing boundaries. They have a sense of identity inside themselves that doesn't permit them to cross boundaries with other people.

Boundaries
They say there are boundaries
that we should not cross.
Boundaries of love
that if we step over
we find danger waiting there.
They say there
are rules of engagement,
to break them is taboo.
However when you cross
over into love’s territory
you find the rules of arbitration
mean nothing there.
We seek no silken thread
to mend fragile wings,
but strings to tug
at the coldest heart
as we step across the boundaries
of love’s beating heart.

Dancin In My Mind
Verse1:
Feelings carry away with me
Till I tremble no more
Music makes lovers of all of us
Out on the floor
Oh, I dont know you too well
And we dont have much time
But whenever you cross my mind
Chorus:
Well be dancin like we did that summer
When no boundaries kept us confined
Well be intimately dancin in my mind
Verse2:
I wish I had many lives
At least more than this one
Then I could deeply feel and learn
To love everyone
No, I just cant up and leave
Everything behind
But still you have touched my life
Chorus:
And Ill be dancin like we did that summer
When no boundaries kept us confined
Well be intimately dancin in my mind
You feel lovely
Youre just what I need right now
Do do doo da doo
Chorus:
Dancin like we did that summer
When no boundaries kept us confined
Well be intimately dancin in my mind

I think we were just coming out and being ourselves, instead of operating within boundaries that other people had created. We decided to do away with those boundaries.

All these boundaries - Africa, Asia, Malaysia, America - are set by men. But you don't have to look at boundaries when you are looking at a man - at the character of a man. The question is: What do you stand for? Are you a follower, or are you a leader?

Harmony and hatred.
Territories are physical boundaries.
Cultures are psychological boundaries.
Threatening of invasion is always there.
Harmony and hatred cannot be sterilized.

Believe
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album made in england
I believe in love, its all we got
Love has no boundaries, costs nothing to touch
War makes money, cancer sleeps
Curled up in my father and that means something to me
Churches and dictators, politics and papers
Everything crumbles sooner or later
But love, I believe in love
I believe in love, its all we got
Love has no boundaries, no borders to cross
Love is simple, hate breeds
Those who think difference is the child of disease
Father and son make love and guns
Families together kill someone
Without love, I believe in love
Without love I wouldnt believe
In anything that lives and breathes
Without love Id have no anger
I wouldnt believe in the right to stand here
Without love I wouldnt believe
I couldnt believe in you
And I wouldnt believe in me
Without love
I believe in love
I believe in love
I believe in love

Be boundless
Birds have no boundaries.
Winds have no boundaries.
The whole world is theirs.
Without conflicts they live there.
Remove nation and religion.
You can live as they do.

Surfaced Emptiness
I close my eyes...
And no boundaries appear.
I open them and quickly see...
Restrictions that are limited.
And labels placed,
That are believed.
Although unclear...
To one who perceives.
I feel emotions,
But taught them not to express.
I am confused by those,
Who have open conversations.
But only to address,
A surfaced emptiness.
I close my eyes...
And no boundaries appear.
I open them and quickly see...
Restrictions that are limited.
And labels placed,
That are believed.
Although unclear...
To one who perceives.
I question with answers expected.
Although I am told,
Curiosity killed the cat.
But if cats have nine lives to live...
Why should my questions,
Threaten death like that?
I am not a cat.
I want to learn!
And that's a fact.
I've stumbled and fell,
To my knees that were scraped.
Most of what I've comprehended,
Has been done by making mistakes.
And if 'censoring' teaches anything at all...
It teaches that one man's truth,
Could get him exclusively blackballed!
How hypocritical can the expression be...
'Do as I say!
And not as I do! '
Mean to today's youth...
On pursuit,
To living lives wholesomely!
Senseless without a point,
Seems this journey!
Senseless without a point,
To hunger with a yearning.

Free to See Beyond Limitation
To be free to see beyond limitation,
Would be a welcomed transformation for anyone.
That is idealistic.
But as I grow older,
I become more accepting of those who choose to remain,
Living within boundaries.
If I had not...
An ego I could not have dropped!
I would be there within boundaries,
Seeking to fit into a conformity unrecognizeable.
And yet effective.
To keep me contained and less reflective.
Within a maze.
For purposes to leave those dazed...
By their own inflicted amazements!

Continuous Is The Flowing
So vast is a Universe.
Where flights of fancy are condoned.
And taken undisturbed...
Unlimited and free of boundaries.
Free of words spoken,
To utter descriptions of what is seen...
That may come to hinder one's voyage,
With a seeking of definitions...
One will never find on lips to depict the unknown.
Only sights are observed within this majesticness.
Manifesting a peaceful and pleasing birth of a journey.
Continuous is the flowing that grows.
Only sights are observed within this majesticness.
And manifesting without a need for validation,
Is this creativity which is never at rest.
Nor is there a time capable enough...
To give to it to satisfy its completion.
Only sights are observed within this majesticness.
Manifesting a peaceful and pleasing birth of a journey.
Continuous is the flowing that grows.
Only sights are observed within this majesticness.
And manifesting without a need for validation,
Is this creativity which is never at rest.
Nor is there a time capable enough...
To give to it to satisfy its completion.
So vast is a Universe.
Where flights of fancy are condoned.
And taken undisturbed...
Unlimited and free of boundaries.
Continuous is the flowing...
Unlimited and free of boundaries.
Continuous is the flowing...
Unlimited and free of boundaries.
Continuous is the flowing...
Unlimited and free of boundaries.
Unlimited and free of boundaries.
Unlimited and free of boundaries.

The Invincible Concept Cannot Be Drawn Actually
i like it simply
because it is simple
and so we make it as simple
as it should &
must be
more graphical
representation of what
is not yet inconceivable?
an empty page
with definite boundaries
it is a rectangular world
with ballpoint
edges
our thoughts are likened to
boats of old
people who believe that
beyond these
rectangular boundaries
we all
must fall
and eaten
by dragons
raised by the
gods who take
vengeance upon us
and our ancestors
because we are
hardheaded
about what?
they say Here, here,
and then There
but where? and then
they say
the blank page is
actually
an elephant's
pachysandra
where we ride
and that the elephant
is carried by another
elephant and another
elephant
on top of each
other's
innocence
i shake my head
seventy-seven times seven
upon this faulty picture
of a contrived reality
is this the way
to explain that we must
survive
without so many
questions?
i must think
that beyond the four corners
of this rectangular world
are birds with a million wings
and they
are invincible
and we do not know
where they are now
we haven't heard
and so here we are in the
middle of this journey
this falling with no one to
catch us
dreaming of
ocean floors
wishing for the
blue skies

Abaa Yaa
Abaa Yaa!
Your love is like the functional imporvement of my mind;
With values,
Pleasantness,
Understanding,
Pleasantries,
And, your spiritual directions will surely be crowed by nature.
From Mercy to Margret,
From Mary to Victoria,
From Dose to Kofi,
And like the muse of names bering changed every now then!
But, who is now on the new list?
Boundaries belongs to humility but,
True love has no boundaries!
And, i will live to love you always my sweet Abaa Yaa.

The Need Not To Be Repossessed
Why can't you accept where those boundaries are?
Why must you treat yourself to a round of disrespecting me?
When you have clearly,
Tracked yourself uninvited...
Into my zone.
As peace and I were sharing some alone time.
You've come to me as if I pay you rent.
And I don't have the sense to know you own it.
MY 'space'.
And you came today to collect,
Another argument?
One I'm going to sit to listen and condone?
Why can't you accept where those boundaries are?
Why must you treat yourself to a round of disrespecting me?
When you have clearly,
Tracked yourself uninvited...
Into my zone.
As peace and I were sharing some alone time.
There is not a rule I obey,
Without first going into consultation with God.
And I would not be surprised if you found that odd.
Not an eyebrow would quickly lift upon you admitting this.
Possessing a need to control,
Is your issue.
And the need 'not' to be repossessed,
Is mine!
Why can't you accept where those boundaries are?
Why must you treat yourself to a round of disrespecting me?
When you have clearly,
Tracked yourself uninvited...
Into my zone.
As peace and I were sharing some alone time.

Immortality
Lies of forever enwalls my vision
My vision of lucid illusions
Illusions of deluded memories
Useless memories of my visions
Inhibitions suppress my advances
My inhibitions are boundaries
Boundaries of real from fantasy
Fantasies of distorted reality
Forever is just a lie
For all is bound to die
We can never say ‘never'
Probabilities of possibilities won't err
My skeptical tongue tied
Strangled with this mad hope
Interlaced with immortality

Old Dog, For Jackson
old dog, old dog,
we've walked too far
on this journey
for either of us
to go home alone...
you know my secrets,
and i know yours...
and we've both pissed
on the boundaries
of lives well lived.
strong and faithful,
now old and blind...
through the darkness
past the light...
to beginning and end!

From My Heart
I will give everything from my heart to you,
But promiscuity knows no boundaries;
You can see how strong it is,
You can feel how sweet it is,
For surprises are always a fun too.
I will give everything from my heart to you,
But fertilization and pregnancy is our ability to reproduce!
How sweet is it?
How strong isit?
How nice is it?
How far is it?
For true love works no harm against his or her neighbour.
Promiscuity knows no boundaries and true love performs the law,
So i will cut a fresh path on this love to help you overcome;
For, how long shall we look back?

Gimmickries
sometimes i am trying to figure
out if you are only trying to impress
me with your questions
perhaps you want to project wit
and on the other hand i try to answer
each question
with definitive answers like lands
with exact boundaries
delineated from the river and the sky
here we are again
wanting to make a point
but missing everything
here we are again lost in the labyrinths
of our pretenses
my face is masked with bitter realities
and there you are
chained with the shackles of your
freedom.

To Escape From Those Common Places
Hard it is,
To esacpe from those common places.
And familiar faces we grow with perceptions,
Comfort us in an exchange of receptions...
To confirm the lives we are led to live.
Hard it is,
To accept differences.
We instantly become threatened,
In our protective environments.
And then many begin to adventure,
Beyond those boxes of do's and do nots.
To experience something fresh to discover...
What our taught concepts from us has blocked.
Past teachings taught then,
Become limited.
And the ones restricting boundaries to inflict,
Are observed to have biases...
Outdated and illegitimate.
And questions to them,
No more are asked.
Since what has been uncovered,
Opens eyes wide and fast.
