The striking thing about the Precious Blood is the bond it establishes between love and suffering in our experience, a bond that has become so close that we have come to think of suffering accepted with joy as the most authentic sign of love with any depth at all.

Promises Must Be Kept
A promise is a vow of honesty
And honesty is the foundation of love.
Love is a bond that can never break,
As it falls from the heavenly skies above.
But what is a bond that cannot break
If dishonesty gets in its way?
What is a connection worth to us both
If pain and suffering is what we must pay?
If it's something about me, my love, let me know
And I'll readily fix what I've done.
But I think, if we're honest, it's not at all me,
Only you and your life on the run.
For a virtuous vow of honesty
Is a promise you shouldn't accept,
If it's always replaced by excuses and lies.
A promise is a promise and must be kept.

Bonds
The bond can be strong and unchangeable
It can make life worth living and bearable
But a bond not worth savaging is worth less
Than the mud on the bottom of a shoe from payless
Chosen bonds can make it through the worst storms
It far exceeds and surpasses the societies norms
Deviant one may say, but a worthless bond
It cheap and can sometimes be a con
The bond that is not even enough to withstand
The bond that can't even to begin to comprehend
It's not the bond someone can lay life
On, and you know when that bond is right
When all you see is the shinning lights

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.
No more guessing, but love
Close your eyes and we'll fly away
we can be together for a day...
or two or forever! :)
our love even the world cannot sever
if you just say those words say them please...just 3...
or if i am the first to say them just answer in 4
softly...with your gentle and angelic voice...and smile.. my heart is sore
it yearns for you my darling how i love you so
i dont know what i would do if you don't want to go
anywhere with our friendship
just stay friends..... i cannot, please come away
maybe i could just get over it or something
but its not that easy i just you are wonderful sometimes its fey
i just dont want to be friends i want to bond with you
you bond with me too
get to know you and bond... on a deeper level...
come away i say come away
with me
o my love let us live happily
i love our spell, being us is wonderful don't you see?
please dont mull
over this, dont think that much please just accept my spell, accept my love
o my darling i love you

His Word Is Not His Bond
(girls let me tell you what a liar will do
Hes always coming with something new
Hell steal your heart...)
He lives in the waste
Void of culture and taste
His eye on a prize beyond
His every word is in the right place
But his word is not his bond
His face is comely
His heart it bleeds
Yet its but a mantel
He has donned
Mark him only by his deeds
For his word is not his bond
Id love to take him
Out of this room
And gently break him
Id love to see him dance!
His protogee deals
In confusion and fog
Of power he is fond
Wheels within wheels
Like master, like dog
His word is not his bond
Im trying to swim
But Im caught in the shallows
And I sense that Ive been conned
Deliver him
To the gallows
His word is not his bond
His word is not his bond!

Suffering
I heard about your happiness
And all the plans that youre involved in
Since youre gone youd be impressed
To know i, too, have been evolving
But I dont think you comprehend
Ive been suffering
Yeah, Ive been suffering
Guess Ill be suffering up around the bend
This love is a cancer in me
I can feel it advancing in me
This fire it is my light in the world
Well, I found me a new friend
Ive been suffering
Yeah, Ive been suffering
Guess Ill be suffering up around the bend
I hung around in a leather bar
They threw me on the cement
Slept all night in my plastic car
Got in an accident
I brushed by you in the supermart
And I had me a touch of whats real
It was real when you crushed me with your steel
Black clouds roll through my mind
Who says anyway these halls are sovereign?
I am a hater of the human kind
So keep away, this hearts not softening
No, I dont think that its the end of this suffering
Yeah, Ive been suffering
Ive been suffering
Ive been suffering
And Ill be suffering up around the bend

The Love Sonnets Of Proteus. Part III: Gods And False Gods: LXIV
HE APPEALS AGAINST HIS BOND
In my distress Love made me sign a bond,
A cruel bond. 'Twas by necessity
Wrung from a foolish heart, alas, too fond,
Too blindly fond, its error to foresee.
And now my soul's estate, in jeopardy,
Lies to a pledge it never can redeem.
Love's loan was love, one hour of ecstasy,
His penalty eternal loss of him.
--See, I am penniless, the forfeit paid,
And go a beggar forth from thy dear sight,
My pound of more than flesh too strictly weighed
And cut too near the heart. Fair Israelite,
Thy plea was just. Thy right has been confessed.
And yet a work of mercy were twice blessed.

Pain & Suffering
pain and suffering
turn things to blood
a power floats
upside down in a river of mud
a skull of a goat
makes love to you
you're my doll
a pet who meows
and blood and hate
the blood that's everywhere
suffering, i am terminating this world
i'm your father now
no more shelter, no more fun
human race, you're going to writhe now
heh heh heh heh
i am angry
a tall building fell on daddy
pain and suffering
i am destruction
i am angry
i am total
(growl)
pain and suffering
the pain, the pain
no birds are singing
here comes armageddon
no more shelter
no more fun
human race
i've got you

Sonnet: To My Wife
Our marriage comes just once a life-time dear;
Yet, anniversaries could come often;
Our sacred bond must instill love, not fear,
And help us reach our goal, which is Heaven.
Why brood over the future God intends?
’Tis waste of precious time in worrying much;
Why bother when our needs God well attends?
Let’s thank the Lord for his Fatherly touch.
Let’s keep our lives God-centered and proceed;
Avoiding sins, we must perform good deeds;
God will provide whatever things we need;
Let’s not worry if suffering exceeds!
Each Marriage Anniversary must show,
God’s love and help our love on earth to grow!

There is no true love save in suffering, and in this world we have to choose either love, which is suffering, or happiness. Man is the more man - that is, the more divine - the greater his capacity for suffering, or rather, for anguish.

Conscious Bond of Universal Suffering and The Coming Opus Love Overflow!
The Human bond of earthly suffering
Suffering earthly bondage of the body
The human suffering and earthly bondage
caused by the love filtering psyche!
Nothing bonds like human suffering
nothing damages love more than the suffers of desire
No suffering as human as the desire to be loved!
The fact remains universal:
all on earth who succumb to the power
creating human suffering
possess still the human power of transcending
So tell me who's suffering this day
or any day?
Who needs an arm, a hug,
a warm home cooked meal?
Who else needs to feel the warmth of a breathing body
during those quiet solitaire coffin hours of the night?
Who has not a bed to sleep?
Nor roof overhead to protect from the impending storm?
Who else senses the overwhelming lack of human compassion?
Who's ready for the opus love overflow!
For you are just as ready as I!
And I as ready as he or she!
They as open and prepared to receive as we!
Together, all exchanging our love
indiscriminate and Free!
Oh for everyone to experience each day
the way the cherry trees receive summer and spring!
When you recognize the indistinct face of beauty
you shall become the mirror of eternity!
Fashion age race sex weight
these are inconsequential to beauty's eyes!
When true love is realized
one receives nothing further or less in return!
For love, pure and essential is the only return!
To love undeterred and undivided is to love with the soul!
When you love with the soul
there remains not a soul on earth or any sphere beyond
can not help but fall in love with you!
Alleviation Human Connection!
Purest of any element!
It's up to US to heal OUR pain
We need Sympathy Encouragement
Reassurance Forgiveness Compassion
Listen to the Mynas for they know
Karuna! Karuna! Karuna!
Karuna Here and Now
forever and always
OH Aldous I'd pluck out both eyes and never read again
if it enabled me to see the light so clearly as you saw.
Suffering – Nature causes its fair share
Through our impelling one-upmanship
the pannier of the of the planet is over tilt
Atlas was human just as any
let us summon the strength
to hoist the orb of onus atop collective shoulders
Universal Human Suffering – we are at once
the victims the source and the cure
Suffering begets compassion
a statement of elementary observation!
Without one another we turn on ourselves
reverting to the sadist horsemen of the fiery purge
They say we grasp that which we cannot attain
But this we can hold! we can touch! we can feel! This we can Understand!
For the Hold the Touch The Feel
The Understanding of another
be all the alleviation one needs!
One can't help but feel the tension melt under
the divine presence in the palm of a single hand!
No further prove needed to assure the power of god is in man
than the sanative manna that comes form the caress of the human hand!
The Bond! The Bond!
The sacred bomb
ticking inside each and every one of us!
Release your love like a hand grenade!
Free your aim! Broaden your range!
Set down your singular sniper scope!
Let love be automatic!
go on a indiscriminate loving spree!
Oh let it explode release love's nuclear finale payload!
Over citizens world wide see the light reflect from the wonder in their eyes!
Over cities farms metro rural flora and fauna alike!
Mushrooming Beauty over every radiant earth surface!

It's All Mathematics

Communication+understanding=a bond
A bond+loyalty=love
Love+commitment=togetherness
A bond understanding togetherness,
Between you and me...
Equals communication and love.
It's all mathematics that minuses dramatics!
There can be no division once we've made this decision.

Bond
Bond
His name is James Bond
A small golden fish
Swimming in my pond
Along lines he rises
Cruises on the grid
Has many disguises
Hides and stays hid
Bond
His name is James Bond
A small golden fish
Of which I am very fond!
He's truly ambitios
He's fierce and vicious
Bond - my pet Piraya
Swimming with the fishes.
I am honored to be a Bond girl and be a part of the Bond legacy, To star in a video game with Connery, the original Bond, is incredible.

Always Suffering
Let's take a walk
Just you and me
And talk of days gone by
Across the fields
Under the trees
Let's speak of you and I
While the whole world
Was wandering
We walked a steady line
When all our friends
Were wavering
We kept on trying
Now we're always suffering
Already lost
Always suffering
Already lost
Remember when
On summer days
I would sing a lovers son
How you would smile
Shower me with praise
And the sun shined on
Now the rain is falling slow
And the nights grow long
And the train
Cries out so hauntingly
She is gone
Now we're always suffering
Already lost
We're always suffering
Already lost
Please take these flowers
Smell the perfume
Let your soul come alive
Let there be hope
Hope in your heart
That our love may revive
For life is but a chance
On a wind swept hill
And the seeds of love
Are swirling above
Let them be still
But we're always suffering
We're already lost
Always suffering
Already lost

I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.

Sorry
sorry I dint said it earlier
sorry for not being open
sorry for not being patient
sorry for being that quick
I'm sorry I could not perceive
The need to think more than twice
It was for the peers effect
and the loneliness I wanted to curb.
Its unfortunate that
not until you get it
do you realize what you've been missing.
sorry for the easy acceptance
sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
Sorry for the urge of having you
now its like never before
sorry for what I never knew.
Love to me was a dream,
sorry for the blind rash to know
sorry for I know what it feels,
I'm sorry for I love you the most
sorry for you've touched the inner me.
I believe Its never too late,
for the God given bond isn't broken
I say sorry though not sure
if its meant to bond me and you.
I'm sure I love you,
don't get me wrongly please.
sorry for what I've never done
may be this isn't enough,
but I'm sorry I Love you.

At the beginning of a new life
I. Bond
When we were in love, full of love on the beach
walking around on honeymoon, with happy people everywhere
to me her eyes were shining like stars
with a sign on her finger as my pledge.
II. Pregnancy
When the seed took root in her
becoming human, for her there is a whole territory
that stretched into the future,
I see obligations appearing from nowhere.
III. Predestination
She knows that in our love and passion lays new life,
have got dreams and images that she wants to be concrete
knows that there’s a heritage in chromosomes
that something precious lies in her pelvis.
IV. Growth
When there is turbulence in her abdomen
she is joyfully aware of new life,
to her love becomes reality,
to us it is the blessing on our union.
V. Début
We are wondering if it will be
a he or she
coming into our lives
and with the pregnancy we are ecstatically happy.
VI. Shelter
Where you are now safe in her,
without any worries
destiny is already determining
your future without any pity.
VII. Posterity
Where we as humans are mortal
you are becoming an antipode against this sentence
the knowledge that we are continuing in existence
comes as light against the eternal darkness.
VIII. Development
You grow without fear and want to be born,
want to come into the world
as life and destiny determines,
to leave us speechless with your first cries and laughter.
IX. Formulary
That we bring you into a sinful world
where hardship, pain and suffering abounds
we cannot change, even with the greatest love,
but we know that His love reaches through everything.
