Americans have discovered the fragility of life, that ominous fragility that the rest of the world either already experienced or is experiencing now with terrible intensity.

My.....
My fragility is not differ from yours
I am more delicate or more sensitive
my debilities not reside on my body, in you
your fragility too!
My weakness is my heart wild
In the same compass
who beats in yours
your weakness too!
My softness is shield in my chest
the return of your echoes
that was blowing up in yours
your softness too!
Thanks to you
Thanks to us
for so many imperfection
All my, all your, all ours! ! ! !

What About Love
[Maxi Jazz]
Come on (3x)
I know you so intimately
Anger and misery
The reason for my heart's fragility
How will it be if you simply set me free
Restore my ability, to hold my head high
To speak only truth where I used to lie
Goodbye to the enemy, it's been too long
Come on
What about love? (5x)
Come on
I know you so intimately
Your heady sensuality
The reason for my heart's fragility
How will it be if you simply come back to me
Restore my stability
Take your fill of me
Finally in step like the military
And just as strong, it's been so long
Come on
What about love? (5x)

The Big Black Pen
The big black pen...
The fragility of men
over and over we do our best
again and again
and the worst
collects; compounds
at the end
Between the rays of light
find you the thoughts of man
there between the void
(euphoria..........and the paranoid)
Plays at rest our soul
Restless, hungry for restoration
We know we don't belong
Never did...we long to go home

Smash The Book
Today I am drunk with pain due to fragility
of reason.
Ungrateful city has defeated me.
I do not want any help
One piercing of morality is sufficient
to kill the portrait.
I have promised myself to commit my
hunger for a flame
which should burn probing the pickled
bones.
the kindness is tied to a smell of terrible
prophecies.
First pray for sanity and then smash
the book.
I will be trembling throughout the night.

We don't know where our first impressions come from or precisely what they mean, so we don't always appreciate their fragility.

A Second Chance
Losing a friend makes you think
of your own fragility.
You must live each and every day
as if it is your last,
as life doesn’t give you a second chance.
Take it while you have it
for you never know
what tomorrow might bring.

The Words of Dead Poets
Gazing at fragility,
The words of dead poets,
I weep in a bookstore.
Lonely childhood room
Reading Catcher in the Rye
Never leaves me.
I’m at home in autumn
Among the barren trees,
The windswept life
Blows away my love.

Glass of Wine
The picture of you
Upon the wall is askew
And slanted
But I still love your face.
My life is fading dream
And dissipating fantasy,
But I still wonder
What it would be like
To kiss your lips.
I understand fragility:
I’m a glass of wine
Sitting precariously
At the edge of the table.

So soft the calling
so soft
the calling
that tears the night apart
fragility hurting
the voice undone
so innocent
the hands
that touched the light all through
melting the thoughts
with the first of suns
the beams piercing soul
dance horizons blue
hands unholy in the whole
rest them healed on your chest
cloudward far fetched
oblivion detached

Felicity
All Mankind’s felicity
stays prey to instability,
and may in no time fall from grace, -
as with glass, shattered, none replace, -
they share the same fragility

The Weak love more
A woman, who was fond of you,
Shall be equally so with the others,
Who come her way before and later,
As fragility is her nature.
She leans by her nature, not by your features.

I don't understand why Europeans and South Americans can take more sophistication. Why is it that Americans need to hear their happiness major and their tragedy minor, and as jazzy as they can handle is a seventh chord? Are they not experiencing complex emotions?

Are You Experienced?
If you can just get your mind together
Uh-then come on across to me
Well hold hands and then well watch the sunrise
From the bottom of the sea
But first, are you experienced?
Uh-have you ever been experienced-uh?
Well, I have
(well) I know, I know, youll probably scream and cry
That your little world wont let you go
But who in your measly little world, (-uh)
Are you tryin to prove to that youre
Made out of gold and-uh, cant be sold
So-uh, are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced? (-uh)
Well, I have
Uh, let me prove it to you, yeah
Trumpets and violins I can-uh, hear in the distance
I think theyre callin our name
Maybe now you cant hear them,
But you will, ha-ha, if you just
Take hold of my hand
Ohhh, but are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful

Love is like a delicate flower
Love is like a delicate flower.
But no water is needed for its existence.
Only gentle words to feed its roots,
and passion to help it grow.
Trust to help it stand against the breeze
Kindness to carry its pollen far.
And as this flower grows,
so does the wonder of life
never alone will one soul be,
as long as the flower blooms
No frost to shatter its fragility.

The antelope is graced
I find an antelope in her swiftness,
Fragility, narrow head and coyness,
Yet, an antelope as such I had no love for.
She should be more than it to love for.

The Catwalk
If you have come to the catwalk
Tell me about the fragility
You need not hesitate to say
Among indecision there is still a hope
This morning I walked alone
Crossing the deserted lake
Among the old pine trees
Missed on the catwalk
I want to linger on the way
Drowning in a dream
Hidden in the bushes

Prismatic Observations
Few share, most from self-knowledge shrink,
fear fragility in all that matters,
form's fiction dressed as causal link
providing prism which self-image flatters -
self-fulfilling dish. Who's dished, who'd wink?
or care to think, life soon torn to tatters,
Sharing opens fresh perspective's pane,
light split then recombined sheds masks, sped pain.

Each Day Is A Miracle
what we lost was only simple.
sensitivity.
the curiosity that killed a thousand cats.
we must take our seats.
calm down a bit.
on the grass lies the miracles
of the cocoon
spitting out a yellow butterfly.
there is this fragility of the petals
the glossy leaves
the charm of the morning glories.
i am amazed.
i am silenced.
