When a man does a household job, he goes through three periods: contemplating how it will be done; contemplating when it will be done; and contemplating.

Contemplation Rose
Puerto rican nursery rhymes
Angels in the snow and thyme
And Im keeping my mind on that rose
In a church in spanish harlem
Got watchtowers and awakes for free
In the laundromat for you and me
But you cant take me down that way
As Im not sinking
And if we go down one time
Next times not gonna be the last time
And Im contemplating that rose
In a church in spanish harlem
Didnt I bring you precious gifts
Came to kiss you on the lips
Didnt even appear
To beg your pardon
To lay out in the morning sun
Feel the cool breeze and the one
Right there in, in my garden
Puerto rican nursery rhymes
And angels, and angels, and the snow and thyme
But Im keeping my mind on that rose
In a church in spanish harlem
Yeah, and if we go, if we go down one time
The next time will not be the last time, and im
Keeping my mind on that, contemplating that rose
Up in a church in spanish harlem
And if we go down one time, you know
The next time it wont be the last time
And Im contemplating that rose
In a church in spanish harlem
And Im contemplating that rose
In a church in spanish harlem
And Im contemplating, and Im contemplating that rose
In a church in spanish harlem
And Im contemplating that rose
In a church in spanish harlem
And Im contemplating that rose
In a church, in a church in spanish harlem

He greatly valued his possessions, chiefly because they were his, and derived genuine pleasure from contemplating a painting, a statuette, a rare lace curtain - no matter what - after he had bought it and placed it among his household gods.

Wandering Heart
I went around the universe,
To find my true love.
I look, see and seek everywhere
But no one did I find.
Then you came along,
And the stars lit up the night sky.
You stole my heart;
You stole my life.
So why am I here,
Sitting all alone,
Where did you go?
What went wrong?
Wondering why I live?
Looking for meaning
Of my heart wondering
Of my heart wandering.
Because of you,
You meant for me;
I meant for you.
Your Heart be with me.
I’m contemplating;
I’m pondering;
My heart wandering;
Can you be with me?
Wandering spirit,
Solitude soul,
Contemplating mind,
My Wandering heart

Contemplating Hell
Contemplating Hell, as I once heard it,
My brother Shelley found it to be a place
Much like the city of London. I,
Who do not live in London, but in Los Angeles,
Find, contemplating Hell, that it
Must be even more like Los Angeles.
Also in Hell,
I do not doubt it, there exist these opulent gardens
With flowers as large as trees, wilting, of course,
Very quickly, if they are not watered with very expensive water. And fruit markets
With great leaps of fruit, which nonetheless
Possess neither scent nor taste. And endless trains of autos,
Lighter than their own shadows, swifter than
Foolish thoughts, shimmering vehicles, in which
Rosy people, coming from nowhere, go nowhere.
And houses, designed for happiness, standing empty,
Even when inhabited.
Even the houses in Hell are not all ugly.
But concern about being thrown into the street
Consumes the inhabitants of the villas no less
Than the inhabitants of the barracks.

3....Crawling The Walls (Insomnia)
The white ceiling is my best friend
Surely - we spend too much time together
Whatever the weather,
Contemplating the world.

I'm contemplating moving to London for a period of time. I've been in Los Angeles for 15 years and I'm really tired of it. I'm continually uninspired by what's being sent to me. Even by huge films that they're doing there. They're just awful.

Compelled to Write
As I
sit
in
silence
contemplating.
Somewhere
deep
within,
emotions
begin
to
stir.
Emerging
to the
surface,
eyes
become
misty.
I am
left
with the
question
why.?
Once
again
I am
compelled
to
write.

A Caution to Poets
What poets feel not, when the make,
A pleasure in creating,
The world, in its turn, will not take
Pleasure in contemplating.

Sea Sick
i am an old man now
when i take the boat for a ride back home
passing the islands
and stopping over some ports
i get dizzy
as you all enjoy the trip
i lay in the corner
with my vomit
contemplating again on something
stable and steady

Meditating...love
Under the shawl of moonlight
I have been meditating
so many seasons passed by
I kept on contemplating
a jasmine like dream
perfumed the isolation
for the scent to touch, my soul
I profused my desolation.

And if citizens of New Orleans who are really contemplating coming back heard that we're really intent upon making the place secure again - regardless of whether the levees held or not - then I think a rebuilding process would really take shape.

The Anchored Boat
Waves kissing the pebbled shore
Gazed at me and asked:
'Shall we see your boat no more? ! '
Contemplating the blue sky
I responded to them with a sigh
'God will send it again,
Hopefully,
And you and I will embrace it
Lavishly!

People may flatter themselves just as much by thinking that their faults are always present to other people's minds, as if they believe that the world is always contemplating their individual charms and virtues.

Atop a Mound
I sit atop a mound,
High above the ground,
Contemplating time,
Listening for a sound,
Then I start to climb,
All the way back down,
Down, down, down,
To the grassy ground.
