Re: Would I?
I agree Gravy. Pasha....since I think you look like a male stripper with a hunting hat on in your photo, I picture you hanging out at bars and having strange conversations. Maybe you read poetry in bars while another stripper strums the guitar.Graverobber wrote:Pasha...you always inspire the strangest conversations

Umm...I guess I'll take that as a compliment...?Graverobber wrote:Pasha...you always inspire the strangest conversations

Although the previous two posts have rivaled me on the weirdness scale...male stripper with a hunting hat reading poetry to a strumming guitar...Russian Rorschach ink blotches luring you to safety...
I couldn't make this stuff up, folks.
And I must

Brilliant, I love it!PashaRu wrote:If all the beautiful flowers
Were suddenly gone
And only you were left
Would I pick you
Or let you grow wild and free?

Your verse woke up a thought in my head.
There is something sad about the fact that mankind have this greed. The obsessive desire to possess or take control of that which generate a sense of wonder. Why would anybody be ready to not only kill the flower by picking it up, but also removing it from its environment which gives it its beauty in the first place? Especially in a scenario where all beautiful flowers are suddenly gone, taking it away from its soil would be the saddest thing possible...
Anyway, very nice one here! Love it!

What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

I guess it can be both, but I didn't intend for it to be strictly literal.Graverobber wrote:This brings up an interesting question...is it literal or metaphorical?
