POTO vid to the song by Cyndi Lauper

After the Quarrel by Paul Laurence Dunbar

So we, who�ve supped the self-same cup, To-night must lay our friendship by; Your wrath has burned your judgment up, Hot breath has blown the ashes high. You say that you are wronged�ah, well, I count that friendship poor, at best A bauble, a mere bagatelle, That cannot stand so slight a test. I fain would still have been your friend, And talked and laughed and loved with you; But since it must, why, let it end; The false but dies, �t is not the true. So we are favored, you and I, Who only want the living truth. It was not good to nurse the lie; �T is well it died in harmless youth. I go from you to-night to sleep. Why, what�s the odds? why should I grieve? I have no fund of tears to weep For happenings that undeceive. The days shall come, the days shall go Just as they came and went before. The sun shall shine, the streams shall flow Though you and I are friends no more. And in the volume of my years, Where all my thoughts and acts shall be, The page whereon your name appears Shall be forever sealed to me. Not that I hate you over-much, �T is less of hate than love defied; Howe�er, our hands no more shall touch, We �ll go our ways, the world is wide.

An Un-Happy Valentine’s Day by Reid Baer

To My Phoenix Valentine
By Reid Baer

Tonight we brought up all the rules
between us and smashed them real good!

Should we consider love again -
do you imagine that we could?

I wish it would rain down

vid to the song by Katy Perry using clips from The Ugly Truth movie trailers

Just when left alone to know

Just when left alone to know

A bit
A time
A corner, a square, a temple

I wore an umbrella
Upside down

The stars of the time
The vain things of things
The places left in the dark

Falling inside

Just passing

Behind

Between two words, painting titled 'The Ovary'

Between two words
A whole world
Cringed roughly
It was a Yes or a No
Yes in her heart
No in her mind
Pain and despair only
No sense of light
Kept his doors ajar
Peace
Abhorrence of love
Passion
Exaltation of nothing
And tears of Earth
Borrowing bodies for life
Peace
Hope
Freedom
No say
Only a faint No
Free, finally

I saw a flower

I saw a flower
Was I dreaming?
It came with the wind
The rain in vain
Tried knocking her petals down

I saw the rose
She had the colours of my heart
The sublime scent
I closed my eyes

A touch took my dream away
The rose smiled to me
I could not see why
She said good-bye

Nothing more happened
The night covered my dreams
But each time I woke up
I had my body swathed
By her scent.

Always
