It was all a funhouse illusion:
warped mirrors, heartache confusion.
Lights twinkle dim in a music cloud,
spinning in a loud delusion.
A glass house I made with these two hands
for a man made of rolling stones
trying to rebuild with broken glass
long after the grace to let go.
Sleeping with dangerous addictions
like murderers without convictions;
losing myself to sparkling quicksand,
sweet owner of my heart’s contusion.
Red portraits painted with bleeding hands
quickly bruise the whitest of snow
A glass house I made with these two hands
for a man made of rolling stones
trying to rebuild with broken glass
long after the grace to let go.

What happenes when you fall in love
Love is considered to be both positive and negative, with its virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection, "the unselfish, loyal, and benevolent concern for the good of another",and its vice representing a human moral flaw akin to vanity, selfishness, amour-propre, and egotism. It may also describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, oneself, or animals. In its various forms, love acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.Love has been postulated to be a function that keeps human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.
