Wordgrove Post & Review

Quoted in the Grove:
Good books don’t give up all their secrets at once.
~Stephen King

When you re-read a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in yourself than there was before.
~Clifton Fadiman

Beware of the stories you read or tell; subtly, at night, beneath the waters of consciousness, they are altering your world.
~Ben Okr

EndQuote:
Don’t ask me who’s influenced me. A lion is made up of the lambs he’s digested, and I’ve been reading all my life.
~Giorgos Seferis

Prewritten: Sometimes it’s better not knowing

~Greymane: Curtain Call

Amusing as the show must be, repeating where we fail,
Is Man’s continued travesty the Devil’s holy grail?
Is someone on a golden throne prepared to save us all?
A Savior sipping methadone before his curtain call?
Sometimes it’s better not to know the things that lie ahead
It’s funny how the past will tell us futures left unsaid
A distance we can never cross, too cold and deep to hold
A spirit soaring albatross to torture seven-fold
A journey from the place we’ve been to places we can’t go
Apocalyptic tailspin to close another show

~Heartou: Cognac Once

There is so much swirling around in my head
Is it real or a way to fill up the hole instead
Does the look he gives me provide
a way for me to connect
through my expressionless resting bitch face?
What if this is love and I find out
We could be happy
Sometimes it’s not better knowing
but why?
Couldn’t I just once know this is right
Just soar with no need of faith to fly
I adore him
I do, his touch helps it’s true
But I remember to
not question what I can’t understand
And you,
If you are sharing time and love
Do not bother searching for answers in feelings
Time is the constant, the space
the only connection to ride
