king shit of fuck mountain :D
as i walk the streets of this place that i roam
this place is not my house, it is not my home
i see filth, i see dirt, i see poverty and ruins
i see children dissolved no support or direction
i see adults giving up, no more hope or salvation
so i come inside and i close the door
i don’t have to see whats out there anymore
but whats inside? my sanctuary
a lot of fine furniture and worldly goods
shelves upon shelves of the greatest books
jazz music playing, singing songs to my soul
a yellow bird and two dogs, one that is old
bright coloured blankets and trinkets and things
make up, photo albums and two wedding rings
but where is the love? it lived here once upon a time
i built this sanctuary. it was his and it was mine
we invested everything from our youth ever had
who would have known that our love would turn bad?
so i rebuilt the fort, and i tore down the shutters
i let the light shine through the windows and drove away the clutter
i relit the fire that once burned in the wall
let its warmth fill me up till i could take it no more
i dusted off my books, and read them again
i started to dance and found my soul, my best friend
i bought a new journal to rewrite this story
and i smiled as i scribbled, this is my home; my sanctuary.

What would we do without notepads, right? I'm reading this on the tail end of my own bullshit fight, and, even though I've never been married, I can relate to pretty much everything in there. I'm sure this isn't the only soul-scat in Words that I can relate to, but it's just that it's at the top of the heap at the right time and place for me to want to respond to.

I like dancing, but, as a guy with no dancing skills, I just look like a crazy-lonely-asshole("CLA" from henceforth). When girls dance to relieve stress they look beautiful no matter what.

It'd be sweet if you performed things like this in front of a beatnik jazz rhythm section. You put the scenario in my head at any rate.
 
thankyou for the beautiful feedback.

in regards to dancing, i personally feel that everyone looks beautiful when doing it. its such a free spirited expression of movement, and i cant help but be intrigued whenever anyone wants to share that in my presence; its contagious. when you observe different cultures and their styles of dancing without inhibition, you begin to feel less inhibited yourself and simply go with the flow of personal expression (i dare you to tell an african tribesman he dances like a CLA ;))

you are so articulately spoken in your posts; its a shame you left the staff team here, and dont contribute more with your own musings.

from herein, please do.
