Christmas When Music Almost Killed the World

Classic romantic love is an emotional attraction between two individuals in which they may share a heightened awareness of mutual adoration. Erotic love, traditionally, has been described as shared sexual attraction.

An outrageous instinct to love and be loved blinded your arms to lines of propriety––Women and Men, Christians and Jews, Muslims and Buddhists, white, black, red, brown. An outrageous instinct to love and be loved executed your brain every hour on the hour.

What a lover’s heart knows let no man’s brain dispute.

Varieties of angels, like varieties of love, are many.

In your hands winter is a book with cloud pages that snow pearls of love.

A world without poetry and art would be too much like one without birds or flowers: bearable but a lot less enjoyable.
Aberjhani
Like a Passover Poet gliding from house to house and from trembling soul to trembling soul the wind scribbled sonnets of first time love and weeping haikus of last hours on earth.
Aberjhani
Love taught me to die with dignity that I might come forth anew in splendor. Born once of flesh, then again of fire, I was reborn a third time to the sound of my name humming haikus in heaven’s mouth.
Aberjhani
At one end of the continuum known as history are first-time events that have generated notable measures of public recognition due to either a positive or negative impact.
Aberjhani
Now come the whispers bearing bouquets of moonbeams and sunlight tremblings.
Aberjhani
The birth of a true poet is neither an insignificant event nor an easy delivery. Complications generally begin long before the fated soul carries its dubious light into whatever womb has been kind enough to volunteer the intricate machinery of its blood and prayers and muscles for a gestation period much longer than nine months or even nine years.
Aberjhani
To create art with all the passion in one's soul is to live art with all the beauty in one's heart.
