War, Like

It glitters like the smashed beer bottle in the sun
at the bus stop in front of the nursing home

It rustles like the ghostwriter's manuscript
at the peace conference

It flickers like the bluish reflection of the TV screen
on the somnambulistic faces

It smells lke the steel of the fitness studio's machines
like the breath of the bodyguard at the airport

It bells like the speech of the chairman
It swells like the fatwah out of the mouth of the ayatollah

It drips like the video game on the schoolboy's diskette
It glints like the chip at the bank's computing center

It spreads like the puddle behind the slaughterhouse

Breathing
rustling
it swells
smells

You mean watch you WIN? imputing March 27 2008, 03:50:07 UTC

And what about the love of violence? Or the love of glory? Or the love of death? Or the love of war itself? All these bring about war.

I was meaning to add that last phrase in a last tag, but it'll seem un-Romeo like irislover March 27 2008, 03:55:12 UTC

Um... That's not love, Sir. They just claim it is.

I know such men claim they "love" but they don't. They are the people I described. Those afraid to experience love. They hide themselves under that like they hide behind swords or other excuses.

Mun braces for very Romeo like outburst? :3 imputing March 27 2008, 03:56:36 UTC

What is love, then?

1/2 irislover March 27 2008, 04:14:50 UTC

Nope sorry >D He feels sad for Johan irislover March 27 2008, 04:15:44 UTC

You know, Sir? Someone who has loved shouldn't need to ask that question.

Johan no lieks j00s >( imputing March 27 2008, 04:19:18 UTC

Perhaps, at least those who haven't loved the way you have defined it.

CRAI MOAR irislover March 27 2008, 04:45:21 UTC

Real love isn't defined by words, it's too immense, too fulfilling. It can only felt and experienced.

imputing March 27 2008, 04:56:49 UTC

You must be talking of the love of love, then.

No confusing him, he knows about love, Jo :( irislover March 27 2008, 05:02:32 UTC

No, Sir. I talk of love. I live in love. The true joy of love.

Nuh-uh, he doesn't! D< imputing March 27 2008, 05:04:08 UTC

What is it you love?

Yes, he does. Romeo is like a SYNOMOUS for Love irislover March 27 2008, 05:06:01 UTC

I first loved Juliet. Then I loved the world I lived. That means the people too. For the world belongs to the people that live within.

imputing March 27 2008, 05:07:56 UTC

And if one was to take Juliet away from you, what would you do?

irislover March 27 2008, 05:24:35 UTC

Someone already tried. I stopped that.

imputing March 27 2008, 05:26:32 UTC

If she was taken away permanently, what would you do?

irislover March 27 2008, 05:35:50 UTC

What would I do, Sir? I'll fulfill my vow to her as always. It can't happen; no matter what other people do and the distance between us two.
