Posted on 25/11/2022 by Nightpoet

when you look at it through the wrong end of a

telescope than when you are right there.

When you are actually in America, America hurts.”

SO MUCH PAIN

Posted on 26/02/2021 by Nightpoet

“Love, like most things in life, has its light and its dark side.

It is seldom a straightforward simple undertaking.

This paradoxical two-sidedness is a fundamental aspect,

an observable premise in all that exists in the universe.

Think of matter and energy. Good and evil. To be or not to be.

Misunderstanding this basic concept is what it means to be human…”
