Love
—love is the answer
Slyvie: your name evoked my ego
I am Loki
Are you like me?
Do you like me?
I am a fool, I believe
To make us believe
In a better me,
A better man,
Human kind is about ego, power
Lust
Like me, the God of mischievous things,
But I am fallible too,
falling,
Calling
I am small,
As much as I love to be big
As much as my bravado can carry me,
Like my mother Frigga carried me as though she was my blood womb,
And Thor was by my side, a brother truer than family names.
Slyvie: your name evoked my ego,
And I know it’s not ego
To feel the way I feel for you,
My mirror
This is not ego,
This is: and I dare not say the word out loud, but I feel it and I know you do too, it’s our egos that do not allow us to announce it:

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

The things with which we struggle, common to all, how to be with one another. I've been trying to understand the use of "Slyvie" twice until the final line where it's "Sylvie". Typos or with intent? I'm not sure, but the incongruence causes me to linger, ponder, & join more deeply in the unspeakable yearning. Whichever it be, this is a wonderful expression of the human heart. Thank you.
Beautiful piece. Well done.
Love this.
Nice! 😊💕
such a beautiful and heartfelt expression of love. Love truly is the answer to so many of life's questions and challenges. Your words remind us that love can bring us to our highest potential, but it also requires vulnerability and acceptance of our own imperfections. Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts on love.
