There can be no society without poetry, but society can never be realized as poetry, it is never poetic. Sometimes the two terms seek to break apart. They cannot.<br /> -Octavio Paz

Your eyes
I see
Invite me inside
Your heart
If only you would
It begs
Let me enter.
For love.

You look
I ask
Into my passion
Who are
Do you see
You to
Anything in me?
Sweep me away?

Time moves
In my
Onward
Mind I ask
To take my
Is it in vain
Pain away.
To love you?

I simply don't know.

&quot;At this moment, there are 6 billion, 4 hundred, 71 million, 8 hundred, 18 thousand, 6 hundred, 71 people in the world. Some are running scared.. some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day.. others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good, and some are good.. struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world, 6 billion souls -- and sometimes.. all you need is 1.&quot;
