I live to read and aspire to write poetry, cultural and political commentary and a book of nonfiction. The world is made larger through reading. To think that our ancestors were forbidden from reading inspires me to consume as much information as my brain can hold.

    Author Aleja Bennett's 10 Paper back & 8 Kindle Books (2011) http://facebook.com/AuthorAlejaBennett says

    Hi and thanks again for accepting my friend request, I’m the Author of four poetry books about love-romance-life etc. If you are delighted by the two poems below maybe you will consider adding my four books to your shelf. My two newest works will be out next week.

    The World As We See It

    The world as we see it gone
    The world as we see it vague
    The world-our world
    Your world-my world
    God created.

    The world as we see it
    No longer pure-safe
    The world as we see it
    Wish to run-hide-escape.

    The world as we see it gone
    The world as we see it vague.

    The world that once was
    Free from sin-a world where
    Anger-hatred-lies to fall in
    The world that ate forbidden
    Fruit, that sends our
    Bones to hell
    Biblical verses of
    Old that still
    Prevail.

    The world that we use to know
    The world as we see it gone
    The world as we live in it
    Vague.




    I Love you

    I love you to the moon
    I love you to the end of the planets.
    I love you till there's no love in the equator,
    I love you knowing nothing could be greater,
    I will love you from now until decades later.
    Let me love you now, not later.
    Let me love you to
    Northern skies,
    Western hemispheres,
    Without worries, fears or cares.
    Allow me to love you,
    Until you care, blossom up,
    Open up-heal from old wounds
    that you suddenly, slowly start to share.
    Our love is genuine-it can't compare.
    Now your love has opened up wide
    Like a brand new gift on Christmas day
    See what happens when you allow
    Someone to love you.

    I hear you. So many books, so little time. :-) I've been trying to re-read Animal Farm (George Orwell) for weeks now, LOL. It's such a short book and it's interesting (even though I read it years ago), but I've been SO BUSY (just moved into a new house) that I haven't really had time to read for more than a couple of minutes at a time . . .

    Make Merry....

    "Better your anger and fears flow like ink from a pen onto the page, or paint onto a canvas, than blood on the sidewalk. Better your blows strike the faces of drums or cords of melody, than the faces and backs of women and children!"

    - Nathan M. Richardson, Poet & Author
