All We Ever Needed (it)
It isn't scarce,
It.
We went sailing,
the wind blew us off course and
we went diving: whale sharks circling us in square-like fashion.
We sat on the beach as the sand blew into our eyes,
and laughed and cried about the past -
and possibilities -
in order to remove the grains that scratch like rock.
We were all we ever needed,
when we were all we ever needed.
Now I am blind.

Oh Ramon
We were all we ever needed,
when we were all we ever needed.
I think we forget this. Until we're blind. And the only way we can see is backwards.
But maybe that's what we have to learn. To see now. Rather than the"when" we seem to chase.
Just maybe, Dolce.
Just maybe.
Very fucking soon.
interesting ramon
the question is: did you choose your blindness?
and if so, can you go back to the way you were?
The age old question, Aslam.
Do we really have a choice?
Shit, Ramon
this is one for the hall of fame, bru. Wow.
Just rambling, Deks.
Just rambling, really.
But fanks, hey.
Ramon
These precious intangibles never truly die. Perhaps mutate or lie dormant ...but always renewable if one is prepared to accept that no emotion, experience or situation can ever be relived exactly the same.
True words, Lily.
Jeeez. You always shed light on the 'situation'.
Very cool.
Ramon
Glad I seem to be 'getting' where you're coming from. Sometimes I think I'm way off base.
As I was about to say
Ramon. Killer. The ending particularly. Do you think we ever get to a place where we can see?
There's no doubt in my mind.
I could do with a new pair of eyes, though.
Mine are tired looking.
Ramon
That's not what your writing is saying. Especially your poetry.
But I know how you feel. Christ I haven't slept in a week. Currently going through the most wicked insomnia.
And yes I know how it is when your body is tired, but when your soul is tired that is some thing else.
Ramon
We were all we ever needed,
when were were all we ever needed.
This is a really powerful image. Now you've just depressed me again because I have to go home to an empty house.
Many W's and E's there, Semi.
Thank you.
Karma, hey.
I was just commenting on Dolce's full stop!
Haha!
Ramon
Its cool. No matter how badly you stuffed it up with all the additional letters, its still powerful stuff.
Yeah, karma thou art a heartless bitch.
Yeowser Ramon
Never seen you like this dude. Hey, you know.....it's a mother this sort of situation. I dunno man...err.....want a beer? How's this weather we're having? Like your T-shirt.......no, really, it suits you.........
*awkward silence*
Deks.
Haha, this is funny.
It could also go down as the 'Vas-o-linest' comment of the year.
Dont you mean Arbie, Ramon
Or are you having those fantasies about Dex again?
Trust me, Semi.
Dex is my man.
no diggety,
no doubt.
Dex/Ramon
You guys are freaking me out now but if you into the brokeback thing.... hey, good for you. I would love to be a fly on the wall when you guys get together in Jhb and 'go out'...
