Aghori

Stars open among the lilies,

Are you not blinded by such expressionless sirens?

This is the silence of astounded souls,

To express to you in mere words, 

Our personal feelings on this occasion, 

You must know to be impossible, 

And particularly so for one who normally has to describe only things outside himself. 

In a world of physical ease, brutal social equality, and reasonable economic equality, 

Exclusiveness in frivolity becomes the most sought-after of all distinctions,

All these nights would stretch on and on and on, 

And she would fall asleep in my arms with all my darkness and all my demons and all my ugliness stored safely in her heart,

In a perfect world, she would hold it there, away from me, so she could understand me better, so I would never be harmed again. 

Do the right thing by whoever crosses your path,

Those coincidental people are your people,

Life is beautiful not because it is always so joyful,

But because desire, hope, and expectation make it so wonderful. 

I had ballooned out to close to 400 pounds at one point,

And in the '80s, we were just beginning to get on video and disco, so, therefore, I did not fit in, and my record company let me go because they said, 'look, you're just not marketable enough with the weight problem,

Good grief, fury, warn me if you're going to jump in here naked. 

A boss wants to pay for results, an employee wants recognition for effort, if a boss recognizes effort, they will get even better results,

I'm in great shape, back-in-my-football-days shape,

I've worked hard to get to this point,

It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, 

But it is a disaster to have no idea to capture,

'Power' is an explosive word, particularly when applied to women. 

In fact, we take much better care of our smartphones than ourselves,

Whenever there is fear, there is an opportunity,

When there is great fear, there is a great opportunity,

Greed and avarice have clouded their judgment, 

Canadians complain too much. 'I like seasons.' so do I; that's why I live in a place that skips the [unpleasant] ones. 

The wealthiest man among us is the best,

There is a kind of euphoria of grief, a degree of madness,

Our history is a material history, 

Not just a succession of thoughts or speech acts,

Wait a while; there will come to your mounts, 

Carrying lions in shining armour, battalions followed by battalions, 

Learn from the past and let it go,

Live in today. Ballet is the body rising, 

Ballet is ceremonial and hieratic,

Its disdain for the commonplace material world is the source of its authority and glamour.
