do you want me to tell you something really subversive? love is everything it's cracked up to be. that's why people are so cynical about it. it really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. and the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

- erica jong

i am black and desolate as desert skies at night. there is no moon, no stars, not a single candle burning, and my heart rages and screams his fury like winged death.



"suffering is the ancient law of love; there is not quest without pain; there is no lover who is not also a martyr."

- heinrich suso

this is the first album i've purchased in recent memory - and it's amazing. totally amazing - here's the lyrics to a song that touched me and my life...

crazy faith

i lit my love and watched it burn
asking nothing in return
except the lessons i will learn
by holding crazy faith

i've been touched by that bright fire
down to the root of my desire
while the smoke it rises higher
on crazy faith

you're not asking if i love this man
i know you don't, you don't believe you can
yet i've seen love open like a dancer's fan
it's crazy i know
but my faith says so, it tells me

am i a fool for hanging on?
would i be a fool to be long gone?
when is daylight going to dawn
on my crazy faith?

the questions will not let me sleep
answers buried way too deep
at the bottom of a lover's leap
made by crazy faith

you're not asking if i love this man
i know you don't, you don't believe you can
yet i've seen love open like a dancer's fan
it's crazy i know, but my faith says so
it tells me

love your losing, lose your love
let the hawk fly from the glove
then do not search the skies above
search your crazy faith

love is lightning, love is ice
it only strikes the lucky twice
once, so you will know the price
and once for crazy faith

you're not asking if i love this man
i know you don't, you don't believe you can
yet i've seen love open like a dancer's fan
it's crazy i know,
but my faith says so
