Charles Bukowski

My Dear Love;
Charles Bukowski
A Terrible Need:
Some people simply search out unhappiness,
they'll scrounge it out in any given situation
taking any whim
any simple error
and then becoming hateful
vengeful.
don't they realize that
there's so little time?
and to mutilate it like this....
there's never
ever
any way
to recover
all that was
WASTED


There is enough treachery, hatred, violence
Absurdity in the average human being
To supply any given army on any given day.
And the best at murder are those who preach against it.
And the best at hate are those who preach love
And the best at war - finally - are those who preach peace

  1. That makes total sense, though doesn't it? Was he one of the beat poets?

  3. Hi,

    its is nice to read this meditation about your muse for Charles Bukowski. It is true about the black and the gray, and the tan and the blue, and the mere horizontal and vertical emotion of life. For I feel grateful for it today, and this post made me, well it inspired me to appreciate and feel love for you my friend....
