           Photography                                

                       By Aaron

               As you look at me,

               take a picture of my soul, 

               capture the moment that

               we both shared in your lens, 

               and set forth for the 

               world

               to see.

               Set it forth for the world

               to read what it says, what it

               hides, what it announces,

               and as you look at me

               taking a picture of my soul,

               I feel free to know 

       you do not pass judgment on me.

        You just simply allow me   

               to be free.

               To be me

               as

               I 

               am

               As you look at me.

                             LOVE

                             By Shauntina

                        Why is it so wrong for me to love so strong?

                         

       Yes, mama, I'm young and my life has just begun.

                But what I feel is better than real.

                More real than life.

                Sharper than the sharpest knife.

                Wetter than the wettest rain

                Glamorous, prestigious and still so plain.

 

                Why is it so wrong for me to love so strong?

                Yes, mama, I'm young and my life has just begun.

  But the love I possess causes butterflies, from my stomach to my chest.

                

                Causes a flutter in my heart 

                Warm saltwater drops from my eyes

                An infectious sleep takes me to a utopia for dreaming

                Every touch is gentle, every smile is white

                      

                Every day prepares me for a warm cuddly night

                Every fear comes alive

                All possessions become shared.

                Every truth has two meanings

                Every lie fears being exposed.

                All my days I live for you until we both grow old.

                When nights are warm and days are cold.

 

                Baby it's your brown puppy eyes that make me weak

                Your warm touch that makes me quiver in speech.

                Why is it so wrong to love so strong?

                Yes, mama, I'm young and my life has just begun

                But you're the one I love

                You are the puzzle peace I need

                When my soul is hungry you are its only feed.

 

                See, mama, It ain't wrong for me to love so strong.

                Cause this love is softer than a cumulus cloud.

                Louder than a symphony, kind of loud

                Like a fantasy reality has never seen.

                Like a book revealing the steps to eternal means

                I breathe you and you are in me in everything we do

                Life can hold no greater thrill than making love with you.

An Article

   By Stacey with a little help from Meredith*

Banana peels.  Commonly seen with monkeys, slapstick comedians, and in breakfast cereals.  And here one dangles (with a half-eaten banana in it no less) from one of those "S" hooks on a tree.

How can this phenomenon of a picture be explained?  Is it a sign?  An omen?  A prophecy?  Sent by the gods to tell us to stop eating apples?

We will never know.  Unless, of course, we threaten the photographer and demand of him the methods to his madness... (not that I'd ever do that or anything.)  Until then, it is a mystery.  Sure, when we look at a picture there's the "oh, how pretty" and "ooh, what color" but there's also the "why?"  Why ever would someone feel compelled to hang a banana peel from a tree and take a picture of it?  And why does it rest there so delicately, so starkly pale against the dark tree, with the silver metal glistening in the sunlight?

We would not expect a banana peel on a tree to be a beautiful photograph, or even a sensible one, but in this case it is.  Sometimes photography can defy even the soundest prejudgment.

Especially when fruits and shrubbery are going public with an illicit love affair.
