Twitter, why do I consider,
feeding you thoughts that should never leave my pen,
thoughts that should never be there to begin?
perhaps to be continued...
WELCOME
..and here are a few things to keep in mind:
This blog contains mostly my poetry and a few thoughts from time to time. The thoughts will be entered when and wherever I feel necessary to keep things in proper order. Thoughts and things not belonging to me will be denoted with asterisks. Poems will be archived by the date which they were written, not by that which they were posted. I tend to update things a month or few after being written so as to keep current issues from wandering unattended around the web.
Enjoy...

“The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish.”

Southern Girl
Boots to my knees
Skirts to my thighs
A gun tucked in my left boot
A flask deep in the right

Writer
If I wrote every time I had the urge,
I'd never accomplish anything.
Maybe I should be a writer.

Effect
If you don't know how I'm feeling,
You don't know me very well.
If you have no desire to read what I say,
I tell myself you still care, just not my way.
If you don't know why I listen to what I do,
Then you've never been here before.
If my emotionless state dumbfounds you,
You don't affect me deep enough.
If you question what I say,
You're getting closer to the truth.
If I hear one more time that "it'll all be okay,"
I might show you that it's not.
You push, I pull. You pull, I push.
Nothing will ever be resolved.

At Odds
Why can I not draw cohesive lines
between who I am and what I like?
A combination of many little pieces
of many parts
of life. As a whole,
I do not properly fit anywhere.
Someday,
this combination that you so like in me,
darkness and light,
will rip me asunder.

Winter Evening
the sky is heavy and laden with snow
the fields are white and the roads dreary

Paranoia
What imagination I have often displays itself in the form of paranoia.
