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.”

I'm Not What You Want

Things tend to end how they began.
I'm sure this will be the same.
Slowly, cautiously, lots of thought on your part,
Very little on mine.
Desperation and Apathy. Longing, and
Not giving a [care].

I'm not what you want.
I don't want a serious relationship
I'm not ready for commitment just yet,
And I'm not into 'puppy love.'
I'm really not what you want.
I don't like to be touched,
I don't trust,
No, I won't kiss you
- My kisses are special,
- And so am I.
I know it; you better know it.
Respect me, pay attention to me,
Don't worship me, Don't touch me!

You care about me.
I care about your feelings.
You flutter as you touch me,
I cringe as I am touched.

You think you can explain it...
I don't want you to; just listen.
