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.”

Sweetness

Sweetness is so very sweet,
Yet, it sometimes has such a bitter taste.
It hands you the world,
...and on a silver platter at that.
But I never wanted this treatment,
I wanted to earn the world
on my own accord.

Sweetness treats you so very well,
as though you are fragile
...in every aspect of this world.
Sweetness looks up to you
from down below your pedestal.

Sweetness is so sweet,
...so sweetly sickening,
like devouring to many sweet chocolates
in such a short time.
