My head is going crazy with thoughts about you
I hope you're not picking up on my mixed signals
Yours are clear enough - or so I think
I must be careful, can't let you become another one,
Another causality of my independence
You intrigue me, though, and pique my mind.
You fascinate me thoroughly and make me wonder...
I would like to sit and talk with you,
Some evening, perhaps all night
This must stay simple and innocent
The chatting, the charm (of newness)
Perhaps we should have a drink some time
...Should I mention?
You appeared in my dream last night.
I don't remember most of it, but
You did have a full back tattoo.
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...

Alanis Morissette
alanis morissette makes me feel better about life
gives me hope that comes and goes
i see we've all made the same mistakes
looked in the wrong places for the right things
lost people who were suppose to care

so dangerous, so lovely
so dangerous
so lovely
i want to touch you, hold you.
so dangerous
so lovely
i want to be the one next to you
i want to take your hand and know it'll be okay
so dangerous
so lovely
the things that are not allowed
should not be alone
you're so dangerous
because we're so lovely
so lovely
i want to touch you, hold you.

Ghost from Years Past
It caught me so off guard
because it didn't just 'happen'
it was a ghost from the past
reappearing to make me question
all I believe in and hold dear

Taken
I need to leave you alone
I cannot have you
because I, myself, have been had
It doesn't stop the feelings I have
Doesn't stop the complication
...I mean interestingness.
I have already sloshed your life around
enough as it is.
Me, a taken girl, should be sure
to not lead you on
(however much I'd like to).
I would hate to be the one
to make you miss another opportunity.

Right. So...
Maybe I shouldn't tell you,
let you find if you wish.
Humor me though,
because I want you to know.

Enjoy the Silence
Adorable and fascinating.
Now you know.
Knowledge can be dangerous.
We must be cautious.
Are you reading this?
I know now.
And we know what knowledge can be.
Knowledge revealed in the silence
(with no violence) via chat.

No Private Thoughts
Not private thoughts. No.
That is not allowed.
Tell the world,
broadcast your every pondering
Post it as a status
Post it in under 140
Post it to a blog
Encouragement to no longer have private lives
Everything you do is everyone else's business
Stay out of my life.
That is not allowed.

Stabilize
Stabilize.
Stabilize.
Not Stable.
Wobble furiously left and right.
Stabilize.
Stabilize.
Feel it now.
