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.”

Almost Ready

Alright.
Almost done.
Ready.
For you.
For us.
Forever.



Back to monotony?
No.
We're better.
Right?
We can do this.
Right?
Keep some excitement.
Have some fun.

i miss you

i miss you.
and i dont know what to do.

i dont mean physically.
i mean mentally and emotionally.

you and i are not close anymore.
what happened, where did it go?

did i leave?
or did you just not care?

i miss you.
this isn't what i want.

i've tried to satisfy myself elsewhere
i miss your brain. i miss you.

i've been stupid.
will you forgive me?

i've been stupid.
that doesn't bring you any closer.

i dont want all of this.
i want you. i miss you.

Mr. Business Man

Dear sir across from me in Panera
you look very stressed
in your suit and tie
staring at your laptop
with that saddened face.

I see you wear a wedding ring
perhaps, you should spend more time
     with her.

Have you ever considered,
a new job?
gotta play to win?
do you ever play, just
     to play?

Simply Put

vagueness is safety.

dirty things

we all have our share of dirty things shoved back in dark corners
pouring myself full of liquid drug, loud music, and metal
because i cannot adequately feel anything

New Job

New job coming.
Starting a career.
Four dollar raise.
Newer laptop.
Half of a cube.
My own computer.
I'm almost a real person . . .

Warm Stone, Bare Feet

Warm stone.
Cool on bare feet.
Waning sun,
scattered across my face.
Purring feline,
fuzzy on my skin.

Sensations abound.
Sit and soak.
Close my eyes.
Listen.

Spring

I love the weather currently.
Warmishly chilly
Slightly breezy
Things growing
Birds doing ... bird things

Please, let me stay
Outside.

Reactionary

I am a reactionary.
I do what gets a rise out of you.

I touch you not because
I like touch
I touch you
because it makes you

Makes you happy
Makes you do things
Makes you do stupid things =)
