Who Needs A Stress Test When They Live In A Madhouse?
Thursday, September 4, 2008 |
The general atmosphere here is one of pure chaos. The kittens, those sweet, heartbreakingly adorable little bundles of fur have sprouted long legs, and propelled themselves into the realm of fur-demons. My two males, neutered last month, are like many other middle aged men. They have a willing little nympho kitty who is in heat,and they are gang ban...1 Recommendation

I had a happy time for four days or so. Loved the home cooked meals seeing that I eat out of a restaurant or rarely at times a microwave dinner. I am trying to change my ways but to tell you the truth I don't know if I have the discipline as everyone else did.

Hands and words are not so different when you look at their functions. A warm hand can touch a cheek, and reach a heart. A warm word does the same by touching an ear. A cold word can freeze a dream more quickly than an angry slap in the face, leaving no trace, unless you see the shadow of mourning for some spark lost beyond reclaimation. A strong word, f...3 Recommendations8 Comments -

How many layers to the core of the soul? Do we grow outward, in rings like a mighty oak, or in fragile fibres like a blade of grass. Can we ever find the single strand which defines us, motivates all of our choices and movements? Has anyone ever gotten that deep into themselves?

The coals lie black and cold,
in the hearth untended,
like pieces of a broken heart,
and shattered dreams,
left unmended.
Gasoline tears
soak the kindling of hope,
anger the match to light,
fire within the spirit,
once again,
burning bright.
Steel is tempered
by hot and cold
passions ebb and flow,
bodies tire and grow old,
The time of the fire is now,
gentle rains for another day.
For now I need the fire

Yesterday Dies
Embers crackle against the silence,
reminding of dreams recently deceased.
Blood pounds in the ears, anxious and uncertain,
as the Old Gods remain unappeased.
Darkness swirls like smoke,
dimming a once rosy view to blushing gray.
The present and the past are gone,
and the idea of reality ebbs away.
Material things still exist
at least what one can fit in a small carryall.

When Love Is The Mirror a poem
Tuesday, April 15, 2008 |
When love is the mirror
it is not the face which is seen
It is the flow of goodness,
the promise of tomorrow,
the realization
of dreams which are
shared between
two hearts newly opened.
When love is the mirror
fears slowly subside
Nightmares become
winged horses of passion
on which lovers,
joined in ecstasy's embrace,
find themselves astride,
as heartbeats thunder.
When love is the mirror,

He asks for nothing. His demeanor is humble, unassuming, stoic, even. His face is forgetable, with no ravishing beauty, or grotesque ugliness to set it apart. He blends in. One would not be likely to notice him, or remember seeing him. Maybe this is why he has made an impression on me. Sometimes, the simple lack of posturing amid ...1 Recommendation1 Comment -

Suffering by Fibrosurvivor2—Nikki
Suffering is a chore
A challenge
A force to be reckoned with
It is hard to explain
The pain that I feel
The aches
The sharp spikes of unbelievable discomfort
I cannot imagine
Living this way forever
It seem unfathomable
Unbelievable it so many ways
I wish that others could see
Could understand that I am normal too
I just have some challenges
Hard to handle
But their he...1 Recommendation1 Comment -

I say to myself
when I wake up
in the middle of the night
in an unbearable fright.
I am O.K.
I say to myself
you are not in your home
but you are not on the street
and you know you are not alone
so don't cry "defeat!"
I am O.K.
I am doing what I can

and a fire
and a dead pet and an unproductive cough
that came from nowhere
with a series of bad memories
