Magnetic Poetry & Etc.:

I bought a magnetic poetry kit! My fridge is now completely plastered (& I am its designated driver). Sometimes I don't use the magnets at all but run to a scrap of paper and just write - these ramblings are marked by a *.
N-joy.

3/21/04*

vision takes no prisioner
fleeting moments shatter like glass
burning light behind your eyes
golden pawn of the beholder

12/05/02*

where did you go to?
i saw you next to me
your eyes glazed over
<teleportation>
the enemy is time

11/08/02*

in the winter of my life
i will wear no facade
mountain bare snow through trees
angular starved, alert and strong

(taste my tears and live forever)

10/27/02*

brave leaves dare the icy wind
scared and shivering
take me from my lofty home

____

your love coats me in a thick
sweet cream coating
surround me envelope me
around my pain-filled center

5/4/02

rob me of my dreams
I wish you'd know me
crying is too easy
with you under my skin

2/13/02

whisper into my forest
& see the storm of my dreams
I could fall into the earth
with you flooding my window

2/4/02

it could be my only gift
(often) naked but always sad
I could eat the moon
and still never see the morning

1/31/02

the music in my skin
dances frantically
& smells like snow

1/4/02

he whispers my eternity
in a delicate symphony
watching our skin
shine with elaborate beauty
we are one

i stare up at the sun
summer rusts in my blood
picture me beneath your breast
in the winter
when we found love

12/21/01*

drama queen

"give me something to write about", he said.
"i'd bring you the world if i could", i said, "but what other world is there but you?"

{{solitude bears no reply}}

12/11/01*

apathy ices me over
pale-blue-sea
paper-thin-ice
if you only knew...


12/06/01*

the darkness of prolonged innocence
tastes my hope and wishes in the shadows
if we could coexist in the same skin
would we still see the rain?


11/23/01*

fly on the frosty window
each step a bitter knife
waiting for a moment on the glass
easier to feel the constant ache of familiar pain
becoming numb and stiffened
falling to the floor
than to venture on


11/16/01*

perhaps the pain
is what attracts me
pierce my body?
better, impale my soul
pretending to value love
who is the fool?


11/8/01

he robs me of light
girls dressed to sweat
smooth skin - i want it easy
why dream crying?
to hit, pound, rip me
i sleep without him
gone
none in my vision
whispers of a man
would he live bitter?
we could love
incubate our power
worship the urges;
flood my sea


11/6/01

and i am still sad
the sky crushes me
like a knife in water

11/03/01

i recall a delicate honey-sun;
a milk-moon eternity beneath my feet-
love on his tongue felt like summer;
flooding my garden with whispers of time.


10/8/01:*

i ache as the waxing moon
growing pains
i wish to thank you for reopening my old wound
to the roaring sea
salt stings but shocks me - alive
no dream is this- my newborn pride bruised:beaten
torn between 2 worlds
afraid to try again
but so much more afraid not to
again i whisper
nothings to myself/my lover
we are now the same


9/30/01:

dress me as eternity;
incubate the sea
i breathe the goddess :
a moon petal symphony

9/28/01:

sweet shadows mother me like the rain
delicately moaning, then gone.
