  • Words. more. always.

    So..still writing!

     

    Maybe I'm a little freaked out again about the girl thing.  I really like her.  A lot.  But she scared me last night.  Because she said the L word.  And not the tv show.  And I just looked at her.  Because holy shit.  I'm not prepared for that.  Ever.  Color me bitter, color me jaded...just don't color me commited.  yikes.

    (p.s.  yes, Autmn, I know I sound like a jerk right there, but you know what I mean..)

     

    So..writing.  new one.  I kind of like it.  But I don't wanna hear any rainbow jokes..got it? 

     

    Smeared Rainbow

    Midnight eats dawn in the early hours of lonely,
    Swallowed dreams, dust clung to ruby throat.
    Shifts slightly- With ease, into nightmares, sharp and tender.

    Air is a whispered memory, choked down cold
    Between fast paced years, and faster draws.
    Slaughtering the patched-worked clock
    Checked in quarters, to force feed
    Tinkling shards of idealic human will.

    I suck on the seconds, writhe in the eclipsed moments,
    While barren limbs overlap minutes and lines.
    Yet, there are times
    When breath breaks the barriers
    Of silent kaleidoscope screams
    Ridden in unaccounted, slick color.

    And I suffocate on rainbows.
    Wallowing, unintentionally
    As they python around my swollen pulse.
    Blurred smear of paint squeezed down
    Half hazard/full scale wounds
    Where reach embraces orphaned need
    With a shuddered, tasteless sigh
    Before the flinch and sprint (vs. fight and flight)-
    Leaving only a stained glass shadow
    Where my open arms used to be.

  • I've only been In Love ONCE in my entire life. I was 16 and it was with the girl of my dreams. After that, I would never allow myself to be IN LOVE again. I have loved people, but never allowed myself to be IN LOVE> When someone says the "L" word to me, it tends to freak me out a bit, too! I think you only really fall IN LOVE ONCE in your entire life and if it passes you by, I don't think it's possible to recapture it. Call me jaded or whatever, but that's my opinion. I hope it works out for you and your love interest. Who knows, maybe you can find the "L" twice in a lifetime!

  • i like the poem.

    no you don't sound like a jerk. but yeah i know what you're saying ;) have to think up some rainbow jokes for wens though :)

  • I think it was wonderful. 

  • Hope you had a wonderful day!

  • Thinking of you today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

  • haven't stopped by in a long time but here I am... no rainbow jokes from me, I understand believe me!  We are not meant to have labels slapped on, particularly not our hearts, not our spirits.  It is more important to be free to listen to one's own heartbeat, what causes the pulse to speed up or flutter, and to know the difference between a flutter of fear and that of true tender affection.

    don't let any label or militant or outside influence interfere with your own truest journey.   Hope things are well with you, HUGS
