Fire [Jun. 10th, 2009|03:09 pm]
Five o’ clock and a fire escape symphony 
Spilling out across the road and the square
And the sky’s the same as your own, do you think of me?
It's a fire, it's a fire, I cannot put out

Remember the forgotten - there is nothing sadder than a wasted life, a sacrifice, unknown to anyone else.

WHERE'D YOU GO [May. 25th, 2009|12:13 am]
On account of my transgression / will you welcome this confession?
The truth is I never wanted you to go. You were so imperfect, flawed beyond flawed, what else was there to do? I was busy, so were you, we had our own lives, you wanted more than I could give. You were hers, always hers, and I could never bring myself to take that away. 2008 was crazy, I think I should've seen the signs but what the hell, why did you leave me?

"If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is."

- Charles Bukowski, Factotum

finally, closure [Apr. 18th, 2009|06:08 pm]


You are the World


Completion, Good Reward.


The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion.


The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgements. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right.

elephants [Apr. 17th, 2009|03:44 pm]
"If the elephants have past lives
Yet are destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream
Like you and I
They must have some temper

And I am dreaming
of them with their kill
Tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips
Teeth sinking into
Heart"

my all-time favourite poem [Feb. 20th, 2009|09:10 pm]
Crab

Late at night we wrench open a crab;
flesh bursts out of its cup

in pastel colours. The dark fronds attract me;
Poison, you say, Dead Men's Fingers-

don't put them in your mouth, stop!
They brush over my tongue, limp and mossy,

until you snatch them from me, as you snatch
yourself, gently, if I come too close.

Here are the permitted parts of the crab,
wholesome on their nests of lettuce

and we are safe again in words.
All day the kitchen will smell of sea.

Fleur Adcock

TAROT CARDS [Oct. 5th, 2008|07:59 pm]
[Current Mood | artistic]



You are Temperance


Time. Ages. Transformation. Involuntary change


Temperance is another card of aspiration, but also of much change. It often
represents complex situations. Positively, you can harmonize contrary
forces.


Temperance is, on a surface level, about "tempering." The original pouring from cup to cup might have been about cutting wine with water. So this is a card about moderation. There is, however, another angle to the card, that of merging seemingly impossible opposites. Sagittarius, the centaur, merges beast and man into a unique creature. And then there is the bow and arrow, one moving, one stationary, working together to point the way. Temperance may be, at first glance, a warning for you to "temper" your behavior, to cut your wine with water. But it may also be a reminder to that seemingly irreconcilable opposites may not be irreconcilable at all. Belief that fiery red and watery blue cannot be merged may be the only thing standing in the way of blending the two. Change the belief, measure out each with care, and you can create otherworldly violet.

romance in four parts [Sep. 29th, 2008|08:56 pm]
Find me in a hollow tree
Layers of white so
Incandescently
brilliant

And should these leaves turn
vermilion
Locate my presence,
Spot my Dr. Martens
Hidden beneath the crisp layers of
Crimsons and coppers

Search for me, if you will
Amidst reds and blues 
and pastel hues
Perhaps you could pick a
Flower,
or two,
for me, just for me
and Maybe, you will find me

Meet you in the lower deck
of our cabin cruise
Write me a sonnet, and
Liken me to a fine Summer's day,
won't you?
Bask with me
in the unmistakable scent
hanging in the warm air
of
first
love
/ (s)

why do we do this to ourselves?

WITH HIDDEN MEANINGS [Sep. 12th, 2008|09:33 pm]
[Current Mood | cheerful]

"Think of a car driving through the night. The headlights only go a hundred or two hundred feet forward, and you can make it all the way from California to New York driving through the dark, because all you have to see is the next two hundred feet. And that's how life tends to unfold before us. If we just trust that the next two hundred feet will unfold after that, and the next two hundred feet will unfold after that, your life will keep unfolding. And it will eventually get you to the destination of whatever it is you truly want, because you want it."
- The Secret

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they go right, you believe less so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall into place" - Unknown
