I am free.

admin | March 27, 2003

I can write this blog because I am free.
I can say the things on my mind, even if they conflict with the government, because I am free.
Thank you, all of you military serving this nation…and thank you the families for enduring this time. These are scary times and I am thinking of all of [...]

Summer

admin | March 26, 2003

Sometimes I long for those days when you're a kid and it's summertime…all of your worries of school are on hold for what seems like a zillion years…all of your friends are free to play…the biggest stress is trying to make sure you have change with you so you don't miss the ice cream truck [...]

Heather - past tense…

admin | March 25, 2003

Life has certainly changed for me. This weekend while walking around in Greenbelt I was taking in the spring weather, the smells that warmer weather brings to a town, and the way it feels to walk around wearing a t-shirt, sans jacket. Freedom.
As I was enjoying the weather I realized that [...]

More words…deeds follow…

admin | March 21, 2003

Words and thoughts are deeds at once?
It just came out?maybe I?ve heard it before?I?m just writing my thoughts?read them?or don?t.
I am a woman
I am a mother
I am a daughter
I am a lover
I am a bad housekeeper
I am a decent cook, sometimes
I am spiritual without being religious
I am satisfied without being totally fulfilled
I am polite without [...]

words

admin | March 20, 2003

i am full of many words
they are only words
they take their shape in my mind and exit through my fingertips
you read them
they are only words, really no different than the millions of words you've read in your life, or the millions of words i've written in my life, but their arrangment and composition will [...]

Mint Cookie…

admin | March 20, 2003

You arrived in your clingy ribbed turtleneck of mint green and your black pants looking like a mint cookie. Lean and pixie-like, so young, the air of a business person with your aura of spirituality glowing all around you, delivering me a birthday hug.
Your hair still surprises me when I see you…blonde…I always see [...]

I'll swallow you…

Jupiter
by Jewel
Venus de Milo in her half-baked shell
Understood the nature of love very well
She said, “A good love is delicious, you can't enough too soon. It makes you so crazy you want to swallow the moon.”
Oh, oh Jupiter
Oh, oh be still my little heart
Oh, oh love is a flame neither timid nor tame
Take these stars [...]

Frozen Alive

admin | March 19, 2003

Have you ever felt as though you were trapped inside a frozen amber drop?things are distorted, similarly colored and you are holding your breath until your lover touches you again, melting away the hardened eons allowing you to inhale sweet breath?

BONDER BONDAGE

admin | March 19, 2003

For SOME REASON, a reader of my blog thinks when I say “bonded” or “bonder” that I am talking about BONDAGE. Listen, folks can do whateva they want, but the word bond, bonder and bonded in the context I've been using it relates to HEARTS BONDING…like a baby to its mother, like a lovers [...]

Aquarius and Leo

admin | March 19, 2003

Robert is an Aquarius…Will is a Leo. Though I don't know how traditional I am.
Actually, Jackie sends me these things and they always make me smile in some way. Today I'm very sad, but I know it will pass. I'm in one of those emo-places that fuels so much [...]

True Love Leaves No Traces

admin | March 10, 2003

True Love Leaves No Traces
by Leonard Cohen
As the mist leaves no scar
On the dark green hill
So my body leaves no scar
On you and never will
Through windows in the dark
The children come, the children go
Like arrows with no targets
Like shackles made of snow
True love leaves no traces [...]

Thank you…

admin | March 9, 2003

Thank you for…
never feeling slighted
accepting my flaws
seeing me as beautiful
wiping away my tears
soothing my worries
touching my heart…

What IS and what can never be…

admin | March 9, 2003

Sometimes things are as they are, because that is the way it must be.
***************
Uninvited by Alanis Morissette
Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hot-blooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave
But you, you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
Must be strangely exciting
To [...]

What it feels like…

admin | March 9, 2003

What it feels like…
A tiny stab…
You, the unwilling scolder…the unintentional wounder…sometimes the the little girl in me, her heart is easily stabbed…the wrong word…a slight glance askance and the wound is again fresh.

Fulfillment…

admin | March 9, 2003

Are being fulfilled and being happy the same thing?

Pap Smear 101

admin | March 8, 2003

So I go in for my pap smear?sounds lovely doesn?t it? Well, I?m in there, waiting, and snapping a few photos of myself (eventually to be shown on my photo site) realizing how many pap smear tests I?ve had since I was about sixteen years old, and how I?d share some of the experience [...]

bravely burned…

admin | March 6, 2003

My fires burn hot and high and even though you are burned by them sometimes, you would never try to extinguish my many flames because you are amazingly brave.
