The unicorn looked at him out of dark, endless eyes, and he smiled nervously and looked at his hands. "It's a rare man who is taken for what he truly is," he said. "There is much misjudgment in the world. Now, I knew you for a unicorn when I first saw you, and I know that I am your friend. Yet you take me for a clown, or a clod, or a betrayer, and so must I be if you see me so. The magic on you is only magic and will vanish as soon as you are free, but the enchantment of error that you put on me I must wear forever in your eyes. We are not always what we seem, and hardly ever what we dream. Still I have read, or heard it sung, that unicorns when time was young, could tell the difference 'twixt the two -- the false shining and the true, the lips' laugh and the heart's rue."
~Peter S. Beagle's "The Last Unicorn"
"Well, I've been afraid of changing
Because I've built my life around you.
But time makes you bolder-
Even children get older;
I'm getting older, too."

Petite Elephant on September 2, 2006Hey Jessica,
I once again got back into this site, I love it. Anyways The saying you have under your biography is lovely. I know when you made me watch that movie with you I didn't like it at the time but there are some things about it that I don't see as dislikeable (I probably spelled that wrong.) Anyways I would love it if you read some of the new poems I have and just tell me what you think (either in person or on the site.) I think I might be getting better at the grammer and structures. I think I'm good at the part of conveying the emotions and painting the pictures I'm trying to get across (I hope atleast that, lol.) I'm going to call you soon anyways when you get off of work.
Bye for now

moonlitmirror on July 27, 2006The second part of my poem is about the northern lights--the aurora borealis. I know that you dont really live in an area where its visible, though, so its understandable that you wouldnt know =) A hurricane is a good guess, though. I guess it could apply to any outdoor occurence with light and color.
how are you lately? anything new? -
brushfire on June 10, 2006See, you say you see me at school all the time...but I honestly don't know who you are. Could you send me a pic or two?
Oh, I changed my name since we last talked. I was Noun before. You know me from the GSA group here on AP.
