This is my heart on a screen
For everyone to see
I'm opening the door
Not locked up anymore


I can't really be a judge of whether my poetry is any good or not, I only know what it means to me. But I hope you enjoy some of it. And if the first one you read is just awful, please give me another shot and read one more!



"I do love no one in the world so much as you--Is not that strange?"
-- Much Ado About Nothing


"I myself am often surprised at life's little quirks."
-- The Princess Bride


"But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
Have no fear, you are worth more than many sparrows."
-- Luke 12:7



Favorite Lines from Songs These Days:

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
Then try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick into some -
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again...

--"On The Radio", Regina Spektor

    I followed your words here from a comment you left on a written piece called simply...RED. My first reaction to your background page was that of AHHHHHH !! As an artist I found comfort, a sense of home and understanding in a picture. Molded by the rawness of ones hands, the simplicity of candlelight, I felt it must speak of the artist who resides here. Clay figures molded by an artists hands, forever frozen the expression of love, the poet to molding his words, expressing the deepest love he holds, every changing !

    Namaste'

    I've come to adore you comments, my own drug, my prozac. Give me more! I always want to hear your opinion on my work. So when you have a few spare moments, check out some of the poems in my list "newbies & favorites" which is on my author page. but if you can only read one, i hope you choose "A Stone". I rather like it, and I'm hoping you will too.

    Howdy! It's been quite some time since I stopped by. . . This year has been crazy. . . this year was so much reading of text books and cumpulsory novels that I had virtually no reading time in the fall. . . And what little time I did have, I was so bloody sick of reading I went on a writing frenzy instead. . . lol, Dudette I miss reading your work. . . I see you have changed up the home page a little. Smashing good, smashing good Sorry it took so long to respond to your piece "When I have Nothing Else" I got kind of side tracked. . . and it's funny. . . I actually forgot what the title was and thought oh well I'll just read something for the heck of it, lol. . . and then I went back to your reccomendation you gave me on your "The Tainted Tadpole", lol. . . wouldn't you know it? It just happened to be the one that caught my eye lol. Your growth as a writer truly does show. "When I have nothing else" is much more polished than "The Tainted Tadpole" - but each has its own value - each has its own tale of reality. . . of truth, and of life.
