~*~ QUOD ME NUTRIT ME DESTRUIT ~*~


"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."

~Henry David Thoreau~


A description of myself I find to be unnecessary. What does it matter who I am on the outside? My poetry speaks for itself, and that is what I want to be seen. Interpret me as you wish. =]


"The world is full of poetry. - The air is living with its spirit; and the waves dance to the music of its melodies, and sparkle in its brightness." ~Percival

*I live to write. I will die knowing I saw true beauty*

"Words -- so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them."

-Nathaniel Hawthorne-


"If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel."

*Jim Morrison*

*Beauty lies secretly in all things. I'm here to point that out*

Art does NOT exist in commerce or fiscal opportunities, but in the blood, bones, flesh, and souls of those who seek to create it. -Otep-

A bone heals
A Bruise fades
but art is forever
-Otep

"Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those we have personality and emotion know what it means to want to escape from these things." -Emily Dickinson


"How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live" ~Henry David Thoreau

"Life and death, energy and peace, if I stop today, it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I have made and would have unmade if I could.The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul, it was worth it for having been allowed to walk where I've walked. Which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, in it and above..."  

*Gia Marie Carangi 1960-1986*

  • Temporary Death
    Insanity's filling my head / [I must be dead] / Only death could explain the illogical / unless I were to be sleeping / but sleep is temporary death. / / My brain's about to explode / from the actions we though

  • Til Death do us Part
    The knife penetrates easily, the silver blade gleaming as it delicately slides into the flesh. Blood drips from the incision pouring into a puddle of crimson rain on the floor. It was a beautiful moment, and Navaeh savored it
