Stealing my gravity
in sunlit memories
that echo through the snowstorm
like veggies in my soup.… Read the rest of this post?

Ode to Le Mental Odur’

Spirit — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 06:27:02 +0000

Dearest dark creatures who haunt my mind and wiggle their way into my stories,

I wrote you purty poem. Enjoy, you foul fragments.

Ode to Le Mental Odur’

There you stand with sword at my throat
offering mental health should my inspiration elope.

“I’ll think about it but…”

Instead to you I’ll blow a kiss
as I stand firm and sing you this:

“It sucks but…”

Rhyme
and rhyme
and rhyme again.

Through my words
I’ll shred your skin.

“Because…”

There you stand with sword at my throat

“…but all I can do is giggle…”

Because it’s your end I’ve wrote.

“Hahahaha…”

I am so weird. Don’t even ask where this came from.… Read the rest of this post?

In Firelight

Spirit — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 06:49:09 +0000

Temple moths bravedancing firelight and filtered shadows between eaves
hawk like in their rain drop world

Daring wing tips turned up against the edge of night
to slice through perfumed currents

Breaking only to rest against the home warmth
listening to the river song in their air

Strong enough to carry the universe
and gentle still to lull the dragon’s sleep

Peaceful in epic wonderment
the threads of the universe collecting in thrice silken webs

Before parting again to take flight on dust glittered wings

- To Casey for sharing his musings… Read the rest of this post?

Two Cat Agenda

Just something cute the cat wrote while sitting in my lap and borrowing my fingers. ;)

Two Cat Agenda

they tumble and bounce
fumble and pounce
fur flies
tails held high
claws out
breath like trout
gnaw and bite
dance and fight
eat fur
then nap
and purr

- For Tommy and Gabe -

- … you little brats …-

Gone

Spirit — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 11:03:51 +0000

Wrote this on the way to work while I was trying to wake up. I kept having some train of thought or another and it kept going -poof!- … but even thought I kept losing my thoughts I knew I was losing them. I’d be sitting there going ‘now what was I thinking about…’ but I’d never get it back. :)

I think as far as some of my longer poetry goes I’ve completely given up on punctuation. At least for the time being. It’s distracting and tend to pull me from the meaning between words. Also, I can’t seem to pick a title for this so for now I’ll settle on…

Gone

lost thoughts swimming strange
through murky waters
listlessly
broken echos drift
between walls intangible
slipping away
left open
a gaping hole
wondering
what was

And another little bit, because the rhyme-monger in me just cant seem to help it, that I came up with while at work is:

over fire – under thunder
prey of shadows – sewn asunder
- humanity -

It reminds me of a little riddle or something one of my characters might toy with on and off. :)
