monday


i love los angeles. it gets you out of the house.

there are some feelings that fill you up
that dig their roots into your skin
and never let go
they swell
and blow you over
like wind and waves

Yea!

Japan


so what if my heart's a drunk
i am seeing stars i never saw before
i am accident prone
this never takes a break
now that you're gone
i'll sleep until tomorrow
i wake up hungry
cake is hope for the hopeless
my grin wears chocolate
i am climbing over my wall
for you
not changing my mind
i like the outfit
when i look up from my bed
i can see your little pieces of magic all over my ceiling
goodnight

Light splashed this morning
on the shell-pink anemones
swaying on their tall stems;
down blue-spiked veronica
light flowed in rivulets
over the humps of the honeybees;
this morning I saw light kiss
the silk of the roses
in their second flowering,
my late bloomers,
flushed with their brandy.
A curious gladness shook me...

I can scarcely wait till tomorrow
when a new life begins for me,
as it does each day,
as it does each day.

Check List

Ideas

no wonder.

I guess everyone has their reasons for keeping people away.

Desire


yep

love your chaos



We all want the happily ever afters. The perfect proposal, the confetti, the fireworks, the fairy-tale endings, growing old together in a little country cottage with roses in the garden. The love at first sight that runs without a hitch.

But I think that we all want the sweeping tragedy of love, too. The longing and the loss and the tearing apart - the strength of those feelings.
