I'll offer you my spirit torn from my [h][e][a][r][t], is it not enough? What can I give you? A n y t h i n g you ask...



Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.

Words mean more than what is set down on p-a-p-e-r. It takes the human v o i c e to infuse them with deeper meaning.

~Maya Angelou~



I shut my e y e s and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary b l a c k n e s s gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And s u n g me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

[G][o][d] topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and a l l the [w][o][r][l][d] drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your \n a m e/..
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have l-o-v-e-d a thunderbird instead;
At least when s  p  r  i  n  g comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the w.o.r.l.d drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

~Sylvia Plath~
