If there is one thing I've learned: you can't make someone love you. It is impossible! and especially when they themselves don't know what they want! I'm afraid I can't let people figure themselves out at the cost of my heart anymore. I need someone who knows that what they want is me. period.
Ah well. I don't seem to have a lot of luck in the love ( Read more... )

 
My heart’s a shudder behind yours- a tremble and a shake from failing altogether. I lie against your smooth skin and listen to your heart, nestled as it is between ribs I’ve counted in the dark as my nipples brushed up and down them.  There’s a miracle in every beat, every wet suck at the air a blessing.  And the greatest miracle- your aching ( Read more... )

Such a curious thing to hold so much emotion ( Read more... )

It takes some steel to wake up, look into the mirror and see myself. It takes some small amount of courage to brave the day, to speak what I think, to feel as much as I do, to blast out everything I stand for. It takes a fleshing out of vision to suit myself in ideals, to armor myself with a cause I feel so strongly for, to bear the brunt of its ( Read more... )

Amazingly it has been more than a year since I have written here. Things have changed, I am now married. I am back in school. I am not as young as I used to be. But that is the way of things. Looking back at all i have written here it is amusing to recognize the naiveity and innocence of my posting. I've learned alot. I moved out on my own, then ( Read more... )

The water is plate glass, smooth, unwrinkled, full of distorted reflectons. Your face is hovering close by, and like a Narcissus, you watch, you stare, you become enthralled with the dark reflection ( Read more... )
