Tie me to your wrist
with a paper kiss.
Elation
the taste of parchment
Wet ink
Indian blue
flowing through
The morning
is burning holes in history
wisping smoke
a coiling pause in conversation
When do you think?
Watching the words leave you
butterfly wing
fragile beating
lifting them into the bright of a
stunning day
to dip and sway
over daisies
lifting above
standard roses winding
in non-standard ways
And I honestly don't know
so I let resistance go
and watch you tie off
the kisses on my wrist.
You pull the two sides tight
the cut
runs into
around
within
and without.
Skin parting beneath
your gentle pressure
Letting the sun in.

You're certainly writing many gorgeous things at the moment.
I seem to have dried up completely. It always makes me tense and edgy when I haven't written anything for a while.
It's been freezing here, but a little warmer today.
How are ya?
oh and who on earth is Bill Hicks?
If you want I can
A.Give you a line to start with
or
B. Write something as a starter and you can follow on, or we can collab if ya want, just to get the flow going
let me know.
I'm ok...ish...another important male figure in my life has contracted a terminal illness so Im dealing
Bill Hicks, raw edged American comedian who really let fly on political religious and media issues, died of cancer back in 1994 I think it was. He was an amazing orator though, just such a wonderful sense of the absurd,foul mouth, but brilliant.
If you have a p to p , download some of his skits, you will find them interesting I think kid.
yeah, give me a line or a topic or something, good idea.
hmm ... ok. maybe I do vaguely remember seeing him on TV sometime.
What's a p to p?
peer to peer file sharing
Kazaar
limewire, stuff like that, you download the software, install it, and then you can share and receive music, video etc
As for the line :)
something to awaken the Moon
Steal the scent from my skin

There is no resolution

or
Cast off
this dishevelled shell
of fragmented thought

lol, look at my daily Om for today:
Permission To Simply Be
Working Through Transitions:
The elation we feel when we have learned an important lesson, achieved a goal, or had a big breakthrough can sometimes be met with a period of downtime afterward. During this period of transition, we may feel unsure and not know where to turn next. Many people, during the pause between achievements, begin to wonder what their life is about. These feelings are common and strike everyone from time to time. Human beings are active creatures-we feel best when we are working on a project or vigorously pursuing a goal. But there is nothing inherently wrong with spending a day, a week, or even a month simply existing and not having a plan. Just be. It won't be long before you embark upon your next voyage of growth and discovery.
The quiet lull into we which we fall between ideas, projects, and goals can make life seem empty. After accomplishing one objective, you may want to move immediately on to the next. However, when your next step is unclear, you may feel frustrated, disconnected, or even a mild depression. You may even perceive your lack of forward momentum as an indicator of imminent stagnation. To calm these distressing thoughts, try to accept that if your intent is personal growth, you will continue to grow as an individual whether striving for a specific objective or not. Spending time immersed in life's rigors and pleasures can be a cathartic experience that gives you the time you need to think about what you have recently gone through and leisurely contemplate what you wish to do next. You may also find that in simply being and going through the motions of everyday life, you reconnect with your priorities in a very organic, unforced way.
The mindful transitional pause can take many forms. For some, it can be a period of reflection that helps them understand how their life has unfolded. For others, it can be a period of adjustment, where new values based on recent changes are integrated into daily life. Just because you're not headed swiftly to a final destination doesn't mean you should assume that you have lost your drive. The stage between journeys can become a wonderful period of relaxation that prepares you for the path that will soon be revealed to you.
Notice the second word in?? Another spooky coincidence do you think?
Oh, by the way, I ran into my professor at uni on Wednesday and he told me the marks for our essays weren't finalised yet but that I definitely got an A of some sort. Yay! Cool eh?
Thanks for the starters for ten. I'll see what I can do *smile*
It does all make sense, that essay was a huge drain on your resources, took a lot of energy to make, and it was a major achievement when you completed it, so maybe this sort of flat period is just a natural time for you to recharge and reconnect with your world.
Elation
*grin*
Im never surprised by your
coincidences anymore lol
okay, here is my attempt:
Triplicate
As for the third,
try not to anticipate
which face of fortune's cube
will tumble next.
Spectres of memory flicker
from windows and mirrors as you pass,
slide over chrome bumpers and door handles.
Glimpses of what was, or what may be.
Kiss the hem of her gown
and future will glide into fresh
and reassuring patterns.
Something to awaken the moon,
fragmented shells of half-formed wishes
moulded into an orb where all your past
coalesces into the birth of now.
ugh! 'Triplicate' is supposed to be a line up. It's the title!
Bloody message boxes.
And the last line isn't supposed to be separated like that, lol.
I have to go to work now. Have a good weekend.
Hope it's not too freezing over there. It's been brutal here.
