Go jerk yourself a soda. —Annette Benning, Bugsy

[Lady Jewel]

Its a love that was never meant to be.
They were from two worlds.
So different, yet the same.
She called to me in this disembodied voice.
So strange and yet familiar.
She reached out to me as if it were nothing.
But we both knew the truth.
Not free to love me.
Yet, she wanted to own me.
She felt like home to me.
But I was still homeless.
I told her that loving her would be like a small death to me.
And yet, that was the only thing that would free us both.
Everytime she spoke, it was like her words were fire.
Heat. Passion. That only she could extinguish.
She stirred something in me that I never knew existed.
I begged her not to laugh at my proclamations of love and desire for her.
She said she hadnt. She said we shared the same thoughts.
"Wait, be patient", she said. I told her I would wait for her forever.
I'm still waiting.

~Me

[violaine]

now let us play hide and seek. should you hide in my heart it would not be difficult to find you. but should you hide behind your own shell, then it would be useless for anyone to seek you-

every seed is longing-

strange, the desire for certain pleasures is a part of my pain-

trees are poems that the earh writes upon the sky. we fell them down and turn them into paper that we may record our emptiness-
