i guess i'll slip that
into a dusty crater
on the dark side of the moon
where the Lordship of
disposable thought
lives

violin sets the mood
mood honey 'slow like honey'
fiona apple knows
yeah orchestral with angst
'black tangled heart' and silverchair
are two of my favourite things
they embrace my loud mouthed injury
help me elevate, pump me with eyes
to see how much they aid me
grow me up
'the drugs don't work'
the verve know
but oh how they numb
dull the pain, get me all
illusionist and ...wow
fuck my music
sounds good
YES
so somehow
toe capped boots
or barefeet
we make it through
reality WOW
no stopping in hell, oh no
no, no motel stopper here
NO
sorry my hurt makes you hurt too
gonna keep on drivin'
get into top gear,
hope my fuel pump
doesn't decide to shebang
cruise the road
take in the scenery for a
little while, let the wind
play with my hair, like
i always wanted him to..

You covered your eyes
I couldn't see you
Commas in the sky
What a warm ride
Open the window
It's stifling in here
The stairwell said come
With a saxophone entrance

Stars under your fingernails
Paint me gold
Paint me red
Use black sparingly
Throw out the spare blues
Lock in the jack-in-the-box

The Barbie dolls painted signs
In new shimmer gloss
'Give me money, I am pretty'

Wolves with lamb-fur lined coats
Standing on owl's heads
To get to the stars
Paint your own
When your eyes get brighter
The temple lights are glowing

Let's drink absinthe in Paris
And call into freak shows
I hear women boxers
Wear boas sewn by men
And paint their nails
With images of bugs

Perfectly incomplete
Bizarre at the uncanny café
Where coffee is a welcome sign
And your company fills my afternoon

Could you hold a sprig of blossom
Without dying from the beauty?
For every death we gain a life

Tap the sides; open flow
The page is in strips
Paper promises
Turn a leaf
I am around the corner

we gave over the key

August 6th 2008 06:49

do we saturate our minds with information to the point where we don't notice that the things we need are slipping through the cracks and we slump about in boredom when there are so many things to do we just don't want to do the things that we need to do so we can stop our bitching and moaning and longing for happiness we choose to sit in these prisons to rot and we holler and scream about being in this god forsaken place we gave ourselves up to the jailer by not saying anything.....we gave over the key.....and asked for tv we kept it all inside and everyone goes wow when they hear our primal screaming when we couldn't take it no more and it bursts wild out from us like lava how often do I have to tell you that you cannot swing sway me into believing that you are so god-damned special and apart from the rest of us in this human race the world is on overload wearing crowns of shady wishes but we all each and everyone of us has to swallow that big fat shush everything will be ok pill to partake in the big lie when we soul know it isn't ok and for fucks sake stop moving around like you're on your own planet like you're not seeing people and trying to walk right through them you're walking smack into them and setting their houses off balance let us dine on the past no don't tell me anything new not even the truth my mind is a snake tonight and I cannot resolve myself to believing anything

You know, each lightning bolt is a universe, she said. No two are alike. Electricity began to permeate everything and everybody, and all the trees applauded, some even got up off their knees and begun to tug themselves out of the earth. It was the hour they had all been waiting for, as thunder played a scene from the final opera, and birds all over the world started to dream of forming words and sending them to mute men. Rain cleansed the mountain; baptising flowers in songs of freedom. It was all that she could have wished for, especially when the mimes of angels could finally be heard.

With a long ribbon
It streams out behind me

Nature has a coating that can’t be seen from afar, like a cats tongue or a leaf, or our skin. This is where the wheels of the Caravan start to yearn for release from the sodden earth. Oiled and resting, it is time to take to the open road. I saw dark clouds in last night’s fire, which always means a call for moving. Some have said it was smoke that I saw, just the burn off from the fire break. My blood is restless; travelling, and I have taken to packing, the fires are expected anyway. My eyes search darkening skies for a skyhook, and the heads of the Gypsy Vanners are low. Our songs and dances have shaved a slice off the moon. Onward, forward, our beginnings safely tucked away in the caravan of memories, onward forward. Clip clop.

you're a wonderful soul taking the time to share your own personal walk with me, thank you Lilla.. i know one thing and one thing only, i'm at a crossroad, doors in the fog, with many tears falling (i won't take anti-d's either, we MUST cry, and laugh (and feel, those pills take away my feelings, i'd rather have them?)). i told my daughter last night, acceptance is the key to so many things, eat my own words....again

shopping never ends does it? these kids just keep eating!!! lol

have a wonder-full day Lilla..

Too clear that not all disabilities are physical.

made me so happy to read that your daughter proved them ALL wrong Lilla, makes me smile no end good for her,bless her little determined heart.. children never cease to amaze and teach me...

the part i quoted of yours, has haunted me this afternoon... depression; no one sees it, i'm tired of trying to explain my lack of 'gumption' you know? if i medicate? it's to escape the pain, noone can understand that, unless they are me..

two bobs worth, worth deleting?

love and a soldier's wave..

is this a trick question?

the way the question is put, my mind bends towards the disabled person being better off.. and perhaps they are

I saw a doco on teev about a man who had no arms and no legs. he spends his life motivating others to LIVE, no matter what. i was so encouraged by this man who probably lives more life in one day than i do in a year.

anyway, hope this sunnee satdee morning finds you well l i l l a
