Oh, Great! Expectations…
Current mood: curious
Category: Life
Because you’re not what I would have you be
I blind myself to who, in truth, you are.
Seeking mirage where desert blooms, I mar
Your you. Love, I would like to see

Poetic thoughts from a tv show to remain nameless…
Category: Writing and Poetry
They say art imitates life. Sometimes what I watch feeds me. Sometimes it sympathizes like friends. Sometimes it acts like a mirror or photograph. Great art speaks.

A Mythical Jill
Current mood: tired
Category: Writing and Poetry
She fills the pail and scales
The dune to dump grains at the top
The demarcation can’t be seen
What she contributes looks so much like
Every other grain of sand
She descends the slope head over feet
A mythical Jill playing Sisyphus
She rises from the fall
She scoops again and [...]
