Unexpectedly

words conjure images
imagine these if you will

i am flying to the west coast to meet him
he intrigues me

if he only knew of the power he has over me
how i will do anything he asks
anything he wants

trouble is
he does know
careful girl, is that ice i hear cracking

no quarter asked
and none given

Colours and what they impart

Think of the unlikihood of the following:

Green lies
a blue heart full of sin
black valentines
purple nippled breasts
yellow the colour of blood.

A night pink as ink
a grey cheese moon
the healthy orange skin of an excited child's face
white and black as the colours of Xmas.

Odd isn't it that we expect certain things to be certain colours and our mind rebels at the thought of a variation. We can't comprehend things being colours they should not, something would be wrong and we would be tempted to take up paint brushes to make the necessary changes.
Some things our mind can accept and others it cannot.

Simplicity

There is much to be said
for keeping it between the lines
or within four walls
or within the confines of my skull.

Some things just do better with boundaries
or fences.

thoughts

yeah i did
and so what

i also thought about a few other things
like hitting the concrete at ninety
the slowed down time delay before the hollow pumpkin exploding sound
of how stunning the wild roses looked
how long a white-capped wave was
how blue the mountains looked and what it once meant
whether id get there in time
about my little girl and how she would look in that hospital bed
about all those that cared and those that didnt
about hitting a logging truck on a blind curve
the way the dust rolls out behind the pick-up
the smell of freshly mowed lawn
and how green this jungle i live in is
how many islands i can see at one time when im in the mountains
and how i am truly one of the luckiest sob's alive to be able to think of this
and not another soul alive knows it
well maybe one, but that doesnt count
for obvious reasons

Is she only a toy?

Her friend Becky said she was
you only have to look at how he treats you
youre a toy or at most a poodle
if you arent trained you are at least amusing

i dont know she replied
maybe theres something more
maybe he is testing me
maybe
just maybe
he loves me

dont count on it girl
there is a big wind-up thingy
sticking out of your back for a reason

Enough time to agree

His words seemed false
how could they be
anything but

suggesting that the next muse
would be as sweet
and as forgettable as the last

my mind rebelled
against them both
image and idea

but later now and so much wiser
the words full circle haunt
i bow my head
and aquiesce

right again it seems

Trying to be

Sorry that was a case of mistaken identity on your behalf

of course i read the comment
and only alluded to it
to say it wasn't i

that wasn't what you wanted to answer to be
but you came to the right conclusion
for the wrong reason

i am many things
but one thing i have never claimed to be

is GOOD for you

i used to have a disclaimer to that effect on my profile
i think i was asked to remove it
perhaps a mistake
perhaps not

i don't like misconceptions
regarding what i have or have not done
if i've done it
i'll say so
if i haven't
i'll tell you that too

i don't and won't pretend
mj sends his regrets

It will only take two minutes

yes, of course i said
and paris hilton doesnt crave attention
the pope isnt catholic
and i never fart in bed

need any more fiction than that?

If You Had Read It

If you had read the simple seven points
they you would know
far more about me
than everything else that you knew to date

Perhaps you did
Perhaps you did not
and either way it doesn't matter

Your feelings, my feelings, our feelings
cold and grey as dead ashes
to keep them that way
no water need be added
it need simply flow under the bridge of life

one extinguished in exchange for another to grow
its the balance of nature
the only religion that none have quarrel with.

Odd how we don't change
we only hide the self inside
and show the parts
they want to see.
