if I kiss you where it's sore, will you feel better?

There's a few of you right now that I really wish I was on the same continent as. Because I would, right now, make the trip from Canada to come visit you for a couple days because it sounds to me like you need someone THERE. I would hug you tight, kiss your cheek, and tell you "stop it, stop hurting yourself. You are wonderful! I love you!"

Because you are. And I do.


So stop it, please. Life is suffering, I understand that, but you don't have to let it effect you so badly. Or you'll end up like I used to be. And that's not something I'd wish on anyone.




You know how to find me.

show your love

EARTH HOUR

Yes, it is a big deal.

Tonight, between 8-9 pm YOUR TIME. Every little bit makes a difference. See the website for more details.

::: Bath :::

the city is built within seven hills
I live on the toenails of one
it hurt so I couldn't breathe
as rain spattered my plate glass chest
I wondered at the ancients who chose
why bathe in so many clouds?

under the eyes of others' gods
will a helmet keep you dry when
gallows god calls out the storm
but you loved your dignity
sacrifice buried at the crossroads
throat smiling with bloody despair

::: Monstrous :::

it's funny, I would be your prince
but you always play the knight
and yet you'll take no princess
my heart the dragon you slay
what good is a dead drake?
virgin maid to capture unicorns
I will be none, nor can I
I am manticore with borrowed face
cockatrice in gardens of stone
so monstrous am I for loving you
ignorance be the shield which saves

::: Fishing :::

I suspect I fear the ocean
funny that I've never been
that deep green is too much
the sea is wide like your eyes
your name drips down my leg
imagine your salt on my tongue

fish lips touch in wet embrace
cold desire from scaly hearts
slippery and fresh, no escape
not forgotten is the shore, but
casting my net across these waves
you shall be eaten if caught
