This is a tribute to my sister I wrote just hours before her wedding (circa Feb 2005), sitting on the cold, hard upper berth of a second-class compartment as the train to Bombay dragged . . .

When I thought to test you~us~me
I was being the human critter in the meat suit.
Then, I smiled down on us ~
A mother smiling on a child's mud pie, dirty hands and face.
A father releasing the . . .

A offering to my goddess, from my notes.
I'll call this: catharsis
Writers too often forget it's not really them in the story with Mom's towel attached to their neck for a cape, prancing over the . . .

Hate me
Hurt me
Please
Don't worry, it's not a contagious disease
Just a need thats fundemental
Welcome to self loathing central
Where every jagged train runs on time
In the terminus of . . .

Your arrival sends me dancing in the rain
and ameliorates history.
In silence after the storm,
my smile returns.
Wine fills my cup,
wiping away despair.
Gracious prayers fill the . . .

This merciless medium beckons me,
Waking me from my peaceful slumber.
Make liquid your soul in throes of rhetoric,
Shine your light so that others may see.
It demands.
My mind scurries to avoid . . .

Melancholy nights lit by candlelight
I sat with Edgar in silent repose
Brandy flowed freely as we sat
And discussed the finer points of
Poetry and prose
Edgar sat morosely and listened with . . .

I am a precious jewel, a rare blue diamond.
You can only find me in a museum under thick glass protected by alarms.
Your grinding saw will never cut my throat.
I am an exquisite ambrosial flower, one . . .

From atop the world
I see you and look down
with such disdain.
You waste away
on slipping ground.
Poison oozes from your pores
as subtly as fireflies in the night sky.
Neediness . . .

To close my eyes
and make the world disappear
Lonely clouds vanish
To crawl in a hole in the ground
and disappear
Pain diminishes
Plagued by guilt and irrational fears,

The eyes are burning, a representation of the soul on fire.
Nothing calms it down; nothing can put it out.
The soul burns faster than anything I know.

Like the chills born of a blackboard scream
I've seen the faces and places of a life that wasn't meant to be
It all comes streaming back to me in a technicolor blur
The sun squinted its . . .

You destroy our yesterdays just to set the sea on fire. You're crossing over my enemy lines and re-inventing my boundaries. Moments like these, few and far between.

As a bipolar, flirtatiously outgoing avid woman, I've run the gamut of emotions and have an abundance of material to work with. Therapy, taking my psychotropics, eating right, and getting exercise . . .

I've watched you for days perched in your cozy nest,
Picking the right time to quietly introduce myself.
We've been eye to eye but we have never met,
We think alike albeit we wish unto each . . .

I stumbled across The Little Princess on Korean TV last night and as usual the world stopped while I sat here watching. I've seen this movie a minimum of a dozen times. One of my all time favorite . . .
