Pain = Bliss. Poetry.

Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.

Sometimes. I just had some of that. I wrote this sort of poem, like I used to do back in the day when I processed that way (25 years ago!). It’s not very polished. I could fall into forever Endless turns and flips of lazy stretching for the updraft buoyed by the fire in my Continue reading →

Eat Me! Sauteed or Barbecued

Is it a stretch to want to appropriate this song for something raunchy?

I’ve had this bit from Addams Family Values stuck in my head for three days. It makes me giggle a lot more in my head than it did it the movie. This little ditty is from the summer camp play on the first Thanksgiving. Eat us, hey, it’s Thanksgiving day Eat us, we make a Continue reading →

Wow, Nostalgia

My mood has been all over the place lately. The last couple of hours, I’ve been damn happy. Mostly lately, I’ve been blah. I’m savoring this happy time. So I’m working on my book and listening to Winamp. And Rush’s “The Trees” comes on, and wow… what a rush. No pun intended. I’m remembering with Continue reading →

My First Column from 2006

This is my first Into the Aethyr, my column for Rending the Veil. I’ll post more stuff at a later date. See also previous post. Through the Glass An aethyr is one of a succession of worlds in the Enochian Astral planes, and the fifth element, or spirit, in Wicca and Ceremonial magick. Also, depending Continue reading →

Anybody Listening?

I know I’ve been away too long, but I only have time for this quick “spam” post and I’ll be back! Last week, during our newly traditional Friday night get-togethers, Tina had her stereo and her iPod, and this song came on. I don’t think I’d heard it in 13 years since I moved here… Continue reading →

Today’s Lyric Spam: Alive and Kicking

Simple Minds You turn me on, you lift me up And like the sweetest cup I’d share with you You lift me up, don’t you ever stop, I’m here with you Now it’s all or nothing ‘Cause you say you’ll follow through You follow me, and I, I, I follow you What you gonna do Continue reading →

Today’s Lyric Spam: The Goo Goo Dolls

Baby’s black balloon makes her fly I almost fell into that hole in your life And you’re not thinking about tomorrow ’cause you were the same as me But on your knees A thousand other boys could never reach you How could I have been the one I saw the world spin beneath you And Continue reading →

Lyric Spam

These songs hit me, tonight. Lyric spam, move along. Nothing to see here. Collective Soul, “Run” Are these times contagious I’ve never been this bored before Is this the prize I’ve waited for? Now at the hours passing There’s nothing left here to mature I long to find the messenger. Have I got a long Continue reading →

We Shall Return After This PSA

This is my favorite song. I’m looking at you through the glass Don’t know how much time has passed Oh God it feels like forever But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home Sitting all alone inside your head How do you feel, that is the question But I forget, you don’t Continue reading →

A Poem, Via A Friend

Sara posted this on LJ, having found it in yet another person’s journal. It’s intense… I googled it. It’s called “Lakeshore.” The lake is sharp along the shore Trimming the bevelled edge of land To level curves; the fretted sands Go slanting down through liquid air Till stones below shift here and there Floating upon Continue reading →
