Desert Flower

Well, I decided to stay up and write a little something over at my new place. Things still look a little messy but we'll clean it up...eventually. It's safe to update links and all that...for those of you who want to come along for the ride. Otherwise, please go over to the right and watch out for that first step. Thank you.

PS I will keep this place up only for the archives. I'm too lazy to export all of this into MT.

Do you like me just a little bit?
Do you think I'm cute whenever I go off into my little rants about life and self discovery?
Do you enjoy my little chats with platonic friends and other silly entries?
Do you? Do you?

Would you like me even more if the pop-up ads were gone?
If all you had to deal with when coming to visit was my charming smile and a dose of my mind?
Would you really like me then?

Someone just gave me a very nice present and it's not even my birthday! Unless you like annoying flashing ad signs, I think you're gonna like me just a bit more now. I know I think the new ride rules!

I'll let you know when I'm officially there. Gotta learn how to drive first. *smiles* If you don't hear from me you know I'm probably in Mexico eating some good ol' carne asada taquitos. I'll be back though. For now I have a class here tonight and a couple of things to do this weekend. Maybe I can make the move somewhere in between.

Why write poetry right now? Why increase our doubt by writing it over and over? Why tell the story of past conflicts, of unexpected loves? Nobody needs the remains of old victories. All of it is just noise - added to a world full of sounds that will surely overpower what the individual has to say. Can we be clear when surrounded by confusion? We should stop the nonesense and put our words to better use.

But if you and I don't say what it is that lives inside of us, then how will tomorrow know about today? Maybe I am right and our words are just nonesense. Still, I like to read about why it is so many people hurt, laugh, cry, love. You can't generalize such emotions - they're different for everyone. Who better to tell a story about romance than those who are madly in love? Who better to tell a story about solitude, than those who have lost a loved one? Who better to tell a story of happiness than those who have found a fountain of youth.

There is one thing I always try and keep in mind: words are powerful. They can kill or give life. With one simple word you can bring a man or woman down in an instant. You can also build them up. Know what I'm talking about?

Maybe some us do need the remains of old victories. I know I do. And if I write about my doubts over and over, will they go away? Maybe not, but perhaps someone else out there won't feel so lonely questioning the circumstances of life as I do. In the middle of confusion, sometimes, a single voice is heard by the masses. Maybe your world is waiting for you to speak up.

Why write poetry right now? Because we have the freedom to do so!

Staying in and blocking out the outside world surrounded by sweetness - isn't that a nice thought?

Get up! You there, get up! I don't want to stay in. Let us join forces against organizations of misery. Systems that distribute hunger and violence. Come, we can start a fire like no other. Next to me, you'll want to live the world not block it out.

Live it baby! We are strong.
