Yes, Virginia . . . faeries are real.
And some of them do wear boots, Ozzy!
Picked up a nifty, little fridge magnet. I hate it when people cover their fridge with magnets, but this is a small one and all alone. Its about an inch, round, white button and not so much to look at, still what it says . . .
“Never apologize for your art!”
Got it in an artsy, little town in Oregon, that and a ring for my lover. He’d been looking for so long . . . banded, Celtic knots wide enough for a man. Now he wears it everyday.
Nope, he doesn’t have a job yet.
Nope, I don’t think he’s looking.
Nope, I have no idea what to do about it.
All I know is that I love him and want him . . . period.
I’m beginning to think we don’t pick the people we love deeply.
Fate, karma, repeating lives, destiny, dumb luck, what-the-fuck.
There was another man
A while back
Found a picture on the Internet
No, not mine . . .
Okay, that too
Picture was a simple
Lined, journal-type page
Hand-lettering declaring
“Art is what you can get away with.”
So here’s my art.
Random thoughts
As they run through
My mind
Random fears
As they chill
My heart
Random lust
As it warms
My loins
Random loves
As they destroy
My life
Random ideas
As they save
My soul
No apology . . . define “get away with.” LOL.
Met a talented and nice lady
Southern Oregon is a pretty cool place
Neat towns and people
My bestest friend lives there
I think I’d like to live in SoOre
I’d go tomorrow
Got my ball and chain though
Great American Dream
Homeownership
Nothing more than another trap
A different kind of nightmare
Can’t go, must wait.
I hate waiting
I want to go now!
Blue with white capsules
In the morning
Little white and yellow pills
In the evening
Trying not to feel
Sedated
Trying not to feel
Hurt
Trying not to feel
Broken
Trying not to feel
Lost
Trying not to feel
Tragic
Is it prose? Is it poetry? Is it fiction?
“There’s only one person in the room.”
Do you hear me?

“Never apologize for your art!” [Or for your life!]
Absolutely indeed. A magnet worth owning.
I love this!

I HEAR YOU…I hear you…Shhhh…
So much more than what you think; nothing like the way you feel inside. The mind is not the soul, though at times it would have us believe.
No apologies – no regrets – no labeling
just take a deep breath and let it all go…
