our day to day sporadic revelations about this thing many refer to as life. Grab bits and pieces, toss aside what you will, for this is a purely theraputic medium for our insanity. ''cuz one time, when i was high...'', ben and jerry's at 11:00pm doesn't mean a thing...| [::..stellar ladies..::] |

the importance of poetry
some believe it is a necessity for living....the written word of poetry. the ability to connect to another human's soul is an unexplainable phenomenon. to have words filled with such raw emotion roll off the tongue of its creator only to realize you felt the same way is a gift to humankind. my dad caught me off guard yesterday when he told me a poem in arabic, one of many he has memorized, and although i don't know the language well, i could tell how important it was to him. anyone who knows about translating languages, understands how difficult it is to translate literary work without losing it's meaning....but one line that stuck out to me was "the one who rides the ocean should not be afraid of drowning"...
here's another short poem....i won't make this a habit for various reasons....stupid thieves...
~untitled~
lost in sweet selfishness
a bitter aftertaste i'm warned of
carelessly indulging in an unfamiliar temptation
thick vulnerability
in my chest
giving into a battle already lost
defeated in one simple blow
my heart the open target
you win.
