If I was never lost, I could never find my way.

About Me

I am from the Pacific Islands, water sign, ruled by the moon; feeling both a deep affinity and innate awe of the ocean... Both the ruby and the pearl are the traditional Cancerian birthstones. The precious ruby, is one of the hardest minerals known, while the pearl is soft and easily scratched. Here we have the two contrasting sides of the Cancerian personality: hard and determined, yet simultaneously soft and vulnerable. Online Status Icons

My Blog

Thank you for this day.

I changed my page, and rearranged it, in retrospect myself as well. It's nice to hear some poetry, swallowing life instead of wallowing in self-pity. A little poke to remind myself to joke i...

Oh love, how you rip into me and lead me so far from the truth.

I can not count the number of times I have sought out despair, knowing it to be my only friend. In these times, I have stared out my window on to a blanket of whiteness, enchanted by the streetli...

Another one.

I dreamt about someone else's life last night, as if someone had been narrating the story and I had just been watching the whole thing. Like a movie. It was about a man, and I suppose I'll j...

this wave, is hard to ride

If I was ever an ocean at one point, my waves would be sporadic and difficult to judge in size. I have music in my ears to block out those waves of thoughts, that oddly enough I am conjuring up at thi...

"In the army," he said, "Your life is in someone else's hands. It creates a strong bond."

I have written a few lines previously, though they are now deleted and unlike pen, the words are undecipherable. Today is a funny day, for I don't have much to say or rather I am not sure how to write...

My dream

I had a dream I was waiting for the world to end. I wasn't sure when it would happen, but I knew that it would, and I knew how. The world would be overcome with this tremendous heat and fire, and lite...

it wasn't really raining at all

I painted my toenails two weeks ago. The paint is still on them, virtually unchipped. I took scissors to my hair. I had an artshow two days ago. My paintings remain in a plastic bag, wrapped in newspa...
