the energy is absent from my being
while the longing seems deafening
here i wander endlessly lost
unable to do what is needed
to abosrbed by the fear and pain
i'm bound to feeling this longing
for something more than i am
i'm bound to lack the energy
to change into who i could be
this letting of words is my treatment...my salvation. it pulls all the toxins from my mind, body, and soul.

Steely Blue
steely blue eyes
pierce through me
seeing deep within
a place seldom viewed
revealed and laid out bare
steely blue eyes
penetrate my soul
staring straight through
to a core rarely displayed
ripped open and naked
steely blue eyes
gaze directly into mine
asking intently for a peek
access to what lies buried
dropped walls and exposed
pierce through me
seeing deep within
a place seldom viewed
revealed and laid out bare
steely blue eyes
penetrate my soul
staring straight through
to a core rarely displayed
ripped open and naked
steely blue eyes
gaze directly into mine
asking intently for a peek
access to what lies buried
dropped walls and exposed

fortune cookie #2
"A single kind word will keep one warm for years."
Can a word really have that much power? Can it really stay with you, always there to bring to the forefront when needed? I'd have to say yes. I have always believed in the power of a word. Two words in particular I have found misused and abused. Love. Hate. They are very powerful words, though often not given the due they deserve. But all of that is besides the point.
While a single word can hold immense power, a single kind word will not warm me. In fact, it tends to do the exact opposite. I'm not sure how it works, but I have an amazing knack for allowing something to fester, allowing it to play over and over until I twist it into something it is not. I suppose one might say it is a real talent. For me a single word will plague me for years, caging my heart instead of releasing it.
