                <description><![CDATA[ Never mind depth and a sense of strong character derived of moral value, I can find more inherent value in the various quirks of individual beauty, and cultivated personal charm or even the degeneration of an individuals rectitude than I can in the strength of a mans integrity or his merit reflected by his family life, the expense of which in my mind, is rapidly deteriorating. I have no sound evidence to support my claim, other than I just find the latter so much more worth my interest and appreciation, and in it, I am at least not blindsided by the blaring hypocrisy I've consistently, albeit not altogether accidentally, stumbled in on. "finding his daughter, 19, insufficiently austere, Jallat, watchmaker of Saint-Etienne, killed her. It is true that he has eleven children left." The insufficiently austere, who, in presenting themselves carry the lewd, with  the distinction of hedonists and a philosophers, or at least the charming spectacle of the dancing girls of Delhi and their impious golden anklets entertains my idea of notable physical beauty as well as ornate ostentation.  Honestly, its needless to even remark upon it, the family oriented well respected, the subjectmatter at hand being entirely unremarkable. Exceptionally so. Which is admirable I guess in a sort of dismal way and I'm aware of that. But am I the only one suspicious of a well respected man? Really the ones of ill repute one can know what to expect of them. I'm not entirely sure why the moral law  and the wholesome virtue of apple pie my priest sometimes tell me that some people live their lives by is generally accepted as ideal in my community. In fact, I've never known someone whose true nature didn't reveal itself in the keyholes of their apartment. I think its all basically a lie, yes even you. I think all of your pretenses of sanctity are predominantly feigned, and that your ethics, your fidelity and the values you tote are flexible, depending upon the situation. Then again, I think that kind of thing... meaning superiority in precieved virtures... gives some peoples lives meaning, whatever meaning that is. Is it just here that the Shangri-l a of family oriented good moral value and pressure to achieve the supreme archetype exists? Is it different to people on the outside looking in? I don't think I've ever known anything more intimately than the flea market of American Christian culture, including the "home church" families or the bizarre offshoots of the faith that avidly support hollistic approaches to otherwise perfectly treatable ailments.  Do people connect differently outside of this? I'm actually asking. My Ritalin has proven only mostly effective, I still have "gratuitous amounts of energy" so to speak, and my mind is still- to put it simply and quite candidly- a perpetual clusterfuck of activity, though my emotions have geared down, and I have become more even keeled. My thoughts are fragmented and come to me broken and too quickly to hold onto them, and my emotions are in constant tumult, but this has been tempered by amphetamine, and since then I've become a perfect lamb. My doctor told me during my visit that if the sedating effects persist they might increase my dosage, or put me on something more powerful than the drugs I'm on now, that will last much longer, so I wont come down quite as hard. Delicious opium.  the scope in which I view the world will then be changed out for something clearer and more refined, which I've definitely been told on numerous occasions is a good thing, and the desired effect, so one can only speculate at this period of time. "Abou tige, ville de la thebaide, ou il croit beaucoup de pavot noir, don't se fait meilleur opinion" (D'Herbelot)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Without consummation, We were golden. With the sun on our lips, surmising and smoking dope by the water, as fresh as living without fulfillment, or the sound of constant to impede us. It is merely in the spirit of the things that I cannot in my own understanding fully comprehend, as I have not yet encountered the nature of this spectacular being, this creature- this Âcoming of ageÂ is a nameless, meaningless entity of no tangibility or virtue to me, no measure of wear provided by an approaching and unforgiving season that at least in some effort, weathers my previously held notions of time without end as puerile assumptions a girl weak in the knees is given to in adolescence- tender perceptions of a life as of yet untouched by the tragedies of living. The misfortunes thereof- which I feel go without saying- saying doesnÂt always necessarily go without voice- the furies of groundless bright sides and goner desire, the darkest comedies of birthday candles and death in June, the deepest pathos of old confessions of love maim all delusions of any kind of unforgettable always into a sober reality without pity for frailty of any kind, or gentle people. No remorse exists in brass tacks, not for that kind of weakness anyway. One such real world is certainly aversive to the bleary eyed, deflowered young waking from their drunkenness and happy delirium, thus being charged by our law bringers of tragedy to contemplate their mortality, as if there is some dire inherent need, some necessity to come to terms with deaths finalities, before youÂve  ever had time to unfold your wings or brush your teeth or cloth yourself even and thereon pushed out that door and into nowhere, and in the blindest act of faith known to man committed at least in this life, plunge off the edge of forever into what is truly uncertain. It is in the excessive romance of memory I now warmly regard my misspent youth as the great illusions in April emerging above the threshold of consciousness, perfectly preserved and thin as the nape of a dandelion, noble, naked as thistle seed in the afternoon. ThatÂs love. ThatÂs youth. Not unlike the delicate hand of a child, the sick and sincere attachments of the terminal, this is the pale infancy of our apparent concessions. The age that considers eternities in living has now come to an end, and it turns its lonely attention towards a sun setting upon a time for such innocence and primal warblings. Now, we can no longer stand to be the stark and gasping ecstasies of bare-skinned young, nude in our understanding, combustible in our humors,- Time now to lengthen our bones and clad our blush in the somber hues of ripe age, thoroughly reminded we are of the perishing glass of beauty<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ High end pornography and good pulp.<br /><br />I promote now, in my written and personal pursuits, beyond anything else, the hot blooded "illitterature", of Thomas Hardy salacious pulp, fantastic science fiction and pornography that after a certain level of production value becomes simply erotica (which is easily distinguished from pornography, as any one would be quick to remark, forgetting of course that Lolita was printed initially by a pornographic publication, God bless its holy feet.)This short list I've compiled over a period of time, originally entitled "Black lolita with bald pussy" a salacious title to accompany my sense of royal indignation at everything that doesn't suit my mood or thrill my senses. That kind of girlish provocation and willingness to lay down the puritan dilemma to hike up those skirts over those red stockings and let the sweat on your breast pour through the thin-spun cotton dress till dawn, god love it, amidst the great fire of the stark and gasping ecstasies I don't deny myself, I prefer faded gingham!

                <description><![CDATA[ I saw a blooming garden in a green valley, surrounded by soft blue hills.<br /><br />In the garden I saw a Man and a Woman naked and beautiful. They loved each other and their Love was their service to the Great Conception, a prayer and a sacrifice; through It they communed with God, through It they received the highest revelations; in Its light the deepest truths came to them; the magic world opened its gate; elves, undines, sylphs and gnomes came openly to them; the three kingdoms of nature, the mineral, plant and animal, and the four elements--fire, water, air and earth-served them.<br /><br />Through their Love they saw the mystery of the world's equilibrium, and that they themselves were a symbol and expression of this balance. Two triangles united in them into a six-pointed star. Two magnets melted into an ellipsis. They were two. The third was the Unknown Future. The three made One.<br /><br />I saw the woman looking out upon the world as though enraptured with its beauty. And from the tree on which ripened golden fruit I saw a serpent creep.[paragraph continues]<br /><br />p. 40<br /><br />It whispered in the woman's ear, and I saw her listening, smiling at first suspiciously, then with curiosity which merged into joy. Then I saw her speak to the man. I noticed that he seemed to admire only her and smiled with an expression of joy and sympathy at all she told him.<br /><br />. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<br /><br />"This picture you see, is a picture of temptation and fall", said the voice. "What constitutes the Fall? Do you understand its nature"?<br /><br />"Life is so good", I said, "and the world so beautiful, and this man and woman wanted to believe in the reality of the world and of themselves. They wanted to forget service and take from the world what it can give. So they made a distinction between themselves and the world. They said, 'We are here, the world is there'. And the world separated from them and became hostile."<br /><br />"Yes", said the Voice, this is true. "The everlasting mistake with men is that they see the fall in love. But Love is not a fall, it is a soaring above an abyss. And the higher the flight, the more beautiful and alluring appears the earth. But that wisdom, which crawls on earth, advises belief in the earth and in the present. This is the Temptation. And the man and woman yielded to it. They dropped from the eternal realms and submitted to time and death. The balance was disturbed. The fairyland was closed upon them. The elves, undines, sylphs and gnomes became invisible.<br /><br />p. 41<br /><br />The Face of God ceased to reveal Itself to them, and all things appeared upside down.<br /><br />"This Fall, this first 'sin of man', repeats itself perpetually, because man continues to believe in his separateness and in the Present. And only by means of great suffering can he liberate himself from the control of time and return to Eternity--leave darkness and return to Light".<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Late Birds and late flowers are never good omens. Especially red ones. Tragedy is at hand. On three occasions I saw frozen rings encircling the moon, meaning trouble not far behind. If I were a clairvoyant, I would better read nature for what I feel is to come, and I wish I foresaw better things.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I cant help myself.<br />
my feet are still bare.<br />
I cant help that.<br />

<br />
and I say "come on flower, <br />
were not done, not done, not by a lonely mile, <br />
we're not done flower, and you can't sleep now,<br />
Not now, and nothing between us comes,<br />
And we'd not earned our leisure in a days wander,<br />
And not by a winding road <br />
do such earth treading stars make their bed,<br />
in the dust of the earth<br />
(Rag pickers in delirium, <br />
Such lotus eaters, no ticket agents at our rest) <br />
and we toil not, or spin, in glory <br />
to perish in ovens, sun sick and void<br />
no melody possessed in discord<br />
No structure, in wild abandon.<br />
What crowns, in absent rewards<br />
we don't perish, we do not go supernova in the bellies of ovens<br />
in straining after wind.<br />
and I say, "come on flower, come on <br />
WE'RE NOT DONE. NOT BY A LONELY MILE<br />
NOT BY A LONELY MILE NOT DONE. <br />
You, Passion Bearer, Little Bird, <br />
we fly north,<br />
we don't bend the knee, <br />
and love is a coward iron, <br />
verged upon hysteria and hungry <br />
and what we have is not done  <br />
Not done, not by a lonely fucking mile.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I once talked to a Hindu woman with long black hair about Christianity. She said she thought the concept of redemption, and divine sacrifice for the wretched was a beautiful concept, and could be found, not only in the example of Christ, but also throughout the bible. She wondered why this sacrifice wasn't reflected in the modern church. "Its Cultural" I responded. She nodded. Agape Love is an impractical notion. We're a very practical people, you know. Right down to our expressions of love. <br />
<br />
Besides the point. <br />
<br />
This is for Courtney, who's one of my favourite people.<br />
<br />
1. I think I'll be married in an old mission on the border, or I wont be married at all. I'll wear a white cotton dress I think, but not a wedding dress. I'll talk slow and sweet, like honey (in direct reference to the short piece) and make love under the eyes of a garish plaster saint. I think I'm only half kidding. I'm terribly pretentious.<br />
2. I used to have reoccurring dreams of dying in child birth, my therapist when i was thirteen told me i had a preoccupation with it. I may.<br />
3. My first love, my most intense and passionate love, truly and madly, to whom I am most loyal too, is Tennessee Williams. With no question to his or my sexuality<br />
4. I have a wild preoccupation with machines. and condemned houses. <br />
5. George Harrison is my favorite Beatle.<br />
6. I think all love, past the age of 18 is predominantly feigned. <br />
7. I write frequently, but most of my writing is incoherent and fake<br />
8. I actually have tons and tons of photographs taken between last year and this summer, but I'm hesitant in submitting, just to see how long I can make people hang on. No really.<br />
<br />
how have you been? i'd like to know.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ We were talking-about the space between us all<br />
And the people-who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion<br />
Never glimpse the truth-then it's far too late-when they pass away.<br />
We were talking-about the love we all could share-when we find it<br />
To try our best to hold it there-with our love<br />
With our love-we could save the world-if they only knew.<br />
Try to realise it's all within yourself<br />
No-one else can make you change<br />
And to see you're really only very small,<br />
And life flows ON within you and without you.<br />
We were talking-about the love that's gone so cold and the people,<br />
Who gain the world and lose their soul-<br />
They don't know-they can't see-are you one of them?<br />
When you've seen beyond yourself-then you may find, peace of mind,<br />
Is waiting there-<br />
And the time will come when you see<br />
we're all one, and life flows on within you and without you.<br />
<br />

She's the kind of girl you want so much<br />
it makes you sorry;<br />
still, you don't regret a single day.<br />
Ah, girl! Girl!<br />
<br />
When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her;<br />
she will turn to me and start to cry;<br />
and she promises the earth to me<br />
and I believe her,<br />
after all this times I don't know why.<br />
Ah, girl! Girl!<br />
<br />
She's the kind of girl who puts you down<br />
when friends are there you feel a fool. Didididi..<br />
When you say she's looking good, she acts as if it's understood<br />
she's cool, cool, cool, cool. Girl! Girl!<br />
<br />
Was she told when she was young the fame would lead to pleasure?<br />
Did she understand it when they said,<br />
that a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure?<br />
Will she still believe it when he's dead?<br />
Ah, girl! Girl! Girl!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Oh, you weak, beautiful people who give up with such grace. What you need is someone to take hold of you -- gently, with love, and hand your life back to you.<br />
Life denies us these tiny graces.<br />
<br />
<br />
My Tennessee Williams, my first and greatest love, (consumed in human misery, and that rattletrap thing, the flawed concept, desire) speaks to me in the same language as old friends, and lovers (with no question of his or my sexuality) divided in the various passions and tragedies that donÂt seem to lead the either of us any further from our own caustic air. In these amends I think weÂve found souls likewise and dear conscience, even in the distance of years, death and era, in my loneliness (which is inexplicably selfish of me, I know) I feel graciously nearer to the soft-spoken, near hysteria, and verged on exhaustion, and trapped, creating my own tarot of the passion bearers and those with the delicate perception, the lotus eaters, drinkers of noon wine, strays and wild at heart, detiriorated (clustering at their cages and winging at the escape) the truly exceptional in their misery. The ones I am sister too,  They love company. <br />
Sympathy wishes nothing for us or the greater dualities (Two sides of the same coin, the lion and the unicorn, the water and the wine, the cup and the horn) <br />
Displayed by those who perpetually seem in ribbons and tears, and the urgency of old haunts, The weak, and wretched,  who verge upon hunger in famine,  in love and heat unendured, unwashed, and unanswered with care toward the promised life, Sun-eyed, gazing in the same direction, towards that garish and harsh horizon. Empty.<br />
Those who have left, I no longer have. <br />
And still, I have Tennessee Williams and in death, he has me, Beaming, with an eye full of beauty and a head full of sleep. His company who mutters prayers for the lost, and drinks Junewine and says in hum and soft touch on a yellow hill somewhere; <br />
<br />
ÂCome on flower,<br />
WeÂre not done. Not by a lonely mile.Â<br /><br /> ]]></description>

"Oh Natalie,<br />

"And With a cluster of white flowers behind my ear<br />
and a 1000 CCs of love,<br />
I shall share a small room, (In the eastern wing<br />
with a tiny window,)<br />
With a Mr. tennessee williams.<br />
And we shall discuss dueling pistols,<br />

I could have lost myself <br />
forever <br />
in that slip of fantasy<br />
dreamining the deep dreams <br />
that come out of sleep<br />
Hearing the unspeakable things <br />
that occur in fantastic detail <br />
<br />
and be perfectly content<br />
burying my toes in the sand<br />
watching the moon wax and wane<br />
and the sun fall into the sea<br />
<br />
Resting my head on billowing clouds.<br />
and eating the glowing fruit.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sometimes I wonder what it was that I did wrong that made you want to stop talking to me.<br />
<br />
I'm swarmed on a daily basis by delightfully stereotypical bohemians and artists. <br />
the kind you would have liked to know, <br />
(I wonder if you know any now) <br />
and The kind of beautiful people I wanted to know.<br />
I dont want their company because they don't have anything to say <br />
(they are really not much beyond the clotheing they wear)<br />
<br />
I am famished for your company. <br />
I'm sorry to say that. <br />
I wish I could say I was happy for you, but I'm not. <br />
I was always jealous of you, <br />
and now I feel like I have survivors guilt <br />
It shouldnt be me here. <br />
I really hope you dont feel violated. <br />
whats more is I hope you didnt just grow out of me. <br />
I would perfer to be hated than just be unfit. <br />
<br />
I'm sorry I've been trying to get your attention.<br />
I'm sorry I moved away, and didnt say anything about it to you.<br />
I'm sorry I told you you were unfit (you wernt)<br />
I'm sorry I didnt stand up for myself sooner.<br />
I'm sorry I'm so sentimental (it always ends up drivel)<br />
I'm sorry I'm not happy for you.<br />
I'm sorry I dont think its love.<br />
I'm sorry I lied. <br />
I'm sorry I became too attached.  <br />
I really hope you dont know this is about you.<br />
<br />
don't tell me if you do.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
On my 13th birthday<br />
(in june, with flowers in my hair<br />
and cassette tapes)<br />
you told me<br />
That<br />
for my own good<br />
(and for the worlds)<br />
To let my mind wander.<br />
<br />
And on my 13th birthday<br />
(in June, with a soft touch,<br />
and faded jeans)<br />
I told you<br />
That<br />
There are universes inside you.<br />
<br />
Then I leaned foreward and took your hand<br />
and kissed your cheek<br />
and I layed on the grass and shut my eyes<br />
and imagined us<br />
on a yellow hill somewhere<br />
scenes change<br />
colours take flight<br />
eyes are open<br />
skies are blue.<br />
<br />
Then<br />
on my 13th birthday<br />
(in june, with a lace dress<br />
and a red heart)<br />
You told me<br />
Thank god for the afterglow.<br />
<br />
and I agreed.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I felt the stir of flowers on my brow,<br />
and the quickening of bluebirds taking flight <br />
shift the bed under me. <br />
<br />
I felt the whisper of sheets, <br />
the soft hurrying of feet over the floor, <br />
the quiet pressure of a door shutting, <br />
and the flurry of a departure all at once. <br />
<br />
All of these sounds and somatic disturbances you made were occupying the vacant, astral head-trip that occurs coming out of sleep, when one drifts between sleep and consciousness. <br />
Every one of the empty clamors you made in your haste, I took to be the opiate of my half-hearted sleep. <br />
<br />
When I turned to face you, you were gone.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I wrote a letter to my friend (a colourful bird of paradise, existing in the sunset of San fransisco) and told her about my time in Metropolis winter. Like a bad mood that wont lift, i said. Must be seasonal depression, she told me.<br />
<br />
Said she couldnt relate. <br />
California is an endless summer she said.<br />
And I said yeah, I can believe that, <br />
and I remembered Santa Cruz<br />
And I remember, tasting marigold<br />
and drinking Strawberry dairuiris (everyday at five, with Taj)<br />
And dandelion wine (best way in the world to get your head to stop buzzing!)<br />
and I remember zilled-fingers, <br />
and tamborines,<br />
and bells on swaying hips<br />
Delightful bohemian banter<br />
and perfectly fashionable disdain<br />
and I remember sun worship.<br />
<br />
And I remember her, in a cotton sundress of faded yellow canary<br />
and low rise jeans on the beach, <br />
Red hennaed toes in the hot sand, and broken glass<br />
Twisting sweet nicotine smoke rings, and ciggerette butt bonyard<br />
and I remember her, hissing a song along with the sea, broken, and under her exhausted breath<br />
(sounded like sand blowing through the broken glass of a sinking ship)<br />
and I remember how sweet she was<br />
So sweet honey bees swarmed around her mouth<br />
I remember the long hot summer, and fading on the beach<br />
with the intense white-eye of god watching us against the blue<br />
and us disolving like photographs in the sun.<br />
<br />
She stared into the eye, <br />
and looked into the east,<br />
and looked into india and told me you could only really love in india (the wine is so much cheaper!)<br />
and curdled sugar grains under her Hindi god feet<br />
and looked into the east,<br />
and told me she had once loved deeply<br />
But now, like an old newspaper, faded, so was her love in india<br />
San Fransisco beaches and Santa cruz was the next best thing<br />
after all, The ocean is a desert<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ are you punishing me? <br />
If so what for? Your mistakes? I suppose that is the victory for a cat on a hot tin roof. Yes, a cat. thats what I am. Or the only bird without her wings clipped! I've kept my figure, and my wits about me, a pendulum between hips that hold sway (as hanah always said) to mesure the time I have left to be a childish girl, or a baby doll, ad let me tell you sugar, thats some time left, and I've mustered all my charm, just to claw to where I am now. And Im living your dream. Yes I am. Now looking down, from my tin roof, I can say, you are such a coward, and that I am not afraid of heights. Threw it all away, all of it. I was always optimistic for you, but then again I was such a foolish chid, wasnt I? <br />
You always thought so. I may be a Cat, darling,  but you were always such a coward, you couldnt be alone. A coward with an ego (i bet you think this entries about you, don't you?) Always thought you captured me didnt you? always in love with a figment, isnt that right, Darling? I assure you that wasnt the case, even now, with an entire journal entry, in your honour! Maybe, I shall be punished again, I am after all, wicked, arent I? Its alright to be a little bit wicked, and after all, I am not the fragile, terminally shy girl you once knew. So how long shall my punishment last? Ten to fifteen? twenty five? life? Thats alright, dear. Im prepared. I always knew you'd shut me away, and what do I say to that? Oh Adonis, how the mighty HAVE fallen! You alway said I had such a dramatic flare, what with the mention of greek and roman gods and all. I've come to terms wit my punishment. after-all, life in exile is so much more desirable than the so called happiness you live in. I know better. Poor little boy, Just ant be alone.<br />
<br />
Poor little boy cant find his way home. <br />
<br />
But really, in all seriousness, I'm postively ecstatic for you! <br />
So break out the Koniak! Celebrate! Tonight is one for merriment! And whats the cause?<br />
<br />
Congratulations, you're mediocre! <br />
<br />
<br />
Hope you couldnt be happier.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ now what?<br />
<br />
I think i made a print. It'll probably get taken down. I would sell my work to specifically profit deviantart, if people really wanted prints of it. Not because I really love deviant but because the artist profit is so shitty.<br />
<br />
if things don't fall apart.. i might make more. or something.<br />
<br />
?<br /><br /> ]]></description>
