I ate so much cashews today
If I sneeze, I'd say  "Caaaa-shoooo!"

DEAD INSIDE
Nicole Blackman

I eat only sleep and air
and everyone thinks i'm dumb
But i'm smart because i've figured it out
I am slimmer than you are
And I am burning my skin off little by little
until I reach bone and self
until i get to where I am essential
until I get to where I am
Food doesnt even tempt me anymore
Because I am so full of energy and sense

Semiology says that words are arbitrary,
that words don't mean what they refer to,
that the word book doesn't really feel or sound or look like a book,
that words don't emanate meaning unless they stand for something.

But what if words precede the object?
What if there was a secret forgotten language where the words were their referents and didn't ( Read more... )

I love the rain because of the promise of finding that rain border.

And I found it!

I was in the car, on the way home,
and one second the raindrops were prancing on the windshield
and the next second the staccato stopped

would let this moment last forever--

your tongue is so deep in my ear
it feels like a paintbrush, coating

the dark, peeling walls inside my head
with a carmine veneer. I was expecting

you to run, when you saw the cartilage
in the ( Read more... )

QUATRAINS FOR KIT
Angelo Suarez

there are no shadows when it comes to you
only nightscapes. or should I say: it is night in that part
of the world where your shadow falls obliquely like a shroud,
your shadow whose weight is the absence of thought,

all thoughtlessness and wingflutter, whose surface
is smoother than the edges of night, each finger a ( Read more... )

STILL LOOKING OUT FOR NUMBER ONE
Raymond Carver

Now that you've gone away for five days,
I'll smoke all the cigarettes I want,
where I want. Make biscuits and eat them
with jam and fat bacon. Loaf. Indulge
myself. Walk on the beach if I feel
like it. And if I feel like it, alone and
thinking about when I was young. The
people then who loved me beyond reason ( Read more... )

Today I'll be posting classic love poems.
I don't know what else to say but

ANG GALING GALING NG THE DORQUES.
Ang Bandang Shirley will always be my numero uno OPM band
but but but The Dorques comes a close second.
Felt a bit gloomy yesterday but The Dorques was like late night sunshine.

On to poetry!

I like the following poems for their simplicity and their err cuteness ^__^
It's a technicolor world out there, boys and girls.

A POEM
Nichita Stanescu

Tell me, if I caught you one day
and kissed the sole of your foot,
wouldn't you limp a little then,
afraid to crush my kiss?
