You should probably direct your attention to May 13th as it's the only thing of interest in this blog, unless you like random fencing convos with obscure references, or bad poetry....also this stuff is just being transferred from note pad...envision stanzas or something if you're so inclined.


Suit yourself...don't say I didn't warn you, and don't get mad about it.
I used to write.
Used to.
That is to say, once did, before the

ability to put it all down just so left

took a vacation and left me grasping for

words out of spite.
And occasionally, from time to time you

know, I long for that ability to come

back, or step out of the shadows

proclaiming "haha, I was just hiding for

a bit, but I've now seen the light"
I used to be a poet.
I know it.
And really I guess we all are for poetry

it exists within the heart and soul

entirely independent of whether one has

the ability to pull it out and show it.
I used to write, I feel my words left

for spite, or really maybe they left me

b/c it was right.
I mean if you don't use it you lose it

(bear with me here)
If you don't use it you lose it, but

what are you supposed to use for? What's

right?
At what points do a man's words become

noble and useful, expressing the

inexpressible, but for what can we call

it right?
Or perhaps I'll put it this way: If you

don't use it you lose it, but how the

hell do you use it right?
Are words that express the depths of

mankind's plight more noble than the

words of a man who successfully sets out

to frame then flesh out the

multidimensional feeling of a color like

white?
Is it ok for entry to exist for poetry's

sake or is the proper allocation of our

words something that we need to aspire

to?
I used to be a poet.
Used to be.
I know it.
It's true.
And where have the words gone?
I once was a poet...I know it
But now the words have dissolved, and

all I seem to have left are rather sappy

musings about how I love you, or could

love you better than the rest.
And maybe that's why the words ran away,

because the poems they make can no

longer claim to be selfless, but

selfishly crafted loved crafted love

poems with no well defined object of

affection, and words that stir

constantly with wraithlike unrest
And maybe one day they'll come back,

when they realize that they are for you
Much in the way I am for you
Because I don't really know who you are

(b/c you're really not interested if I

already do)
But whoever, wherever, there must be a

you, and until I know for sure there's

only one truth:

The Truth is you are Beauty, and I can't

help but Love you.
