Stray Thoughts (or, Working in an Art Gallery)

The misty quiet roars delicately.
Lonely as a ghost in a room
full of living people.
Crowded as a room
empty of paintings.
Crackle, crackle
in my ear.
Unbeknownst to you,
I am a writer,
a poet,
a madwoman.
But you rush past,
oblivious to the creeping
beauty all around.
Ears stuffed with money,
or lost time,
if that is what you prefer.
I am a wanderer around purpose-
seekers,
A Butterfly among ants.
I know what my destination is,
the question is,
do you know yours?
Stray thoughts,
flit through,
never to be seen again.

Slipping away.

A taste of something sweet
Snatched from my mind.
Sharp,
Broken,
Clear,
but hazy.
A forgotten dream,
an epic fantasy my mind played
in my sleep.
Enjoyed.
Savored,
like a small bite of
clear,
dark chocolate.
Lost-
except for stinging bits and pieces-
upon the morn.
My dreams-
And My childhood-
are slipping away.

Blahhhhhhhhhh

Anyone can write poetry,
and anyone can read it.
But only a few people
can connect with each other
on a much deeper sense
through said writing
or reading.
An excitement trills through the poet
as he scrawls the first sentence.
A shiver jerks through the
reader
as he reads
a
single
last
word
A truth is revealed.

Picking up litter.

Dog pulls to the right,
I reach toward litter at
left. bend, twist. Hot day.

Mudling, muddling. Puddles of Muddling...

 Why can't I muddle this out? 
Truth is a matter of opinion. There is only love, and contradiction.

Circles and ovals. In other words, never ending.

There is no such thing as truth, there is only contradiction. And if you try to contradict this saying, you prove it as truth, which proves this as wrong, which leads us right back to contridiction. So is this saying right?

Wayfarer phtotshoot

 I had a dried bouquet of purple flowers sitting on my keyboard, and a few days ago I set my wayfarers on the piano after I got home. A few days after that, I noticed how very eye catching and photograph-able it all looked. So, I photographed it :)
Let me know which ones you like the best :)

Oh YEAH!!!!!!

I did it!!!!!!!!!! I can hardly believe it!
Six whole months without chocolate, I win :)
This is the best accomplishment ever!!
Yes, it was terribly hard, I almost gave in a couple of times, I almost gave up once or twice. I unwittingly ate a little bit of chocolate in a granola bar at Scholar class ages ago, I could have said to the winds with this experiment, I could have eaten the whole granola bar. But I didn't. I got though six whole months!
Though there were a couple of ignorant slip ups, I chose to keep going, I was unstoppable. Now I am forever strong. This has taught me something; I can and will accomplish everything and anything that I set me heart on.
I am all powerful :]
