A Few Words From Pablo

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret,
between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love, a certain fragrance, risen from the Earth,
lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way than this:
where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

Oh, to be loved like this.

You Again

Why havent you left yet?
Your time is up, so go like the rest
Why havent you left yet?
Get out of here so I can get on
with getting over it.
I push you away
and am still surprised by the result
I push because its expected
I push because I want to be the first one
to not give a fuck anymore.
Im the girl who is first to have the last word
and the best at leaving the worst in my wake.
Why havent you left yet?
Your time is up, so go like the rest
Why havent you left yet?
Get out of here so I can get on
with getting over it ...again.

Abyss

The misfiring of neurons
within my damaged synapses
are due to religious shrapnel
leftover from a war
that I can barely remember.
It really makes me think -
or does it?
Who's thoughts are these?
Who put them here?

Vicious Cycle

Mine.

I like the way you lick your finger
before you turn the page
and how you smile while you're asleep.
You are over complimentary
but I feel that it is real
I love that
I'm not used to that.
You are sweet and open
and make me want to be as well.
I like the way you hold me in the morning
I wouldn't have thought you capable
to hold me
and keep me
and for me to want to be kept
by you.
I like the way you read aloud
your voice is familiar and exciting.
You constantly cross your feet
and I have to remind myself not to squeal
about how cute that is.
You are cute.
Original.
Kind.
Genuine.
Crazy.
Mine.

Happy Halloweenie

I love Halloween, I'm sad it's almost over and October has one foot out the door already. I'm planning my costume for next year ... which is going to be difficult. Every year needs to be better than the last, I don't know how I'm going to keep that going!

2011 - The Gatekeeper - Ghostbusters (first couples costume!)
2010 - Zombie Amelia Earhart
2009 - Max - Where the Wild Things Are
2008 - Sarah Palin (hopefully this costume will not be relevant ever again)
2007 - Alice in Wonderland & Alex - A Clockwork Orange
2006 - Witch & Lil John (YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!)
2005 - Doll & Skeleton
2004 - FBI Agent (I regret this, like all "sexy" costumed girls should)
2003 - Skunk

Mama needs some amazingly cool ideas for October 2012!

Run For Cover(s)!

I'm kind of a sucker when it comes to cover songs. I think the new representation mixed with the somewhat familiar rhythm and lyrics makes you feel super cool when you hear it and go, "Hey, I know that song!". Also, covers are just refreshing sometimes. I'm currently compiling a play list with my favorite remixes and have listed most of them below. As you will see, I am a Beatles fan and in love with Ray LaMontagne's voice, so I apologize for the monotony. But hey, this is my list!
