this was taken about the time I wrote the poem
Where have I been? I don't even know. I've been trying to clean my room, getting puffy-eyed from bad make-up (am about to do a major tossing out of eye shadow, very sad about this) and listening to new music, and considering becoming a real etsy seller to make a little dough.
Anyway, I usually NEVER put poems online because they're so intimate and personal. I don't even really advertise my blog to many friends. But I don't know if I care any more. But I found this one from a notebook, dated January 26, 2007 and I really sort of like it. It's very romantic and most of the poems I've written (that I like) are very morbid and dark.
Well, here it is. Hope the itty bitty handful of readers enjoys:
beautiful captivity
I guess trees must long for spring
and slaves dream of an unowned shore
I guess I love you like that
like a deep sleep
no. a coma, heavy and dark
a place with no escape
I am lost in longing,
impenetrable, starless, moonless crypt
of longing
of loving you, I guess
and you might say simple things
and discuss your laundry or your cat
but inside of the air,
all the air
between us
I am listening, silent, arrested,
waiting, hoping, dreaming
like a mystified little lamb,
missing from the flock
loving you.
*listening to Lover, You Should Have Come Over by Jeff Buckley
**how appropriate.

what would you sell on etsy? i'm going to try and start selling prints soon but i'm nervous! haha
I liked that a lot. It was lovely and quirky. Glad I have an in on your blog.
thanks so much guys! I'm glad you liked it.
I think I'd mainly sell used/vintage clothing on etsy. That's so exciting that you're going to sell prints!!! Super-duper cool. haha :) But seriously.
