STARFLOWER AND INDIGO

Books

2012-02-09T19:44:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I get a heavy heart
when I think
about all the things
that people stow away
inside themselves
they tuck it away in little caves
cross there fingers and
feel as safe as houses
but even houses fall apart
creaky wood
and rusted nails
people are like trees maybe
all rough on the outside
but filled with a dreadful
amount of rings on the inside
how many rings you got?
or books maybe
really old books
a binding holds
all those pages
you were always tempted
to rip it off
right off!
and let the pages fly away
like swallows
set free from
the raging quiet
of their cage

things they never see

2011-10-30T03:13:00.002-07:00

There are those ghastly
bare hours
where everything just hurts
they crawl in through the holes
that should have been patched up
so long ago
and sting away
buzzing and
humming in your ear
never pretty songs
and you close your eyes
and wish for The orca whales
with eyes that ride upon
a well mannered galaxy
and a slow setting sunset
that tips off the ginkgo leaves
to the starry night to come
and while they burn
around and about
you find an orchestra playing inside
lilting melodies
that you wrap up
in tiny boxes
little things scattered
that they could never touch

Remember me stark mangled sky?

2011-08-29T02:25:00.000-07:00

Had never met a sister world
Squelched like sophmore seeds
Under bleeding soil
Finger roots
Ever reaching like
scars scars scars
40 was her number
even when they said it was 10
she wasn’t like the former highway dancers
hitting the rythym
with a heavy hand
staccato flyin’ here
never wanting a square
only wary circled sweets
yeah there were sweets
remember?
Seeking the hider
Under a tapping birdie
You silly little birdie

-INDIGO

The hope of elsehwere

2011-04-23T03:32:00.000-07:00

Maybe somewhere else
might understand
me a little better
offer me secret whisker skies
and draw buckets of courage
from my deep reservoirs
for now
I'm little bits of myself
fragments of me
anchored in the sea
knee high deep
can almost hear the whales BREATH
corals humming
waves living song
rock
me to sleep

maple dreams ripping ripping tearing seams

2011-04-18T00:50:00.000-07:00

sometimes she forgets
that fireflies have lights
inside their belly
little tiny
bright
lights
she shoos them way
walks her tightrope walk
forgetting her maple hopes
sticky
so runny they were
so runny they ran
far to the icy sloped
diamond caves
oh they can wait
it's
quite
alright

they still hum like little bees
she hears them sometimes
when she sleeps

leave me bee I'm trying to eat my honey, can't you see?

2010-09-26T16:10:00.000-07:00

You ride away
as though it's
already behind you
Lost to marvelous things
discarded
for me to gather
all the broken
skeleton leaves
and torn dragonfly wings
tied together
like soft whispers
shhhhh...
don't let them touch
can't let them see
drowning now
like butterflies
in a honey sea.

"dance trees! Dance!"

2010-09-11T20:21:00.000-07:00

I know your face, little one
its been awhile
glimpsed among the bark
of the tall redwood trees
as they offered
their scent
and moss
tiny little forests
to our outstretched palms
outstretched souls
you were once here to play
now you hasten to run away
at the tip top
of the tall
cathedrals spires
I reach to touch you
but you've already
vanished like star dust
in
my
hair

this ones for you nina belle

Gyotaku

2010-07-02T00:17:00.000-07:00

you paint me red
with your bristles
and tickly stanza's
of old keys
and doors that
could love them
you print me
on blank paper
now i'm bigger than me
bigger like you
tuck me in the cream
pages of your book
and carry me
and I'll be so pleased
bursting inside
like tiny starry fireworks
that will never
be swallowed into
empty space
or open sea

sea me

2010-04-10T21:48:00.000-07:00

I loved you
because you see beauty
in the things that are broken
tattered
frayed around the edges
they make you wake
on rays of kissing sun
to your whale heart
all ready to
swallow all the sadness
spouting out
gold and honey
so sweet
and if you get cut
you bleed your flood of glitter
and move along
because
even if you get bruised and broken
you still have room in that whale soul
to creep around
the caves and
sea mountains
and find just a speck
of
HOPE

traveling things

2010-04-05T21:38:00.000-07:00

there are those things
that travel through time
with their best boots on
sipping bamboo tea
with a slow elegance
some mignights
with rain and monsoon
on her side
she taps at my windows
"have no fear,
courage, courage!"
I ride the handrails
as she pedals
faster and faster
through the nova's
galaxies
getting stuck
in our eyelashes
stars
in
our
shoes

But i don't mind
do you?

whales the open sea

2009-12-27T18:19:00.000-08:00

Living this close
to the mountains
blows up sparkles
in your head
fireworks the soul
the careless shadows
take their time
while day turns to dusk
a thief with dark
pretty pretty eyes
well you got your mustache
and I got my white bike
straw bag
don't forget
to let the
mountain bears kiss you
on the nose
eskimo love
if you love them
they give you gifts
on your doorstep
on cold mornings
wait and see, wait and see!

2009-11-26T11:16:00.000-08:00

clashing into the midnight
dark dark dark
King Richmond and King Flueey
Galavant through
castle corridors
letting thier sharp swords
clash and clank
dreaming of Battles
they never will face

battles they always cry for
in the
blanket
of night

we ate all the stars

2009-11-13T23:03:00.000-08:00

Sweet Monday breeze
see the strawberry peddler
bouncing over the hill
with his checkered trousers
and brown leather shoes
you count the rocks
by the secret
little creek
you are tempted
to float away
melt into
the sweet summer day
on the cool clear water
it pitter patt's against
your muddy toes
so you jump
rushing water
all a dream

"lets cream the world!" you hollered

2009-10-20T18:49:00.000-07:00

you don't just arrive
like the happy others
you burst forth
with that sugary
indignant smile
creaming the world
with your burning bright
blinding treacle sticky
soul
wonderful soul
where did you come from?
do you mean to stay away
like you always say?
you leave your
Christmas lullabies
they echo in my head
an endless cage
of minor notes
minor dreams
the ones where boxes
lay hollowed
and everything wonderful
is laid out in the wardrobe.
maybe it will be better
than the last...

things that peirce

2009-10-17T01:21:00.000-07:00

There are secrets
Secrets that tear at the flesh
Then there are realities
Realities that burn through the soul

there are places
places you wish to go
great places
with people
who have fire in their eyes
and books in their satchel

I've watched you grow
Watched your shoulders stand taller
And your feet run farther
And your hair grow longer

do you watch me too?
" I love thee, I love but thee"
you quote your Shakespeare
let the geese in your belly
soar free

I snap pictures of you
Standing tall
But seeming so small
Beside the Eiffel tower

"because I am so small"
she says
sad eyes
torn leather shoes
pretty little shoes

This is the movie
That plays in my mind
Day and night
Never stops
Never stops
But, what really gets me
It's that one tiny curl
That falls along the side of her tiny face

lips so red
eyes that shed
the teensy
tiniest fragments
of light
bright light
the light that blinds
have you seen her light?

"never let it get to you"

2009-10-15T22:23:00.000-07:00

"Let it grow. let it grow."

the long worn out song
they always sing
soldiers
Boys really
"don't be afraid"
"let it swell, let it rise"
they never stop
it echoes at the edge
of my weary soul

thier Hope lacks
no enthusiasm
yet they are the ones
who march
with home pushing against
thier weary bones
and thier sword hilts
gleaming in the fading sun
crying "for freedom!"
as we sit and watch
from our quiet fortress
they are the ones
who gasp a dying breath
still murmuring
"for freedom"
"for freedom"

i still hear them
if I listen real close to
the whispering night
listen...
can you hear?

INDIGO

don't you see?

2009-10-12T14:00:00.000-07:00

Sing so slow
hum your lullaby
careening over soft notes
carry me to the sweet melody
where white light glows
glow worms grow
tugging at my hair
my hand in yours
our shoes fall off
somewhere between the sky
and the wild galaxies
falling down
down
to the bottom of the sea
we do the sky waltz
no one understood
but with your smiles
and my funny toes
maybe we can live
victoriously
LIVED
lives

Believe in your victory

2009-10-12T13:46:00.000-07:00

They were not
the kind of troupe
that rustled the leaves
of their existence,
Oh no, not them
they shook it so violently
Uprooting the tree
and flying off
on a quiet wind

such a quiet wind

they believed
in their victory
lifting their faces to it
scrubbing it down
putting it in thier lockets
with a rage of elegance
you don't know their name's
never will
but you will remember
that they took the day
even the indigo sky
and 40 foot cliff
and let it burn
within
thier
High falootin'
soul

such a silly thing

2009-10-05T02:01:00.000-07:00

I shuffle all the light
and cirrus clouds
in the reservoirs
I share some with you
so that you can stuff them
into your pockets
and coin pouch
sooo warm!
you say
"i like the sound
the cracking and hum!"
i like you i think
because you know
that bubbles tear
not pop...
always tearing away

pretty penny

2009-10-05T01:47:00.000-07:00

we are the pretty pennies
the ones
that jump from the load
at the train station
or the ones thrown
carelessly
into the Trevi fountain
under all those
silly dancing horses
such marvelous romps
they have at night
no one see's
no one hear's
shhhhhhh!
we kiss the ground
with our copper tops
do you see us?
can you feel us
under your boot?

the whales are a' roling in

2009-10-05T01:22:00.000-07:00

i can't swallow
this feeling
Oh, this tearing
stinging
purple ocean
drowning
swinging
the fanciful chests
they are smuggled
into
corners filled with

blackberry dreams

and
chipped china
and
torn love letters
glued together

yet the Bryde's whales
never stop
they keep eating away
at my tummies oceans
make them stop
tell them to leave
in a flurry
bye bye love

stars like honey

2009-09-03T23:15:00.000-07:00

you came with
the swallows
atop the Northern Wind
and dropped me to softly
into the the deepest well
in the darkest forest
it smells of wood
and cyder
the water tugs
at my dress
and fills my pockets
so i let it grasp me
and fall
into the universe
where stars fall
on our eyelashes
with a warm kiss

come back

2009-09-03T03:48:00.000-07:00

You came home at dusk
smelling like vanilla beans
golden rock,
silver rock,
in the breast
of your worn in cloak
that one
with the dirty hem
where have you
fled too now
in the stars
old light?
take me
take me
where the wild berries grow
and where
the wind harmonizes
thier sweet songs
with the olive trees
that grow so
tall
and
loneley

Monsters words

2009-08-27T14:54:00.000-07:00

I mean to sleep
but it seems like my
ticking cuckoo clock soul
is afraid to miss something
"what?"
"what will you miss?"
she never answers me
so i let her write
her newspaper thoughts
I am on standby
I let my fingers rub
the pretty E's and O's
black black pinkies
then by six-o-clock
they tap at the jealousies
to be let let out
and as i open it
they scamper out
where I assume they
will loaf through
the morning sky
like little monsters

day: a blind cat, a dandelion, and a mysterious pair of glasses

2009-08-22T06:10:00.000-07:00

We occupied
the cinnaminny hours
with mischievous plots
in our mind
and adventure burning
in the core
of our souls
at supper we
disturbed a band
of sleeping thieves
by tickling their tummies!
we ran off screaming
like loons
and holding hands
so tight
so strong
i keep you in my heart
as the decades
dance under the
willow trees

where are you now?

2009-08-20T15:31:00.000-07:00

did the polar bears whisper
from the sea ice
as you sang
and danced your
forlorn winter melody
in the cold wind?
"nanook nanook"
the snow covered trees
creak and litter sparkles
yet you can't stop
your giddy feet
you can't stop
the loverly beat
pounding
boom boom
beat beat

lets blow blow blow awaaaayy

2009-08-19T15:14:00.001-07:00

you shoot me
with your quiet
castle darts
they sting and itch
under my skin
we climb up the stairs
miss one,
two at a time!
trade you a daisy
for a shiny shiny dime
you wear your
striped tie
and i wear my
ballet shoes
for the fancy ball
in the dining hall
meet me
in two...

i love you

her and he

2009-06-27T03:42:00.000-07:00

They lived
WAYYYY at the top of
the mossy mountain
deep into the haze
of the sugary sweet clouds
she curtsies
and he bows low
and they dance
they waltz
and sip chocolate milk
and nibble the prickly pears
as the world
moves below them
as they hang their frames
"cheek to cheek" they sing
they just waltz
one two three
looking down into the sea

"don't let it get to you" they say

2009-06-27T03:27:00.000-07:00

maybell forgot to
"never look down"
and bobby
forgot to turn the
burner off
Violet forgot to
walk the tightrope
with her heart
burning so hot
instead they let
the worries collect
in the vats
with a lattice-like grip
forgetting felt strange
because they couldn't
imagine what it was
they were to remember
everyone says
"keep in the game"
what game is it?
they wonder
so they stay
buttoned up messes
just
like
me

"bye love" he said,

2009-06-05T02:48:00.000-07:00

I have all the moments
melded onto the
blue striped wall
in the corner of my soul
you can almost
smell the smiles
in the air
like the time
you looked into my eyes
for the first time
"I can't look" you said
whilst the ocean
in your eyes
crashed and carried me
for a second

you didn't look at me
you just said it
but I knew
that the Aurora's
BURST
in your stomach
with fiery persistence
I knew

"love letters dripping down your face"

2009-06-05T02:19:00.000-07:00

I have the
never waking feeling
giving me the funnies
in the moon beams
ebony giggles

you've planted it there
now the haze never leaves
it swallows me
in a milky wave
crashing
swimming
while the whales sing
thier orca songs
sweet sweet songs
then calm
under the days
tickly stare

flit flit flutter flutter

2009-04-30T01:20:00.000-07:00

I think i might
ooh I think I may
perhaps i am falling
hopeless for
YOU!
safe in your sound?
such a melodic
happy refrain
thats you
my melodic secret.
do you see me too?
the sideway glances?
and all the light
inside of me
over the briny sea?
ah if only I might let you
take my light
and hold it in
your hands
all soft and tucked away
i might
just might
let you

hide and seek hopifollika

2009-04-16T12:29:00.000-07:00

I dreamt a dream
last night
about hopifollika
a silly tasty dream
that you really did love me
the way i truly loved you
not a mediocre love
but the kind
that leaves the moon
feeling not so loneley
and the kind that feels
like fire in your soul
you loved me that big and vast
are you out there?
rattling my very being?
playing the endless games
come out
come out
wherever you are!

some sort of spicy day

2009-03-23T02:48:00.000-07:00

I have this strange feeling
deep in the pit
of my stomach
like a thousand
red ants biting
nibbling away
at my tender insides
some say its worry
Mousy says it's fear
I think i believe him
I try not to mind
because I live in the place
where all the nova's
and galaxies dance
when you are
shutting your eyes
so tight
I like those skies
don't you?

you are alive and well in me

2009-03-12T14:21:00.000-07:00

the leaves want some part of me
something deep inside of me
reaching out
their tender fingers

they want the stories
the bumble bee
nose stinging
blinded glass soul
happy face?
sad face?
no ones knowing
not one feeling
if only you loved me
stories

but I don't give it
I keep the sugary memories
the satin melody
try and take it!

blackberry kiss

2009-03-12T01:33:00.000-07:00

you say
"no rush dear
what's the hurry"
but the wind is screaming
go go go
why is everyone
in such a flurry?
I look at you and see
a church filled
with roman candles
and warm whispers
stained glass soul
my arched ceiling love

everytime i see you
I see a blackberry tree
with kisses scalded
to your bark
who are you really?
never know

Mad

2009-03-08T08:16:00.000-07:00

Who are the ones
who think they have
the right to tell you
who is beautiful
and who is not?
they know no beauty at all!

beauty is having a soul
that burns so hot
so bright bright bright
that it scorches
and knowing
that someone
somewhere
will take that beauty
and make it their sky

lets not hesitate!
lets fly and love
AND BE LOVE
which is sometimes harder
and feast
and march through the streets
on a perilous journey

mad to live!

mrs. cup and Mr. saucer

2009-02-26T02:03:00.000-08:00

i am not quite sure
what it feels
like to be
the pretty cup
but
I think
je pense que vous
êtes la soucoupe

SHHHHHHH
hush up about it
don't let them know
i have hidden the pieces
all chipped and shiny
in my suitcase heart
sometimes I let you open
the top part
and watch the glittery
hope
make it's way to your fingers
but i always shut the lid
you let it live in me
and leave in a flurry
i think i like it

INDIGO

the man in the store

2009-02-23T13:21:00.000-08:00

I see a river in your eyes
you said you rode
your little grey bike
down to the the castles
in Germany
you smuggled
sweet chocolate
in your brown satchel!
i can see your days
spread out across the table
like blue little eggs
precious to you
and maybe
someone else?

Monday afternoon

2009-02-23T13:06:00.001-08:00

all i can do
is be me!
you see me,
but do you feel me?

i am glass bottle
use me as you wish
you always do
look through my
insides
stick me on a shelf
fill me with fire bugs!!
i am shiny dime
spinning round
round round
it never stops
never halts
find the soul in in me already!

2009-02-19T10:49:00.000-08:00

we lived in little shoes
at the Waldon pond
I lived in the purple
you in the blue
you peeked over the edge
at me
and I peeked on back!
I think
you were the only one
who really SAW me
you stuck a daisy
in my shoelace
it was the first time
I felt so far away
from the old me
we never left
we never
loved another

2009-02-12T13:20:00.000-08:00

little nova came with
stars in her hair
she was looking at me
with her stained glass eyes,
so I gazed at her and said
"we are intrepid, we carry on"
she smiled at me,
then flew up up up
the trees rustling
to show her the way
singing
"we are a trumpet,
we blow horns!"

i don't think she understood

2009-01-30T00:06:00.001-08:00

i absoluteley
had had had to
post this sweet video
by Yael Naim
whom I totally adore
she lets Mr.fishy out
at the end!
i like it

2009-01-28T01:25:00.000-08:00

Oh my!
did you see me?
I was looking at you
through my golden spyglass
I am floating
like a house on the sea
can you pull me in?
I am LONGING
for something a bit
peculiable!
want to be shipped
like a lost parcel
holding little secrets
the letter
never opened
or held to your chest
can't you rescue me?
I've lost my anchor

( I really have no idea why I picked this picture to go with this post! I think it was a bit spontaneous, but somehow I like it!)

never stop

2009-01-21T03:38:00.000-08:00

I feel like I am always
running in place
sooo tired
but never getting ahead
standing still?

just a merry-go round
I think I am the little horse
that is so shiny
and stares
deep into your eyes
glassy eyes
graceful feet
bobbing
up down up down
BUT
I
never
stop

twinkle winkle

2009-01-20T15:07:00.000-08:00

who ARE you?
the catapillar ask's
searching
testing
well I hardly know!
don't ask me!

we can feel
the red drum
beating
boom boom
bam bam
letting it shake
our very insides
rattling us
you can hear it
from miles
AWAY
but never tell him
shhhhhhh
he never hears!

it was a postcard day

2009-01-16T14:48:00.000-08:00

It was a postcard day
it was so sunny
and I was so happy
we stomped
up the steps
to the tippity top
searching
scanning
for the top of a whale
all the while
ladybugs gave
us sweet sweet kisses
I looked out over the water
and wished
that i might fly
and join them
in the wide ocean's
big belly
before the day
swallowed me whole

marching

2009-01-15T19:31:00.000-08:00

lets march like
little red ants atop a hill
singing our song so low
so sweet
a spanish lullaby

ahhh the days slip
like candy coated rain
from my face
down yours
like a waterfall
but we keep
on marching

one day we'll see
we'll KNOW
what life wanted with us
and we'll remember
the days
when all we did
was march

crispy and mocha days!

2009-01-09T02:36:00.000-08:00

you bought little tea plates
and sea shells
when you locked your keys
in the car!
I think we want to believe
in something
not so sticky
something that we could
take out of our little boxes
and hold in our hands
like true love?
or maybe just
cheap coconuts?

never forget
the little gleaming hours
that feels like bliss
and taste like
yummy strawaberries

my forest secret

2009-01-06T23:02:00.000-08:00

have I ever told you?
well you smell like
a forest
not a big forest
but a really tiny one
hidden deep somewhere
with a little pond
and rowan trees
that grown
high high high
so magical

that's what I see
everytime you pass by me
i see a forest
my little forest
secret

honeysuckle

2009-01-06T22:50:00.000-08:00

you remind me of
nice cool days
in the park
i'm the kite far
above their heads
you are the sky
so blue
and BIG!
you swallow me whole
but i don't really mind it
because you're so soft and
sweet like honeysuckle
that melt in my mouth
that's you
my honeysuckle
dream

2008-12-31T11:18:00.000-08:00

i feel my secret
tapping against my soul
early in the morning
it whispers as I wake up
listen up
listen up
it says
but I don't let it out
it stays locked up

sometimes I hold it
I squish it with my fingers
or put it in my mouth
to see how it tastes
but after
I put it right back in there
safe as little bird
hidden
in the branches
of a tree
in wood
shhhhhhhh!!

you and me!
oh, yes
we carry the moon in our hands
and let it glow
we stay in old houses
that are saturated
in great memories
thats why we stay
i think...

do you remember that
one time
thoughts so quick
like that
did you hear what...
that quick!

but thats how we work
ticking clock
red lips
just us

this verse is for her

2008-12-21T02:40:00.000-08:00

piano pulses
forming her notes
with delicate intricacy

I am not beautiful
not even pretty
still not much like her
just a little bit like me

day springs her juicy
juicy hours
across the table
with sweet sticky love
maybe one day we'll
find out what life
really
wants
with us

2008-12-13T11:56:00.000-08:00

somehow i sort of wish
for something a little peculiar
maybe a gypsy friend
who sleeps in hollow rowan trees
leaving little gifts for
WHO?
he wont ever tell me!

maybe something like
a secret room hidden under
my floorboards
its so filled
with ancient cups
and photo's
that seem to keep
thier spy eye on you
all I must do
Is find the KEY

its not that i don't like
who I am
or what i have
i just want
little splishy
splashy sparkles
every now and then!!!

2008-12-05T16:55:00.000-08:00

I am desperately clinging
to the hope
of one day becoming
a golden bieng
one who drinks
up passing minutes
knowing they will
be gone like bees
without warning

so drink up baby
hold tight
to possibility
because you might just find
if you close your eyes
tight tight tight
LIFE
might whisk you away

2008-12-02T23:45:00.000-08:00

I want to take flight
across skies of pink
lifted like kite
watch me

HELLO!
She says with ocean eyes
that roll and roll
with endless indigo

she sticks gum
behind her ears
during supper
just because she loves
the feeling of
sticky SECRETS
tugging at her soul
nagging her
that BETTER
may be coming
or BIGGER might
come unannounced
knock knock
open up, please?

MY DREAMS ARE SO FULL

of secret club of girls
with wreaths on their long hair
who march through dark caves and
grace the world with their endless smiles

small hands with red nails
holding steaming tea
at a slow little cafe'
goes unnoticed
what is she thinking?

little birds getting stuck in the nettles
set them free!!
watch them soar
like little dreams into
honeysuckle sky

hidden school of wood children
who learn to tame foxes
and cook different flowers
with red red berries by morning
and dance in the forest
with satyrs and dwarfs
like wood nymphs by night

creak clatter squeak

goes the wheels
of my little
red wagon
and the moment slows
under marigolden skies
because of you
and my little wagon

secret is held like
flower in hand
pressed up against soul
hopes so high
drifting into clouds
and dancing
with novas and lost balloons

creak clatter squeak
goes the wheels
of my little red wagon
join my secret march
to HOPE

little whisps of love

I feel the secret
inside me!
But shhhhhh
they might come and steal it away

its rests quietly
and serene
locked in a little
treasure chest
at the corner of my dusty
wooden soul
where has that key
run away too?

Maybe magic
maybe hope
Maybe YOU
will crack open the lid
and finally see
ME

won't you come?
I've been waiting

and stir me up
tired of watching
from a distance
tired of bieng the stone
instead of the skipper

There is a sweet little girl
who lives quite plainly in the
roomy pocket of my
polka dot dress
her name is mag mell
And when I am sad she
slips ever so delicately
into my hand and
dries my tears with her
sweet magical lemon drops
why can no one else see her?
I do love my Mag mell

But when the summer starts
to creep along
with her blossoms so sweet
out of my pocket
little Mag Mell crawls
suitcase in hand
and little shoes so squeaky clean
Bye Bye Mag Mell!

you know me!
how thrilling to know
I am not an empty sea shell
the one that pulses

with the most magical music
captivating your soul
lifting you high above
the ground and into
the Place
where sky and soul are one
You know me!!
can you see my soul smiling yet?

winds of march

like a serene ballet of love
that leaps
bends

I love this scene from Stealing Beauty,
you can almost see the little blackbirds
singing in her quiet soul
it reminds me of a song by billy Holiday:

-----

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through.

In that small cafe;
The park across the way;
The children's carousel;
The chestnut trees;
The wishin' well.

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day;
In every thing that's light and gay.
I'll always think of you that way.

I'll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new.
I'll be looking at the moon,
But I'll be seeing you.

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day;
In every thing that's light and gay.
I'll always think of you that way.

I'll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new.
I'll be looking at the moon,
But I'll be seeing you.

Todays a bicycle
Padalling down
Wheels going faster
Lift up those feet!
Where does it all go?
I’ve lost so much
In this long ride.

Everyones telling me
where to end up
HOW to ride
just want to hide
in my weepy willow
stay so foolish
with the sticky clouds
and babies breath

But life keeps
pedaling for me
whoosh
and bye byes
will it all ever end?

happy birthday meeee!

2008-05-26T13:56:00.000-07:00

I have the birthday blues,
too many candles,
on my pink cake,
I want to stay young,
dance the day away,
under indigo blue,
tired of those who tell
me where to go
what to do and say
Me is enough
YOU is enough for me!!

I have the wandering blues
want to find love
in woods
and seas
I want to be swallowed whole
left to Sirens
that sing so low
and soft

hello said the clock

I am clock winding away
tick tock
tick tock
secret world under all that noise
whirs and twirls like
the world at night

I am a friend
long since forgotten
the one whose
name you've already forgotten
can you remember me?
I'm the one in the
back of you memory

trying

fly

Such a sad but beautiful music video about how life and people can change in an instant. I love the man dancing with his goat to a song!! the lyrics are really great!

-------

Johnny and I, we got lost tonight, we got carried away.
It takes someone like me to lose track like that, to be troubled down,
got a heart full of plans but nowhere to run.
There were seventeen dogs out to track us down
and I got some bruises and I got a scar but now,
never gonna let you down,
and I got it wrong like I knew I would, and I told you,
never gonna let you down,

And everything must start from here,
in a sunshine with ease with somewhere to go,
with no sticky feeling of going wrong,
no heartbeat asking where you're gonna go.
With the trouble you wear, you want to wear it down,
you want to make something new of this but
never gonna make it (home), never gonna make it.
Someone I want now, somewhere I want to go, and I told you,
never gonna let you down,

I said Johnny and I, we got lost tonight,
but we doubled our chances, we've got somewhere to go.
We've got devils chasing us to hunt us down,
and we know we can't go like this from now.
I've got a feeling of you, and we danced for so long,
I want your arms around me, said
never gonna let you down, was never gonna let you—
Someone I want now, somewhere I want to go, and I told you,
never gonna let you down,

I've got a feeling of you and we danced for so long,
I want your arms around me like lovers do,
and I'm never gonna let you down,

I've got a feeling of you and we danced for so long,
I want your arms around me like lovers do,
and I'm never gonna let you down,

Noise, by Pooh

Oh, the butterflies are flying,
Now the winter days are dying,
And the primroses are trying
To be seen.

And the turtle-doves are cooing,
And the woods are up and doing,
For the violets are blue-ing
In the green.

Oh, the honey-bees are gumming
On their little wings, and humming
That the summer, which is coming
Will be fun.

And the cows are almost cooing,
And the turtle-doves are mooing,
Which is why a Pooh is poohing
In the sun.

For the spring is really springing,
You can see a skylark singing,
And the blue-bells, which are ringing,
Can be heard.

And the cuckoo isn't cooing,
But he's cucking and he's ooing,
And a Pooh is simply poohing
Like a bird.

my little brown boat
blinking her black ocean eyes

she stares at me
hiding secrets
then spewing them out
of her blow hole
THERE THEY GO!
collecting on my eyeleshes

those black ocean eyes
lead me to castles
covered with anemones
and coves filled with
songs that peirce your soul
those black ocean eyes
there
and
then GONE!

I took my kitty out today.
She stuck her ears up at every sound
And lay sleepily on the flowery hammock blanket.
I started to feel like a cat
Listening to every single sound.

Hearing a dog barking far away
Maybe for a chocolate cupcake
Like me
The birds gather on the long fence
For a choir practice
Singing their lovely sonatas.
The leaves wave their leafy arms at the blue
Sun, clouds, sky so vast
So unknown.

Some days my brain
Is a loooong rafter
High above your head
Going on for miles

And other days
they are dancing eyes
looking through the keyhole
of a locked door
waiting to be opened.
To be discovered.

once apon a time
I was born.

such a insignificant beginning,
to my eyes ,
that see the wonder ,
that these days have to offer,

the hours shove
little presents
into my soul,
tickling me with their
whiskers so real.

whisk whisk
tap tap
the days go by
a penny crunched under foot
did you notice it?

perhaps life wouldn't feel so short
If we savored every second.
every sound
every soul?
every soul is a whale,
black eyes searching,
these waters so wide,
for a little bit of
Hope

hope.
once apon a time
I was born.
and I lived.

to enjoy themselves!!
poirett had a great time as well
( he really enjoyed the cake!!)
I do hope I can meet them again

I was sorta having a fairytale week, filled with hawaii palm tress, beaches, and soft grass, I love living in Hawaii, it's so peaceful. anyways, It's because of my cruising around the island, that I haven't even turned on my computer!! heres a little poem I wrote this week;

Today I am cought in
the sticky marshmallow sky
all hope and clear
no mayhem
just soft movemnt

watching little binocular girl
travel the world
to find all the good,
then stuffing it in her pocket

seeing world through magnified glass
nothing is as it truly seems
a hidden world of shoe trees
circus towns
and sailboat lands.

"hello" the poisened apple said
to the little black ant
"what luck you have
that you can crawl
and I am hung so that I cant!"

" oh you poor little one"
said the little black ant
the hedgehog will carry you,
so that you may feel the sun!"

So delighted did the poisened apple feel
when he was carried in that furry paw
the hedgehog carried him to the beach
and the apple stood in awe!

"my poison's seeping out of me
from all this lovely sun,
and gloriuos clouds
and all that salty sea!

And so it was then that the apple
and his hedghog friend
travleled to the worlds end.

drown out the breezy summer wind

I am currently obsessed with forever 21, and their amazingly girly finds. dear earthlings, I must say that I find myself in an eye candy trance...have you ever experience this type of enchantment? the eye candy spell hapens while looking in magazines, online, antique stores, or anything pretty really. you find yourself flipping through endless pages your eyes get so dry that when you do blink, your contact lenses drift to the floor like leaves to the dirt!! OBSERVE and emjoy my buys!

I adore au revoir Simone! This video is complete and utter eye candy! I love the idea of staying in the country in the summer, and walking through forests of green, and listening to the gentle music of little lakes. something about the country and all it's quiet makes you more of yourself...like it LETS you be you. The city can get so fast and loud, it seems to smother you until you feel nonexistent, Do you now what I mean??

Alice in wonderland

I am in love with alice in wonderland! when I was small, I would pretend that I was alice falling through the rabbit hole, getting to big, shrinking to small. I would get lost in her fantastical world where bunnies can talk and nothing to bad can happen! a i'm not a child anymore and I still dream of getting lost in her world. to dream is to be truly free
