I am 30+ Libra (w/ Leo rising) and a Rat born in the hours of the Tiger; writer, amateur photographer, a single mom, a daughter, a sister, a friend and an eccentric individual.
BTW, the pics I use here (and in my gallery) are taken by me and copyrighted by me unless otherwise noted.
Please also note that I have a thing about eyes, especially my own...
This pic is a portion of some writing I did on the apt bldg I lived in last year with my son's chalk... BIOpics of my friends, family and other things
(I'm so lazy, but it's much easier putting in links so if you are really curious you can satisfy your curiousity fully) ;>
I love all types of music but prefer dancing to old school goth and industrial. I read alot, mainly sci-fi, fantasy and horror.
I take a ton of pics with my digital camera (which you'll know if you went to my pic site).
I love cats and am indifferent to dogs.
I have classified myself as a pagan for a number of years but wonder if even that is too much of a label and am rolling around "spiritualist" as my new self-imposed label.
I am a survivor.
Got the diagnosis on my son on Dec 16th 2004 and he is autistic though they think he's mildly so and will be higher functioning...
My adoptive Mom died of cancer on Nov 2, 2004 and words cannot convey how I feel about that. Though I do a lot of various emotional purging with my poetry.
I may also write about how I feel since I ended my marriage in January of 2005.
I also tend to be rather opinionated and have no qualms about sharing those opinions and it's possible you've come here after reading a comment I've left on your work or something I've said in a forum...
P.S. I write #1 for myself, mainly to purge things that poison me (so it's usually dark stuff) and with the occassional sweetness or humour-filled one thrown in. I also write and share my work so that other people who may feel the same or similar to the way that I do, whether or not they've had the same life experiences, can realize that they are not alone in this world and that other people do understand.

thank you... I wish I knew if you guys had seen it before or after I added the image. But yes, it IS about the death of a soul and yes, it is meant to be distressing... Blame the dream I had last night for inspiring this one :(
Shadowmonkey
A distressing image you have painted with you pallet of words. In answer to your question Id seen it before the picture was added.

thank you

Very cool...if we think of biological imperatives...our lives-seek pleasure and slumber...avoid discomfort and pain... Can the stronger among us perhaps step above?...Make a friend of the dark and inevitable angel(demon?)of our ever impending doom? Perhaps it would make our lives much more responsible(at the sacrifice of illusion's comforting notion of "immortality")...Only in befriending our own inevitable death,decomposition and transformation to something else...inevitable and exacting as this will be...are we truly awake!!
cagewench
wow, that's a comment! ;)

You are so good at capturing powerful emotions.
cagewench
tired is an understatment ;)

I think if I couldn't capture them and force them into words, I'd be in for some real trouble

Better to decay and die, than to twist and become evil and bitter.
cagewench
I agree

I think you've seen my work place... that's how i feel when I'm there, that's what that place does to my muse. You have such a way of capturing words! Just wow!
cagewench
danke :) Though if work makes you feel that way, you've gotta get out of there...
