bleak weak tired dehydrated no tears left to weep to drip down pale cheeks life is lacking salt and flavour tormented by my own mind frozen and running out of time
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.

Excellent work, Miss Cara Mae. V Yeah, sometimes life loses its flavor. Kinda' like when old TallPockets has a nasty cold that just won't go away for a while, ya' know? Being the forever optimistic guy I am, however, there is a bright side to that situation. I can no longer taste my own cooking! WINK. Just gotta' look at life and grimace every so often, dear soul. Your taste buds will return shortly - and I promise never to cook for you. WINK2. BTW - Your pic makes me run to my cd room and get Van Morrison out - "Brown-eyed girl". WINK3. PEACE. This too shall pass. T.P.

A devastating description of your feelings. Make you take a breath and think before continuing. Sometimes we need to float free of our mortal bounds. Fly dear lady fly. ;0)

Sometimes it is a very cleansing feeling to empty yourself and cry till there is nothing else to release. Now, you have made room for the good stuff. :)
cagewench
hopefully ;)

Awesome words. Thought provoking as often found within your words. Hope things get sorted soon. Well done.
cagewench
thank you :)

I never really know how to respond to a piece like this. It is very poignant, the terse phrasing jumps right off the page. In short it does exactly what poetry is meant to do, cuts right to the soul. It is very good. The reason I find it hard to respond is that it is also very personal and the final line almost sounds like a cry for help, which sort of scares me. So all I can say is hang in there, and hope for a better day.

I am hoping for a better future once I can sort out the present. Thank you...

They are getting there... it's very difficult living as roommates with one's spouse merely because I have no where else to go yet...
