COLLECTION OF THOUGHTS -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "French Script MT";">from an Aspiring Human Being,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Century Gothic",sans-serif"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>From the moment consciousness first
introduced itself to me, my hands found pens and pencils.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those pens and pencils found paper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In moments of distraught, in early years
spent searching for reprieve – written expression was my home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were no safe places for me to exist
other than my journals: a setting of freedom, safety, creativity, and
redemption.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At a young age, I discovered
that once my pen hit paper, an energetic flow erupted from within.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My hand would start moving, ink bleeding into
paper; my mind would come to ease: effortless it seemed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The following pieces encompass
several years: from political recollections, heartbreak reflections and moments
where I sought direction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>When I write, I place no
barriers, no limitations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I warmly
welcome the gentle flow of words from my mind to paper – delighting in the
result.<br />
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It’s not to say that there
have not been dry years; there have been many times, years, where the magic of self-expression
didn’t seem easily accessible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where I
was unable to hit the same core of euphoric poetry, self-examination &
reflection: years where I pondered, “Perhaps I shouldn’t write anymore; maybe
those dreams were an illusion,” or even moreso, “I have NOTHING to say, and
nothing matters.”<br />
<br />
& these periods are not uncommon,<br />
but one must, I must, welcome creativity;<br />
One must, I must, be VULNERABLE.<br />
One must, I must, be ACCEPTING, NONASSUMING. <br />
<br />
I can not expect this blessing of self-expression to strike me out of nowhere
--<br />
I can not expect unhealthy living to produce magnificent pieces --<br />
I can not expect that I will consistently write pieces which will touch hearts
& souls. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Century Gothic",sans-serif">\\\</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Century Gothic",sans-serif">Yet,
in those moments -<br />
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>in those periods -<br />
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>you better bet your damn self
that if I can, I will.<br />
<br />
& pen and paper will always be my safe haven.<br />
<br />
Thank you for opening your heart and soul to my heart and soul.<br />
Thank you for your time in reading expressions from my core.<br />
Thank you for your understanding.<br />
Thank you for your judgement.<br />
Thank you for your critiques.<br />
Thank you for being YOU.<br />
I love you.<br />
I love me.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Century Gothic",sans-serif">---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Thrusted
into this world, dripping in love;<br />
there, I had my first sights, before memory.<br />
My mother, in tears, I assume. My father nearby.<br />
The years twirl around me.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">My mother,
in tears, weeping as she held me;<br />
I’m no older than seven now.<br />
The night passed with mystery –</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">My mother,
watching me drown in sorrow.<br />
Those wicked teenage years;<br />
the damned days of our family.<br />
She had to be strong, no fragility allowed.<br />
Yet I would cry rivers & lagoons, <br />
submerging myself in intense emotion --<br />
seeking reprieve.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">My mother,
she is distant now,<br />
no tears left to cry --<br />
I stand here with pain subsided;<br />
I wish I could ease her burden.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">I was once
plagued by an everlasting monsoon;<br />
one perhaps passed down the family line like a hot potato looking for its feaster.<br />
Its not to say I no longer feel,<br />
oh – these eyes still puff & precipitate;<br />
oh – this heart still flirts with anguish.<br />
<br />
Yet, with age,<br />
I’ve learned the power of flight, the gift of fins, & the importance of
roots.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">I’m no
longer swept into never-ending storms,<br />
harsh & unforgiving rivers,<br />
or psyche shattering earthquakes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">I breathe.
I feel. I let go.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">I live,
now. </span></p>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a rambling man while he takes a
toke;<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the wallpaper drips with the stench of
ancient memories.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Smoke escapes his mouth with the<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>haste of work horses on their last<br />
mile; it reminds him of childhood.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The linoleum tile cracks from
pressure;<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>much like his joints that keep him firmly<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>planted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He breathes in more heavy<br />
smoke; it occupies his lungs; the<br />
sensation brings him comfort—shielding<br />
him from the woes that creep in around<br />
the midnight hour.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The clock hands tick, tock, amongst
his<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>deep thought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where company once sat,<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>filling the room with warmth and
familiarity,<br />
dust collects.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He still hears the gentle strokes of<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>piano keys; feels the heart tugs of<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>past loves; smells the perfume of<br />
dancers wearing black flappers, sporting long<br />
cigarettes; tastes the smooth impact of aged<br />
whiskey: only the sights of silent dancehalls <br />
remain. <br />
<br />
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“One day,” he whispers,<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“once the dance of life has
finished,<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and the ol’ lady sings, may I return
to<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the evenings that felt like joy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh,<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>while the good times lasted,<br />
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I sure wasn’t ready for<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>them to end.”<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The clock strikes midnight, and with a
breath<br />
of nostalgia-filled air, his dancing shoes<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>seemed to take on youthful energy for<br />
a final time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The music began.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Laughter and<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>endearing conversation waltzed in,
& old<br />
lovers returned; his heart happy, eyes<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>shuts, body still & breathe
collected.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Home.”</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">&
there he sat – pen on paper,<br />
a simple gesture, holding so much power.<br />
<br />
Those warm, damp hallways he sat in<br />
were just as empty as his mind.<br />
<br />
• • • • •<br />
What does the muse do,<br />
When creativity is absent?<br />
When inspiration is found in fragments?<br />
When he feels like a fraud in a reenactment?<br />
• • • • •<br />
<br />
Perhaps, he thought, he wasn’t worthy –<br />
Maybe he never had any thoughts at all.<br />
<br />
Sweat dripped from his back<br />
As the halls seemed to close in;<br />
Could he get in one more line?<br />
His mind a bastardized inkless pen. <br />
<br />
& fear not, he thought;<br />
Everything comes in time. <br />
It's no competition; this should cause no stress at all.<br />
<br />
& with that, <br />
His inner critic disappeared;<br />
The magic in writing persevered. . .<br />
<br />
We must all remember:<br />
We are not our darkest thoughts;<br />
& Our value is not linked to our production.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why is empathy looked down upon in our society?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is no harm in crying tears for injustice;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">there is no deceit in shedding a tear for the state of humanity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tears must be cast for remembrance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tears must be shed for the collective soul.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sadness has to be felt for positivity to be held.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sorrow should be upheld in honor of all innocent lives lost.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is no shame in crying for the sake of nostalgic times. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In memories — but not forgotten.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maybe the best memories of our lives will be relived,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but perhaps not in this lifetime.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I believe this is alright, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">despite the times when we may feel that all good times have already been lived;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">when we trade old friends for new faces, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">when we let old memories pass for new to come.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But, in the end,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">all will be okay.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We must be thankful for the times we have experienced.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are unique, and they are sacred within themselves. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Good times will come again and the past will remain,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">until we,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ourselves,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">pass.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Life can be a memorial of moments lapsed, of memories praised,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but we must not forget to sow our gardens—to enjoy the moment while it lasts,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and to forget our worries if only for a second—as everything may be temporary,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but our souls are not.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The lives we have lived: will be, shall be. . .</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">& so, we cry for the good, the bad and the truth, and we must not feel shame.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. . . We are divine, & so are our experiences.</span></div>

The Taurus-Gemini Cusp can be a quite tricky thing to work
around, or even figure out... Those born under this influence can seem
quite distant, egotistical, or even unstable... In the mind of this
being, there is always one hundred and one issues going on - as there is
never a moment when thoughts cease to be constructed. When with them,
you must be careful, as frivolous ideas might come up, and you could
even find yourself in a position you never imagined you would be in, but
you also have to watch out, for when they become reclusive, every idea
that hits air might become rejected. You can never really know what to
expect from these, but you can always expect the same positive-radical
energy being excerpted from these beings - whether this is compulsory or
something they are knowledgeable of.<br />
<br />
When it comes to
love, they usually are not wanting to take the first jump -- at the same
time, they might be a little unapproachable due to their spastic
nature. If you win a heart of a Taurus-Gemini, you better hang on tight
as once you lose them, they could be gone for good as you sit there and
wondered where it all went... When in a relationship, the cusp always
enjoys much flattering, and sometimes the relationship is more or less
about flattering them more than anything else. Communication is the
number one important issue in the mind of a Taurus-Gemini -- with no
communication, the relationship will hit a dead-end immediately. You
should ALWAYS be open to new ideas, places to visit, outtings, and
activities to participate in to keep their active mind entertained,
content, and on-top of things. You should never betray the trust of
them, although it might be easier to forgive then forget: but keep this
in mind, while you have the relaxed-rock nature of a Taurus-Gemini, you
also have the ever-active, crazy twins within; you should not try to
chain down these individuals but you might find that they are doing it
themselves. Sometimes it seems like someone of this cusp, while in a
relationship, will be putting a choke-hold on you, as they must be
always aware of everything, but never try to return this dominance, as
it might backlash immediately. The love of a Taurus-Gemini is unique and
unlike any other.<br />
<br />
These beings can be great, loyal
friends... they will always have a shoulder to lean on... although, more
often than not, they do not go out seeking for a shoulder for their own
head. Whenever you need any advice or are seeking help within any
constitute of life, the Taurus-Gemini will have an open ear and great
therapuetical advice. The Taurus-Gemini always has a voice if anyone has
an ear to listen. When it comes to secrets, some might just be too
juicy to not spill around, but if you assure the significance of the
matter, you should be fine. From time to time, conspiracies, research,
and alternative activities will over-consume them and they will be
increasingly anti-social and quiet, and when that happens, be sure to
wait it out, as they will always come back to life -- just be sure to
genuinely listen to their crazy ideas and supposed findings, and even
reluctantly agree if you must... An argument with one of these
individuals is one thing you should always avoid, as it can easily
become a shit-flinging fight of realist insults and hurtful matters. As
long as you do not waste the time of a Taurus-Gemini, your time should
not be wasted either... Usually, they are the perfect spice and
spidazzle to a meeting of friends or a party -- keep a close eye on
them, sometimes they can get carried away with their entertaining,
meddlings, and might go a little too hard during parties. They make
great company.<br />
<br />
Overall, Taurus-Geminis are odd, genuine,
and intelligent beings; you won't find many like them... Their love is
unforgettable and also true, just do not deceive them nor their
hearts... They make interesting and legitimate friends, and it doesn't
matter what stereotype you fall in, as it's the person UNDER the skin
that truly matters...<br />Literally Loganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14596195722214857794noreply@blogger.com77
