Indie's Inanities

I built you this.

Okay, I had to share this, but it was annoying me having it in my signature. It's my current avatar on GaiaOnline. Friggin' took me forever to get all the parts of this outfit. But it makes me laugh. Because it's just so damn cool. But only on Gaia. Sigh. I don't think any of you can fully appreciate it.

*IndieGirl shakes her head woefully and laughs at herself.

If a musketeer were on fire and coming for your soul... :pinch:
 
I can't remember if I shared this one already. If so, I'm sorry. If not, enjoy...

but to get back to

me

consider nothing
as you were.

i do samethings
as always, just better
and time has done it's ownthings
to me

which you couldn't have,
even with those hands.

someone will ask for magic and i
darenot turn around. just so
happens i got some
right here. i don't plan to share with

anybody.

maybe i've learned to live with the quiet of this
cycle, maybe
i am coaxing old love itself. it could be
just...

i eat meat.
potatoes
greens, i drink chocolate
milk.

every third day. i hate myself the fourth.

redeem a soul every hour,
i set the cuckoos free.

don'tcaremuch
to keep time. i care too much.

nobody need bother sit still.
save a life with your story, go try
tell me something i don't know

about me.




It's one of my old ones that I rediscovered this morning. ^_^
 
figure it out

you want to squint in the eyes of it.
most people do.

you'lll tear up
definitely. you'll get shaky
and smilefrown

you'll lose control
of your face you'll think:

the most beautiful thing
possible within your imagination
and maybe even futher still -

each time you try.

sarcasm, in all it's infinite wit,
all it gives
within it's negativity straight thru on up

is just but to reach us
down here.

laugh at everybody. laugh
at yourself.

figure it out.

you just want to know
people are loving you

and they are.

they are.
 
given to mind

her head is resting in
the pentagon of his arm, very much
creating a home for her face.

he likes his lips upon her brow
in the dark.

she turnsup a fine grin, rises
from lovely shoulder to ask

have you ever known anything
like this before

no.

replies before the question mark
is hung, and he rides long

the validation of a deep exhale with her

good,

me neither.

they are adjacent; the
distance between two stars

but he would get impatient,
drive a car up the escalator to where

the floors have not been built yet -

she would know don't grab
on too tightly she would
know not to

let go.
 
nothing

stay away. yes
it will stop at some point

you will become a memory.

the freedom of never yours again;
my love's
responsibilities lie elsewhere. i am
so sure of this.

goodbye is mine forever
you gave it to me

like it was something
i said
after everything, you punctuated with
not-for-long.

your considerable grin
still considers me,
all wry
and embarassed you
still like me.

i forgo
(forgot)
that worship,
this what have we done?

and my alienated frame - your disenchanted
should've-been-mine face smears me

all over everything

you'd alternately planned.
 
sunny peaks

the Hogle Zoo is humming
Joni Mitchell.

we still have yet to see the ocelot so
stand outside his realm softly singing
We Looked Like Giants.

i think about him atop on one of the
high plateaus, just out of sight.

we get the picture. we read the plaque.

i'm sure he's displeased
with something very personal, due to his
excessive absence

from view.

so i asked the zookeeper if he's really in there.

she reminded me of my softball coach, and to
look toward the sunny
peaks.

he is an unattainable ocelot, mythical, mafiosa-type.
it's his Rocky Mountain range,

in the morning
when the rock and shade are damp, the cold
below is being handled by
'his people'
while he basks, in some form
of freedom.

the ocelot

is gone a lot.
 
enemies

i don't want to see fools
suffer gladly, rather

i want to see them say, Hey so
i was a fool just then. haha

imagine that.

we are born with niceties, yours got away
so then find them again.

in everybody's perfect idea
they mean everything they say

you make me see myself. that's what you should say.

and if you hate me well
i'm not sorry.

and let my unconscious create a challenge
for you,

so that you may excel
beyond all comprehension.

i see it now, through your spittled scowl:
blistered humanity.

i see it now, so

i win.
 
the texture of relief

he will rest his head upon her
light pages

fingers type roads.

he reads the avenue nightly.
likes to see her heart get away
she's letting it run

and it just about dies
as it leaves her, ruby
drops
a word

it goes too far but
she gets it.
she can get it back

before it dries out like angelfish.

it hurts more not to
have faith.

she'll feel something somewhere

surrounded
by other someones
they talk but she is elsewhere

breathing as if to
smell the taste
of sea.

she will seek rest
in this unrest

peace in not finding any.

think softly because
it is easier on the head.

show me what it is really, she says
really.
knows
Christmas
isn't even
at a store.

love is donation.
i'll take the red one.

when you have nothing
you have time.

he hasn't completely found her yet
when someone leaves
he will go back to study her
maps.
 
truth

look up, blue eyes,
the skies a message for you now
don't just expect
it will
rain down.

read on into that big blue nothing
for once it's got something
for you.

nuances alter by way of
have to
dreams are drawn and fixtures are
released.

ten other lovers may hold you
before you lock eyes
with eleven

these are the real perils of circumstance.

look over the overture
styley and wild in it's ability to placate the present.

be kissed but
not incidentally.
 
an old one I found today...


the feeling of fleeing

streetlights

are dependable andso
they have my love.

boys: get hurt,
become pirates.

chase me up,
to call me
a siren.

i sing because i'm tired
of bone
heads these
decaying down
on the rocks.

my mind effervesces miles
over dead
see

a fakelove has nothing
to do
with me.

you could've been
my velveteen
rabbit
and i
your good
skin horse.

but your story flecks

my
dulcet name
who rides truthful
condensation trails skyward.

and yet i've known no greater
love than
what it's like
to fly

away.
 
I think my ability to channel my inspirations has returned. At least, it has this morning. I started thing of how much I haven't written poetry in a while, and suddenly, I found I had so much to say. I've been typing these up in between calls, and can't seem to stop. A sudden realization, paradigm shift of things has thrown open the floodgates and I am...undamned.


touchwords

the lonely cold bears nothing but arrows
and you follow one

which took you here.

to me you are poorly drawn, no one
has properly relayed your gestures
not in conversation. not on purpose.

when a lady has power almost
no one will refer to her.

she is the silent revolution of thoughts.
poor, what have you

to be but what they see they aren't.

when you are smart you befriend the disfigured.
when you are wise you distinguish them not
for obvious differences but

for deliberate similiarlities
that take discipline.

i oblige the wiser for dumbing themselves down
so that i may be so fortunate
as to

understand.

i do Monday's crossword and the hardness of it
sends me

forth with passion
with vengence.

oh,

the difficulty of Friday
and yes.
 
the bird

she is cradled by the landslide of his neck
his hard earth, the stone she is delicate
smart, not to break herself
up against.

what is never spoken and frequently implied makes a
mountainside, whose shoulders are
for singing.

he gives way to echo
her past, the smell of all day when
the shadows have been thinking.

it takes an emptiness, and hollowed bones enough
to fly with.

the tundra of jaw is withholding
warmth.
he is kind to wear a faraway face
when it is only true.

flyers have their plans, their destinations are second
nature -

he stays the rock, that knows this.
 
shhh

hush.
don't go on

about how broken you are

it would be far too interesting for others.

how you were finally found
and lost - just like that. in retrospect
it was simultaneous.

i cannot say anything louder than you
and my quiet.

no more than you could alter what occurs
on your face, when your mouth
forms the sounds within
my name.

don't talk about it,
they say
and it will go away.

but that does things. makes vines that creep
secrets over all your inner walls, whispering
on about - that which we
do not speak.

i like things just fine in the hands of God.

i never played fruitful with you,
my love is only:
itself.

i will not talk it over with friends, make some cliché of me
to pretend for a minute of faraway conversation,
that we are still close.

i will not be waiting. staying.

no lie is true enough
when your liar lies
to you.

i have told them too.

but all the best,
for that which rests,

is still most likely
true.
 
when you met me

there was the day i was held out
like a boa on zoo day
to a kid in khaki shorts

we were both fantastic with terror.

you wanted to see what i would do
if you touched me -

the day i slid myself round
your vital, little charms
and music! there was heard
the closeness of love
to death.

the pain of sustain,
as we goodbye and i slowly
un-coil.

you left, wishing
you could wear me out in the world

i am living for a memory of
a wrap around you.

all the way home
you are still
holding your breath.
 
absolutions

she is making drums
beat when she walks.
imagine the end of the earth; see dragons
hear booms, ba-da-booms

anticipate succumbing.


fear calls you like disneyland teacups
and sixfeet swells at sea.

i'll dare you to
remember me.

sorry is seasick, if you don't decide
to ride the ocean.

take charge of this
cup of tea.


will you suffer hot wet rain, will you
rather heed its enjoyment factor
in passionate swells, oh

rainy drifts of wet wind.


it is astonishing how they've
discounted
free will.

so much so that you have to be
just that
to see it.


find
spires in my memory.
i can feel that holy.

Sunday is alive in me.


one has

found me here.
 
*clears throat*
Ahem.
