Poetic Response

This is a romantic Wordsworthian response to my good friend DM's poem she wrote in class. She totally surprise attacked me Japanese style with this one so, I had no choice but to declare lyrical warfare of the highest order.

What treasure are you hiding
Cooped up in your steep walls?
Barriers cold and stifling
No rays pass though these halls.

Streams of enlightenment fall on proud stones
With deaf ears.
But gives life to meager seeds
And beauty for indefinite years.

Stop! Look. Strain over your battlements.
Admire your view and stand in defiance.
“How sweet it is to be so secure
Such a shame it must be in that rotten pasture."

Death, Erosion is loving domination
Carving, swerving, sculpting like a river
Guiding, floating life by its shell
Cutting deep caverns with no end.



My first blog

I think I have waited long enough. For all of my life I have resisted mainstream urges and searched my heart and soul for something that is intrinsically me. So, for the past few years I have steered way fucking clear from social networking sites like facebook or anything I see as washing away my individuality and sweeping me into a mass bloody river of sheep entrails, otherwise known as pop-culture. However, the benefits of this whole internet thing has officially overtaken the costs of joining this institution (which, on the record, should never be trusted). I now feel that my creative mojo finally needs an outlet and my experiences and views of the world should be shared and talked about.
From now on I will bring to this community my ideas, secrets, and interactions with the world and how I see it. I hope to also get ideas from others and implement them in my life. A sort of motto to live by given by other people. A participant like thing. You say "Live without fear" or "Do not push or clutch". And I will post it were I can see it everyday; live it to my utmost ability and with reckless abandon and then report it. This is the kind of rough model I am striving for for this blog thing. My hope is that though this medium I will discover a life philosophy that brings me maximum thrill and satisfaction, as well as, a way to spread love to others.
Cheers!
