The tide to meet my coast<br />
A calm in my bones I'd never known could be real.<br />
We dreamt up a future on sugar-spun puff clouds<br />
to ease our thorny pasts.<br />
Somehow we soured, it was to sweet to keep in the sun we'd made our home.<br />
<br />
These days I still think we could have been cut from the same slab of stone,<br />
Set apart to learn and toughen our hearts, let the wind carve out our skin.<br />
We see the same places upon closing our eyes; unfit for the times we're in.words evadedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16368545810469321820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177258461737534301.post-50581725546108742122012-02-09T03:45:00.001-08:002012-02-11T18:19:47.080-08:00city in the northeastCold nights most the year in a den so snug<br />
made it easy, too easy to sleep away the day.<br />
Outside; a rhythm so fast;<br />
syncopation- too much for my poor heart to beat.<br />

Stone. Brick. Double Paned windows<br />
would never break like me.<br />

these nights- full of promises to myself<br />
things I swore I'd never say again<br />

Urgency ordinarily ordered away<br />
Insistent, irrepressible, irreducible, indisputable<br />
Heavy as stone<br />
<br />
(Rain, rain, wash everything clean<br />
Help to wipe out these places we've been<br />
Slick, wet, and shiny- each surface pristine<br />
Clear away the aftermath, absolve us these sins) <br />
<br />
We sang out for lapis lazuli skies<br />
Childishly chirrupy, sprightly and spirited<br />
Unexpecting, unsuspecting, turned dejected left bereft<br />
"Sun", lied the forecast<br />
<br />

We don't want to remember these places we've been<br />
Whisk away the dirt that's marred us obscene<br />

I am still alone<br />
Two years left behind a good man and my home<br />
I am still alone<br />
Pages get torn up and smells washed away<br />
I am still alone<br />
Optimism breeds contempt because<br />
I am still alone<br />
Playing the role women are meant for<br />
but I am still alone<br />
Changing and pushing and trying myself<br />
I am still alone<br />
Sleepwalking with a dream man surreal<br />
and now I'm left alone<br />
Begging time for its slow sweet heal<br />
every time I feel alone<br />
The leaves turned this way round this time last year<br />
I'd just been left alone<br />
I learned to forget, I slept and I met<br />
and then found myself alone<br />
I miss the men I've hugged and I've loved<br />
all those plans which came to no fruition<br />
I ache for the one man I still haven't met<br />

I regret having ignored my gut feeling and taking on a responsibility I shouldn't have. One that threw way too much into the mix.<br />

At one point insecurity overwhelmed me, I didn't see my worth.<br />
As I've grown and recognized the beauty within me, within everybody, among the trees, the sky, every ELEMENT bigger than I-<br />
I have too, grown more beautiful.<br />
As I've slowly learned to let go of bitterness, of negativity, of judgment, my life has become enriched.<br />
And this shows.<br />
<br />
I am not perfect, on the inside nor on the outside.<br />
But I AM by and large a good, strong woman and my appearance matches this.<br />
I much prefer this to being a "perfect 10" with nothing to back it up, to back ME up.<br />
In imperfection lies beauty.<br />
For 2011- improve, assist, learn, grow, and love cautiously yet fearlessly.words evadedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16368545810469321820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177258461737534301.post-60035265086767957192010-12-26T21:51:00.001-08:002010-12-26T21:52:13.763-08:00DichotomyI burn to be consumed, I ache to be exhumed<br />

It happened so slowly but surely; very similar to how one familiarizes themselves with every mark on a lover's skin and all the quirks they can't even see in themselves. I will never forget the feeling that washed over me the first time I walked on the Longfellow Bridge. I was 18. Dan and I had gotten sushi in Somerville (I wonder if that place, my favorite sushi place in MA is still there) and then decided to walk for a while instead of hopping on the T.<br />
<br />
We knew if we walked straight down Mass Ave we'd hit Harvard, then Central Squares..When we got to Harvard Square we stopped in a park at the gardens. We got a little bit stoned...it was one of those crisp, clear, cool, autumn days where physical sensations abound; the sun warming your skin- immediately followed by a light breeze playfully chasing it. I remember watching squirrels and tourists, laughing at the hurried antics of both..feeling the blades of rich green grass between my toes and admiring the brilliant autumn hues New England is known for. The trees were showing off as a peacock would that day.. oh the colors!!<br />
<br />
We walked to Central Square, where there were mobs of people filling the sidewalk. It looked literally ready to burst at the seams as people were multiplying exponentially onto the street. There was a subway fire underground, the T wouldn't be working for a few hours. Ahhhh Boston and the good ol' T. One day it's 20 minutes late, the next it's 10 minutes early and goes express, the next day there is a fire and it's out of order.<br />
As soon as we realized we'd have to walk or take a cab we suddenly got giddy with excitement. We hadn't been ready for our day to end. I'd never walked further than Central Square.<br />
<br />
...Before we knew it (time passes too fast with good company) we'd arrived at The Bridge. I'd never walked it, only taken the train that uses it as a shortcut to Cambridge. We stopped dead in our tracks when we reached the middle.<br />
Behind us was Cambridge, in all its bustling, yet quaint splendor. In front of us was the Boston skyline. To either side was the river; sailboats dotted the water that looked bluer even than the azure autumn sky.<br />
I stood there transfixed for a good 20 minutes. Turning around from time to time, I took it all in- it is a view I can still conjure up as clearly as I saw it that day. The marijuana's effects had faded to almost nothing, all that remained was the bone-deep calm that follows a good joint and a good walk in good company. The calm allowed for the beauty to sink in heavier than any sensation I'd felt before. When we resumed our journey home I felt changed.<br />
I knew that I'd fallen in love.words evadedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16368545810469321820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177258461737534301.post-41994416067953816702010-10-16T22:47:00.002-07:002010-12-26T21:53:35.523-08:00This Season...autumn chill i crave the ember of a glowing cigarette<br />

I wish I wrote it. It does make me feel better to know I'm not the only one who feels the way the song describes. <br /><br />"I like songs about drifters, books about the same, they both seem to make me feel a little less insane" ha, see?! <br /><br />It's almost akin to the feeling I would get when I was 17; reading Kerouac and wondering why his books didn't seem to resonate so clearly with most of the people I know. <br /><br />I'm unsure of what it is I'm looking for, and I wonder if I've already missed it. If it was comfort, love, and stability I sure as hell passed it up in favor of the unknown. The prospect of adventure, however small-scale it may be is way more appealing. <br /><br />I don't feel as if I inadvertently left a near-perfect life behind. The contrary; I've felt better <span style="font-weight:bold;">overall</span> since leaving what I did.<br /><br />Slowly, the realization has hit me; it comes down to people vs. places vs. things.<br /> <br />What to do when every piece of the puzzle fits perfectly, the puzzle's almost totally complete- save for one missing piece. And you know exactly where the piece is but to retrieve it you'd have to forget about the rest of the puzzle. Is that one piece more valuable than the junction of all the rest?<br />I honestly don't know, I can't decide. I could spend an entire lifetime undecided.<br /><br />Is this what growing older is supposed to be like?words evadedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16368545810469321820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177258461737534301.post-33698104201906770322010-08-10T03:27:00.001-07:002010-08-10T03:27:47.955-07:00I'm With Conor."I believe that lovers should be tied together<br />Thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather<br />Left there to drown<br />Left there to drown in their innocence"words evadedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16368545810469321820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177258461737534301.post-58376527211985589232010-07-28T04:00:00.000-07:002010-07-28T04:03:57.602-07:00Good Things-being surrounded by upbeat, positive people<br />-my kitties<br />-living in a temperate climate ( while this summer has hardly been summery, 70 degrees & overcast is still, in my opinion, better than blizzards or 95 degree weather with 85 percent humidity.

My racing and wandering mind. My never-ending trains of thought. How I need to mull things over and make complete sense of them before being able to truly discard them or come to terms with them. I've gathered lessons from the aforementioned people- without even realizing it. Subconsciously I've observed how people get to where they are, and somehow locked it away in my mind to help me choose a vague path for myself.<br /><br />Does this just mean I'm growing up? Perhaps.<br /><br />Also, not sure if this even makes sense to anyone but myself. It doesn't really matter. I'm just pleased with myself for.. well.. showing some uncharacteristic discipline in a few different arenas of my life as of late. And there are so many different faces to thank. People I've met who have shown me everything they have that I <span style="font-weight:bold;">don't</span> want. People who have wanted to see more places than their own home state so they <span style="font-weight:bold;">left.</span> Those who've stepped out of their comfort zone to find that perhaps a different, formerly uncomfortable lifestyle happens to be a better fit.<br /><br />I have yet to visit Montana. Hopefully I'll get there before all the glaciers melt...<br /><br />Somewhat recently I've even met some people who've taken any fear out of The Future. It's not as if I've ever been a worrywart about things; I tend to think "what's the worst that can happen?" regardless. But these people have shown me that there truly isn't much to fear, and even some peoples' "worst" can be great fun.words evadedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16368545810469321820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177258461737534301.post-5696517628646354502010-05-17T16:11:00.000-07:002010-05-17T16:15:33.439-07:00hmIt's crazy to think that if I'd made different choices I'd be about to graduate college right now!
