The essence of true beauty
Lingers in all-encompassing rainbows
Of your joy and laughter
You hold my hand and smile
As we ensconce ourselves in our world of fire
Our love is all there is
I touch your face
Your gentleness astounds me
I’m held in the honour of your love
Then overnight, the world turned sour
61 minutes past the Eleventh Hour
I’M A L 0 N E…
Dreams fascinate me, always have. I experience brief spans of time where I actually prefer sleep over my real life. During these brief time spans, my dreams are vividly clear and emotionally charged. Best of all, I have the ability to actually create and control them…
Suddenly, in my 30’s, I began what I now refer to as my ‘dream dry-spell’. When finally I dreamt again, the very moment my eyelids would flutter open, it was gone. This dream and forget pattern continued for quite awhile. Until last night, as a matter of fact…
I was dead.
Dead, but not gone.
I was in spirit form.
A ghost, if you will.
Moving about in my spirit form somehow allowed me to see inside if a person’s heart. I was frightened, because there were more dark and evil hearts around me than good ones.
I spent a long time just floating around. On the mall playground I came upon the spirit of a young child crying. I approached the young spirit and words were spoken. I’m unable to recall exactly what was said between us. What I recall, vividly, is that whatever conversation I had with this young spirit, resulted in a bright flash of pure, white light, and the young spirit was gone. Crossed over, I hope. I was able to assist 3 more spirits before I woke, wondering when it would be my turn….
I am alone, in spite of love,
In spite of all I take and give —
In spite of all your tenderness,
Sometimes I am not glad to live.
I am alone, as though I stood
On the highest peak of the tired gray world,
About me only swirling snow,
Above me, endless space unfurled;
With earth hidden and heaven hidden,
And only my own spirit’s pride
To keep me from the peace of those
Who are not lonely, having died.
Poet: Sarah Teasdale
I am a SPINSTER.
It’s time for me to stop lying to myself while living in denial. I am an actual flesh and blood SPINSTER. The only thing im missing is multiple cats roaming around. I do, however, have 2 dogs, so that may count. I never meant for this to happen to me. It wasn’t supposed to happen to me. I always felt so lucky in love, untill 4 years ago, that is. I was lucky, really lucky. And really unlucky all at the same time. Confused? Yea, me to. As I said, I never meant for this to happen to me, and by ‘this’, I mean ‘spinsterhood’.
I was 25 years old the first time we laid eyes on each other. My son was 4. I had been with my boyfriend for 6 years at this point. Things had gone stale between us, to put it mildly. And by stale, I mean that he spent 18 of every 24 hours, playing dumb games on our stupid Xbox. Good thing that at this point in my life I had my posse to keep me company. Lol. I mean, I had 7 best friends, all guys, and they were all over at my house most of the time, so I was able to overlook my Xbox zombie for a time.
I was attempting to paint the trim in my kitchen when he first walked into my house and into my life, for the first time. Now, this part is hard for me to put into words without sounding like a total cheese ball, but I swear it really happened this way. As I said, I was painting trim in my kitchen. That’s when he walked in, followed by his girlfriend. It didn’t matter who else was in the room, because when our eyes met, everyone in the room felt our chemistry, our connection. Especially our respective partners.
Now I’m not going to go into detail right now about the next decade and a half. The reason I told you this much was simply to explain why I had always felt so lucky in love. Basically, even now, as a self proclaimed SPINSTER, I know that I am lucky still. I personally know people my age who have done nothing but dream of finding a love like I have already experienced. Besides, no one ever said that once you find true love it will last untill the day you die. Well, I take that back. The reason that im a SPINSTER is because I gave my heart to the love of my life, and I can’t find any reason to be with anyone else. Why bother? It would be 2nd best, because you do not get better than I have already had it. You just don’t. So now, you may call me Ms. Spinster. My 2 dogs and I will happily live out our remaining days knowing that Inot only found my true love, I was able to experience that love for over a decade. Even now, single and alone, I am proud to be who I am today because of this.
Aries

You can have a bit of a temper. People make secret bets on when your next explosion of anger is going to be.
Taurus
(April 20th to May 21st)
You show off with money and it makes everyone feel uncomfortable. It’s cool that you offer to pay for drinks, but not when you follow it up with, “I can absolutely afford it, don’t worry!”
Gemini
(May 22nd to June 21st)
People toss the word ‘psycho’ around in group texts fairly frequently. On one hand, your friends love you. But on the other, you can act sort of psycho…
Cancer
(June 22nd to July 22nd)
You drunk cry at EVERYTHING. It’s endearing the first few times. But now people are a bit like, “Dude, get yourself together.”
Leo
(July 23rd to August 22nd)
People get annoyed at how self-absorbed you can be. You’re definitely tons of fun to be around, but you never let anyone else talk. It’s always you, you, you. Even when someone else tries to talk about something, you find a way to insert yourself into it.
Virgo
(August 23rd to September 22nd)
You’re so serious/judgmental about everything. Sometimes your friends don’t even want to invite you to things because you’re such a downer.
Libra
(September 23rd to October 22nd)
You’re SUCH a Mom/Dad. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. You’re responsible and fair, both good traits to have. But yeah, you tend to act like an old person.
Scorpio
(October 23rd to November 22nd)
Sometimes your ‘jokes’ aren’t actually funny and they’re just painful. Your sarcasm borders on being cruel.
Sagittarius
(November 23rd to December 21st)
You have such a fun, flirty energy but sometimes it feels like you focus on romance and/or sex more than your friends. People end up feeling neglected and bitter.
Capricorn
(December 22nd to January 20th)
No one talks behind your back because they probably forgot you even existed.
Aquarius
(January 21st to February 18th)
You’re bad at picking up on social clues. Like, reaaaaally bad. People joke about how awkward you always are.
Pisces
(February 19th to March 20th)
People make fun of your poetry. Enough with the metaphors about fire! You are so cheesy, you’re like a damn slice of pizza.
Are my feelings true?
As true as they get.
Go through anything for you, tears, blood and sweat.
You’ve got me on a cloud right now, hope I don’t descend.
Got my emotions tired, want to be much more than friends.
Bringing aspects to your life that you had never seen,
My heart, a desolate desert, turned into a budding, flowering green.
I don’t care if I’m the King, so long as you are my reigning Queen.
You turned my life if nightmares, into a living dream.
Take your time, think it over,
don’t answer right away;
Just realize dear Queen,
you are the Ray of sunlight in my day

Periods of long distortion,
when I see things through the eyes of you.
This view,
What will tomorrow bring?
Distortion.
Around the corner, my head hurts.
Those eyes, that memory, this road before I’ve traveled.
But which way did I go?
Just over that hill, be still.
Bad memory, waking up in dreams.
I want to see what is next…
Into the eyes of you, this view.
What happens after now?
Forever stop infinity to cease endlessly,
Distorted,
And just out of bounds,
The time to wake up is now.
1.) Because you heard rubbing against an Asian is good luck?
2.)You pop your gum constantly… for hours on end. It causes me to want to climb a wall OR to go over and hit you on the back causing you to spit the gum on the floor. I would then jump up and down on that gum with petulant glee screaming “you done popping yet? ARE YOU???”
3,) I hate how you discover a new movement each week. One day you are walking around in a whale outfit and the next you are laying down in front of my SUV while I am trying to drive away saying “I am murdering the ozone.” I can’t keep up with you!
5,) I hate how you always keep count of how many drinks I have. I am keeping perfect count.. I put the tops in my pocket. Let’s see I have five… ten… more than a few here apparently…
6.) I hate how you suck the fun out of things. You don’t even need to wave a wand you seem to just absorb the fun in the room. I bet if you bumped into a clown you would kill him by contact.
7.) I hate that you are from a different country and think that you know how “America is” because you have visited here once. I have lived here for 30 years and I still don’t understand this batshit country.
8.) I hate that you have a sign that says “Pro-Choice, Abortion Rights” in one hand and in the other you have “Save the Dolphins.” Fuck the dolphins.
9.) I hate people telling me not to say the word “hate.” I love saying hate because everything else is not worth mentioning.
10.) I hate your perfect sentence because I didn’t write it.
11.) I hate people that are famous for being famous. Naming no names here, but it makes me jealous as hell.
