# About me
DisappropriationDo I know any better who I am? Or only
Feigning just to arm myself against
Time's accusations; after all
I have promises to keep: move out
Of my anxious home and forgive all
My peripheral wrongs--wrong for my years.
I'll tell the truth for once, leave enough
Unsaid and tear up all warrants.
I thought eventually nothing will be left
At the edges of the light and I'll be transparent in
Dark labyrinths. There'll be neither
Wrong nor right, nor dissenting noises.
Now all these bear revisions, for I found
An unretrieved claim in a well of
Bitter tears. A new warrant.
I don't remember anything I confessed. Yes,
I don't know any better who I am. I came
To deign innocence--a longing
In vain. All seems to be lost on me; even
The despair is no longer my own.
-T. Byram Karasu

Out of the ash
I rise with my red hair
And I eat men like air.

Time-Servers
Time-servers are the cowering slaves of slaves,
Alone on earth, who serves The LORD is free,
Each soul shall win the gift that it most craves;
Seek God, my soul -- God shall your portion be!
-Yehuda ha-Levi

"What is this animation and dying? I do not live when I lose belief in the existence of God. I should long ago have killed myself had I not had a dim hope of finding Him. I live, really live, only when I feel Him and seek Him. 'What more do you seek?' exclaimed a voice within me. 'This is He. He is that without which one cannot live. To know God and to live is one and the same thing. God is life.'
'Live seeking God, and then you will not live without God.' And more than ever before, all within me and around me lit up, and the light did not again abandon me."
-Leo Tolstoy

no escaping it--
i must step on fallen leaves
to take this path.

How can many spring
from the heart of unity?
How many make one?

steal this poem
if, as i suspect, the universe is but a reflecting pool
a planetarium of my shimmering doubt
and all reality thus manifested
is yearn curled up inside your organ
then it must be that, upon such laceration of this world
when i see the facetious bare layer torn
from it’s moorings
by tulips bathed in this
exalted morning
untethered by
dreams or
words
it must be
us
that’s missing

Benevolent Sun
You, my benevolent sun,
I could watch you shine forever,
or reach out to burn my hands.

i think i miss you, but it's the sort of missing that comes when you see something someone left behind for you. it's not like seeing someone in a crowd and going "yeah, i know that's not her, but that reminds me..."
it's like seeing a picture and going, "i forgot that person but i wish i hadn't."

It's okay, I come and go. I've found a lot of happiness in my life, I'm finally on a new chapter. Getting married soon. Perhaps it's as well that I am not reminded of the old person that I was. I want to forget her. I want to forget that darkness.
I really hope you're doing well. You're one of the ones who have stuck with me, even though I've been far away. I always remembered you. ;]

darkness should be forgotten.
I'm doing well. I have someone I love, and live close enough I can hug him whenever I want. I don't write as much as I want, but I'm thinking of a book of poetry this next month (instead of blindly throwing myself into the whirlwind of National Novel Writing Month).
oh well.

I'm trying my best to be well, I promise. Sometimes it's a bit difficult.
I've been quite busy with a lot of things. But I think of you, and everyone here. I definitely haven't forgotten anyone. I've just...lost my writing. And I don't know where she's gone. It really breaks my heart. Hopefully one day she'll come back.
It's so good to know you haven't forgotten me.

cloaked-nouveau In reply to Masa-chan [2010-03-15 15:14:51 +0000 UTC]
I do not forget people easily. Even then they lurk in the back of my mind, probably aiming to beat down the door between the subconscious and the conscious.
You should look beneath the floorboards for your writing, then if you find nothing you can sit down against a wall with a piece of paper and a pen, and write about the experience of having lost it.
Because once you've written such things you've written you are not allowed to lose that spark.

Masa-chan In reply to cloaked-nouveau [2010-03-16 06:15:16 +0000 UTC]
Ack! You're such a lovely person!!
Honestly, I feel like I've looked everywhere for it. It's like I can't write happy, I can't write sad. I can't write in between. But, it doesn't mean I've given up looking, I promise. She's just playing a good game of cat and mouse. Once in a while, random words will place themselves together.
I'm trying not to let the spark go out, I swear it.
Thank you.
