"Some people make headlines while others make history."

-Philip Elmer-DeWitt

harlots wallow in the sun.
waiting for the night to come
shield them from mirrors

because mirrors don't lie.

"Surrealism is destructive,
but it destroys only what it considers
to be shackles limiting our vision."

-Salvador Dalí

Your eyes are slits on mine.
A mermaid arises and
it's just another Friday,
a holy grail and a tree spirit
for you to drink from and laugh with
with wind in the trees you
only gasp at the sight of a reflection.

"Surrealism is not a school of poetry but a movement of liberation ... A way of rediscovering the language of innocence, a renewal of the primordial pact, poetry is the basic text, the foundation of the human order. Surrealism is revolutionary because it is a return to the beginning of all beginnings."

-Octavio Paz

in the hideous love-making
of devils and whores,
the wind would kiss her breast
entwined their thin limbs
upon his brow; terrible, sweet.
I no longer felt myself,
in a sea, star-infused with a flock of doves.
backwards into sleep,
i hung there.

"To love deeply in one direction makes us more loving in all others."

-Anne-Sophie Swetchine

Stained glass angels in my dreams,
A scene so bright and saccharine.
They fly off the glass, and into the sun
Finally finding where they really belong.

The sky is yours to search

"Photographers do this for a living, every single day -- they point their lenses toward every single corner of our world and somehow make the mundane mesmerizing through their artistic eye. It's all a matter of being aware of your surroundings and realizing that there are some really amazing and interesting things to look at, even if it may just be something so simple as a wall being covered up by paint."

-Ward Jenkins

Blackberry red light,
through a sparkly vapor
of prepubescent lovers
and jaded one timers.

This time we won't remember,
though we won't chose to forget, either.

"We are so vain that we even care for the opinion of those we don't care for."

-Marie Ebner von Eschenbach

To make love:
Bake.
Write a song,
and sleep.
See them in your eyes then
your mind's eye.
Spin in circles,
because spinning in squares
is difficult.
watch a movie and
touch hands
in the popcorn.
Forget your past
and imagine your future.

"There are many who dare not kill themselves for fear of what the neighbors will say."

-Cyril Connolly

Which senses engage you, escape you?
Pondering over the five,
sight
smell
touch
taste
hear

the colour purple
the scent of vanilla
the softest of skins,
an airy taste
and a sound words cannot
cover.

"A good listener is usually thinking about something else."

-Kin Hubbard

flesh meets flesh and
so it begins.
when nothing else matters and
flesh continues until it
is flesh no more.
The haunting continues.
Flesh meets flesh and
so it ends.

"Some think it's holding on that makes one strong; sometimes it's letting go."

-Sylvia Robinson

It is the dying spirit.
Desiring, I hide.
Desiring a taste,
A touch
Of your
Spirit.

"Learn as much by writing as by reading."

-Lord Acton

We meet on the banks,
dreaming of pink shores
and serene skies

your velvety spirit soars.
Lift, fade: discover.

"A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it."

-George Moore

Without change,
flying through a silver lining.
Aerodynamically flawed,
But you fly anyway.

Mold and mend a new existence.
Why would you need anything else?
Holding high an award
Given to you by a stranger
A smile changes everything.
