A Day Without An EndAnd the stars began to swirlAs they never had beforeA gateway through a keyholeA slowly creaking doorAnd all throughout the lightAnd thought and time did bendThe vine of Passion's flowerA day without an endAnd when the moon began to riseI saw you standing thereSilver in your silhouetteGolden in your hairTh...

A few months after we graduated college, my boyfriend and I purchased a small house in Texas. It was the first time I'd had a real backyard of my own, and I was eager to try my hand at gardening.

An emptiness in rhythm,or endlessness of timeThe shallowness of spiritwill always intertwine.The hard and pulsing passionof lust, of constant needdoes not allow the bodyfor a chance to breathe.And all these things do collidewhen our world is suchThat nay a stone is left unturned,when we want too much.Yet in this vast and soul...

I have a story. It's not a happy story, and I don't think it's particularly uplifting, but it's worth telling; if nothing else than because I don't think it's fair to let a bad thing happen twice. So maybe if you read this someday, you'll do a better job with what you're given than me. Maybe not, I don't know that it matters ... More..
