Some of the prettiest diamonds, to me, are those that shine without polish. Shine on, rock on, whatever way you have to get there. What beautiful blemishes there are out there. A face is a treasure map to beauty shone and hidden.
I met this person while talking online. She said she was a lady or atleast that was the image she left in my mind. - Song "Computer Lady". I will never forget Darlene but have to move on. She was a real person that I met even though someone online told me it was her sister that I met. Darlene told me I met her sister, later, lol. I would like to meet an honest person sometime but she was honest, it just took her a while to get there. She followed me out of Gun Barrell, Texas for a while. Gun Barrell is not far from Dallas. I would like to meet a lady that isn't married still though like Darlene. I have drove hundred of miles to see someone. I am glad I am still trying to work on my patience.
My grand daughter, Autumn, has this big birth mark on her right and it just seems like it belongs there. My grandson, Blaze, is a joy to behold. He doesn't have a blemish but I still think he is beautiful.
I guess I was a mushroom type person. I enjoyed the bull and the uninhibitted feeling opening up without really knowing who was there. The outrageous tiedies, muchies at the parties and everything was just so farout. For a wall flower it is so tranquil and serene. Every one was so stoned that you wasn't afraid to share because everything was so deep. You would say something about anything and people would say: Wow, farout, dude.
Laurie, the one he wrote about talking to this guy while he was bricking him behind a wall still gets to me, lol. Poe is quoted as saying that there is no such thing as a long poem. I think that is cool.
To flirt or not to flirt; that is the question. To suffer the slings of mundane life or the arrows of cupid without a shield. William Shakespeare, who cares about to be or not to be. Shield yourself by playing the field and share in the joy of your new found freedom. Give happiness a chance and let patience prevail. Pick ye rosebuds while ye may. The frost of winter comes early enough. Strenghten your heart so that is strong enough for love. If your lover leaves you is your friend still not around? Cherish each friendship like it is your last. Don't look for the love of your past. Precious moments taken advantage of may not happen again. Take heart, you are never alone. Its a great big earth and friends abound.
I like my little stars that glow on the wall when you turn out the lights. I can remember dark parties where the people glowed in the dark. The smell of incense and camaradery of mellow people. Some the most interesting music that didn't quite mean the same in the bright light.
One day not unlike any other, I looked into the mirror. I saw this old person staring back at me. I asked, who are you and where did I go? You are in here the reflection replied. It was like the man in the mirror. I was lonely so I listened further. Old man take a look at yourself, you look a lot like me. You can be young at heart. I really did not know how to reply. Old man grow up. That made me laugh. If I am an old man, then why do I need to grow up? Haven't you heard that you can't put new wine in an old bottle. I looked away and the image was gone. That is the trouble with spirits, when stop looking at them they disappear.
I have a friend who is as old as my mother. She was always my friend regardless of which of her two daughters I went with. I had another friend who is as old as my mother. She was my friend until the daughters started fighting over me and then she told me I should choose which of the two daughters I was going with. It is hard to be a brother to sisters of a different family.
If I am in here and you there are in here, and if I am there to you but in here, then where did there go? I lost there and can't seem to find it. I want to say there is here but how does there and here exist at the same place? There and here being at the same place, would make trouble for where. Where would be lost to. Now I lost where and if I lost where, then how can I find here? I am here but since I lost there and where, then that makes us all lost in here until somebody can find there. Since where is lost it might take some time to find here, there and where.
Allen, the way you describe King reminds of the song by Carly Simon that was reported by a dj to be about Mick Jaggar of the Rollings Stones called "You're so vane", lol. Love the words, "You're so vane you eventhink this song is about you", lol.
Vincent Price's Mr. Phibes, awesome. And Vanavia who Phibes tries to revived, beyond words. Clive Barker, cool. Peirs Anthony's Firefly really interesting reading. Peirs normally did fantasy but Peirs and Stephen King tried to do a swap. Stephen King did a fantasy and Peirs Anthony did a scary one.
Yeah, a lot of gloom and doom to him. Although, his stuff was on the downer side, he was reported to a have a perfect poem in the form of compostion. The Fall of the House of Usher was a real trip, lol.
Allen, I loved the "Tell, Tale, Heart" one that you mention. Being a person with a creative and overactive imagination, I was spellbound hearing the story read in class. I was so into that I oh, no, I am going to get caught and like the character just get it over with and catch me, lol. I mean the building suspense and paranoia was beyong belief. :)
Nene, that is how I felt about that story, too. :)
For what it is worth, Marcus, in a past relationship I felt a cold shoulder liked you described but she offered a warm one earlier in time. In remembering, I was not as supportive as I should of been, gave quality time as I should of done and my impatience is something I still have. I can't change the past but have a chance to do something about the present. One may think what does the past have to do with the future. According to Francis Scott Key who wrote a very famous song, "The past is the key to the future". Another famous person said that and I paraphrase, "Those that don't pay attention to the past are doomed to repeat mistakes today made in the past". This is something that I have learned that pertains to me. I can't change someone else and that isn't my job but I can change my behavior.
I was a child and she was a child, In this kingdom by the sea; But we loved with a love that was more than love I and my Annabel Lee The angels, not half so happy in heaven, Went envying her and me Yes! - that was the reason (as all men know, In this kingdom by the sea) That the wind came out of the cloud by night, Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee. But our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we Of many far wiser than we And neither the angels in Heaven above Nor the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabel Lee
Edgar wrote some really good work. The Raven, The Pit and the Pendulum, Annabel Lee, and others. "Quoth the raven nevermore". I especially liked Annabel Lee.
"I was a child and she was a child in this kingdom by the sea..."
I watched your birth. You were very much wanted. I saw your very first smile. You were always my friend, From then until now. Both of you were precious. Your loves were appreciated. We are true friends and we were there for each other today. Love of family does not have to expire even when one is gone away. The joy that you gave to me today, overwhelmed me with pride and real love. You filled an empty void that now heals my sanity. What words can compare and what emotions can describe what might be had, than those simple words; I missed and love you, dad.
You're in the right place, Marcus. Very good question. Take time to make friends here. I can't practise what I preach and seldom am strong enough to take my own advice. Take time to have fun being with people. Nice people here and I am here, too. :)
