A Magical Tale

June 7th 2007 08:42
You can do it. I believe in you. chin up Charlie. you'll be ok. consume more. just do this. just do that. it will all be over soon. i love you. think positive. have a drink. take a pill. chill Phil. you need to let go. you need a man. you need a lobotomy.


i know why's are fruitless

they don't solve anything

they just clog up the mind

space that could be better used with how

I'm not comfortable

dis-ease is the word of the day

every day

It's cold and lonely

and i think you should know

that my mind flipped right

from left field on a day best left

in the time capsule of yesterday

I will not open up the harbor

to the realities of how annihilating pain is

It's a magical tale

where physicists and philosophers

turn to dust

I love the way you pose things Lily.... I loved this... I loved it all, but this was so striking.

Hope you are well

To a generation y guy, that sounds simplified.
I know you're not being ambiguous, sorry, I'm just twisting - twisted - twisting and turning in my chair - like hair blowing in the air...

up there...

I'm about to start a dinnertime pow-wow
with a flamboyant 'how'
bowing to the cow with some flower-power chow...

Spag Marinara in other words. Whats plowing in your kitchen?

And what's playing on your headphones in the photo there?

Opto

ha ha *love it*

I loved that it did too.. it is perfectly sublime as it is... not a vowel more could you add to it's sculpted perfection... well crafted mon ami.

I've been ~Lily-fied...again .. wonderful.

Thank you, the world seems softer and more subdued.

As I told Opto, pull the beanie down, it's a blizzard.

Lilla ...

This is one of the most brilliant things I have ever read.
That is so perfect - Long ago I decided, if the universal truth is "There is no Why" Then Id better Ask
"HOW the fuck could you do this to me?!"
Oh, how brilliant this is. Im lost for words, youve said em all.

Hi Opto,

the 90's take up a lot of space in my playlists... Skunk Anansie are still around in my jukebox, that's all that matters, although i would LOVE to see them live.. that girl is dynamic..

if i try real hard, i can still see pretty things in winter..

stay warm,
~Lily
