today matters

Live today like it matters. Because it does.
There are people you'll never even know who will be influenced by what you do today. So give this day your attention, your love, your very best.
There are ways that you cannot now imagine in which your own life will be influenced by the way you live this day. So live it with integrity, enthusiasm and an eye for the positive possibilities.
The world in which you live will be affected by the way you make use of this day. So fill your moments with thankfulness, imagination and joy.
Today matters, and right now you have the chance to make it matter in a most positive and fulfilling way. Today is the day when your life is lived, and many things in your life will be determined by what you do with today.
If you take this whole day for granted, it will leave you with nothing but regret. Yet it does not have to be that way. Live today like it matters, for now is when you truly can.
-- Ralph Marston

Isn't this just so nice?

back to the beginnnig

Fuck, I hate my job. Especially today. Well, not what I do, but the people. That's the problem with being a designer - everyone is one too. Inflated egos, and opinions that mean fuckall to anybody. Powerplays and just plain downright obnoxious assholes who don't know what the fuck they're talking about, and comment when all the work is done. People who like to stick their fucking noses where they don't belong... Hmmm, perhaps I should go postal tomorrow... I need a new job. Somewhere far far far away...

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

soul

my soul ripped from my body
soars above the earth,
seeing the oceans and mass of
green and brown,
smaller and smaller
vast expanse of space
stars shine and
planets glow

white light to my left
I swim in the emptiness
letting it envelop me
with love and acceptance
my arms become
massive invisible wings

I start to fly into the light
I have no size
I have no shape
I am everywhere
I am all
I am content
I am soul
and I am
going
home.

If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.-Mary Pickford

I've been inspired... Thnx D!

sweet

sweet crystal
tintilating on my tongue
melting along my opened lips
sugar, sexy
sugar

alluring exquisite

green eyes
draw me in
devouring
the wisdom
of ages and
lives long ago
forgiven yet
never forgotten
an exquisite beauty
so exotic
sensual
seductive
pulling me
towards
the eternal
light of
your soul
living out
my eternity
staring at
your beautiful
glowing
face

The golden goose

the golden goose
has laid its last

the egg implodes
albumen splashes;
squirts and slides

seductively, sensually
over the sticky
greedy fingers

a milky yellow yolk
an entanglement of
blood marbled on its surface

hits the ground
in an explosion of
vermillion and sadness

the golden goose
has laid its last
she lies dead, at your feet.

silent scream

rotting mind
nothing to do
figety and lethargic
silent screams
inside my
compressed brain
what to do?
nothing to do
the circle continues
round and round
start to end
over and over
until I feel
like ripping off
my own skin
just to escape
this tediuos
soul destroying
boredom

beware

Beware of the dog
that lurks and growls
beneath your skin
The dog that barks
and awakens that
which you want hidden
Beware of the dog
that snarls at your soul
ripping and tearing
with its blood thirsty teeth
Beware of the dog
the puppy at your feet...

snapshot

postcards and snapshots
capturing a moment
freezing emotion into
a flat surface
looking back on a
lonely day
trying to catch a
glimpse of that
second
that second
when we
were happy and
oblivious to the
drastic change
that would come
a few minutes later.

words

energy
realeased
from thoughts,
given life orally
thoughts birthed
fully grown and
caustic,
fully grown and
sympathetic,
fully grown and
full of love
thoughts sprung forth
from the deep
depths of the soul
I hate you
I love you
I want you.
these are not just
words

under age

babies
children still,
embryos walking
around with the umbilical
cord hidden beneath their
thick, garish make up
small and fragile they appear
uncouth and savage they speak
but deep down a vulnerability
comes to the surface.
older than what they are
wasting their youth
uglier than what they are
wanting the pleasures of life
but getting the grotesque
realities that come with it
they are the under age
ones that have forgotten
about fairy tales and
stories told on
grandpa's knee
babies
children still.

Fleeting

blurred images
fleeting moments
dissolving memories
all these go through my mind
I try and clutch on to them
but they escape my grasp
and enter the deep dark
black hole of nothingness

dedicate

who do i dedicate these
things I write to?
these things that
pour from my soul onto
blank pieces of paper?

these things that are given
life and existence
by the thoughts floating
aimlessly around in my head

who do i dedicate
these things to that
fall from my skin
like droplets of
blood, sweat
and tears?

these things that
take flight and emerge
from the depths
of my mind and
experience?

who do i dedicate these
things to that claw
and scratch their way
through my flesh
to breath air and live?

these things who become
my children, my legacy and
my memory eternal?

who do i dedicate all
these things to?

i dedicate them all to you.

façade

masses of emotionless automons
going through the motions of life
wearing constricting concrete masks,
a magnificent facade that they exhibit
with enflamed egos but secretly hide behind,
chipping slowly away with a blunt chisel
fine grey dust falls to the pavement
pieces of pretense fall away
only to reveal another
mask of masquerading stone

Foyer

opulance and luxury
decadence and snobbery
crimson reds and dark mahogony
fills the empty foyer

gold, copper, silver and bronze
diamonds, emeralds, rubies,
sapphire, topaz and opal
fill the empty foyer

the heavy scent of debauchery
and excessive exploitation
floats across the stale air and
fills the empty foyer

the empy foyer awaits
for it's next victim
to fall prey to its
charm
