Bio
40; army brat; bisexual... still living with my ex partner (uhm, it's complicated?); perpetually confused, which makes me look like i'm doing a ditzy act, but actually it's not put on; middle class in cash if not culture (freaking finally); INFP/INFJ; SSRI, lithium, nicotine lozenge and caffeine dependent. Driven to laziness, odd fits of needing to 'fix' things, subthreshold hypomanic moments of productiveness (rarely) and random weirdness (often). --------------------------- If you have regular suicidal thoughts, please try lithium. It's worth a shot and has worked wonders for me.

i love you

Rate: 52 Flag

i love you
i roll you over and over in my thoughts
the tongue of my mind caressing the flavor that is you

no rhyme or reason today
just endless lapping of watery winter at my eyes
the melting of spring into something more harsh

I love you i say
but not where anyone can hear it

harsh is not at all bad.
beyond the hearing of others.
the test of love, is what i have found........

Rhyme, reason , comes from the world where others hear us..

ah but can you HOLD to this?:

I love you
i roll you over and over in my thoughts
the tongue of my mind caressing the flavor that is you

no rhyme or reason today,,,,


tough gig.

hugs back to ya Mission :) you are loved, too, very much

James- naw, I never hold onto emotions, they just pass through... it's not intentional, but probably better that way...no, definitely better that way. Cannot imagine a landscape of torrential rains or endless groundcracking lifebleeding sunny days

Kate :D

laugh :D oh Asia

Hey, a poem I can grok.

"i roll you over and over in my thoughts
the tongue of my mind caressing the flavor that is you" Nice way of putting it.

I get to meet you soon Amy! How cool is that?

Trig, you got me to laugh, be careful of all those ramifications of everything you say ;) ...and don't say.

That's some beautiful and precise babbling. Just evocative. I'm not sure I read it as a good mood, but I recognize the images. Not everything has to be a celebration. Love and harsh go together.

Seems wishful and wistful to me..

Rated for don't settle for resigned.

"Not everything has to be a celebration." Thank you Sirenita. Not sure why I needed someone else's ok to be comfortable with that, but I did. Damn, the stupid things we expect of ourselves and each other :/

Seer, never, ever, resigned ;D
god forbid...
laugh, actually I am resigned about much of life. Romantic love is only a small facet of what I have given up on :) Although love, love is still largely intact.

this is striking in its simplicity....what is said and what makes us imagine. Cool.

The flavor of love is hard to describe. You did it and it looked like it was easy for you.

Lovely gentle whispering ... even if accompanied ... by the lapping of tears ... thinking of you, Julie, as I read your words.

Loving in silence. Is it an unrequited love?

Hmmm... I'm only on my second cup of coffee and still trying to get my heart started... "something more harsh".... feels like that for me every morning, damn I hate mornings... I remember the love thing though, especially "the flavor that is you."

Very neat, very clean, so much to say in so few words... very good work.

I wish my mind could this beauty rather than just appreciate it.

Thanks for making me feel heard and loved. I'd answer individually, but need to get cleaned up for work.
Looking forward to reading you guys later.
