Favorite Quote:
"I've learned two things in my life. One that love is the beginning and end of all meaning. And two that it is the same thing whatever shape our souls have taken on this journey. Love is love. Is love." -Clive Barker's Abarat

my heart cries

clearer tears than those from my eyes
my soul screams

louder than could ever come from my mouth
my life shatters

and is somehow now truer than ever

save me! i cry, and you reach out a hand

lazily
and i am not saved

hold me! i beg, and you pat my back,

absent minded,
and i am not held

love me! i plead, and you kiss my cheek,

eyes on her,
and i am not loved

It wasn't said by me, but my favorite quote is: "Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves." - Brendan Francis
