“Taking A Nap Is Always So Risky Like When Will I Wake Up? In Thirty Minutes? In 2 Hours? In 7 Years?.

“Some writers research in order to write. I write in order to research topics that interest me.”

— Chuck Palahniuk

I fell asleep and into your arms

Lying there luxuriating in bed

In each other; raptly willing to watch those eyes

--More than anything any app could stream--

Surface rippling rivetingly

Intimating all that teems beneath

Yet somehow riveted on me

Heart-racing soul-stirring

Embracing as the flame burns hotter

Stroking innocently until the intent

Gains in momentum, in urgency

Only we're not alone, witnesses surround

So we furtively glance around tickling

Ears with our murmurings

Plotting to sneak away...our stares

And sighs asking, why wait?

They matter too but not as much

As we do, as our untamable

Urges do, at this moment

If this be no more than a one-time

Wonderful dream detour

Another almost--but a bittersweet

Tantalizing taste

Would it be better preserved

That way or a crying shame waste?

Will I ever even have a say

When awake?

I will take as much space I want, if it bothers you then you can change.

borrowed time

I’m walking up against the wind, this is indeed my borrowed time

the cuffs, the lattice the burning furnace the thorny glade the wired wall

magnitude of malevolence, one tired hand upon another cutting into this air slithering through inadvertently

egress, the high transom window and sight of sunshine

…

I’m walking with the wind now, this is no longer borrowed time

the hatchery the abundant cloud the river, the highway the umbilical love

relevance of release into the transformation, the perpetual firelight the significant ease the expanding awareness

all flight, free as feathers

I talk to the universe all the time.

- Ted Lange

–I believe there are no authors like Franz Kafka in gen z. If there were, then i would have got my letters by now.

Where's my hero to "The Notebook" ?!?!?! Sleeping?

#not me crying over zero letters in 2021

“Wild women are an unexplainable spark of life. They ooze freedom and seek awareness, they belong to nobody but themselves yet give a piece of who they are to everyone they meet. If you have met one, hold on to her, she’ll allow you into her chaos but she’ll also show you her magic.”

For some reason, I always thought that I would magically stop being shy once I graduated high school, but nope. Turns out shyness isn’t something you grow out of, it’s something you work your way out of.

Aphrodite: god I have a headache

Athena: you tend to have a lot of headaches

Aphrodite: I don’t drink enough water

Athena: oh yeah me neither

Aphrodite: hot girls are dehydrated

Athena: that’s what I’m saying
