So, why exactly did I start this blog?

I started this blog because I wanted to get some things "out there," and being able to get responses to those "things" sounded quite appealing. So, I would like to share some excerpts from my journals, which I have been told in the past should be published someday, on this blog. I have kept a journal since I could write, and my Mom kept one for me since before that. So, when I get to typing up some excerpts periodically on here, I'll probably start with the ones dating before I could write for myself. If I can figure out how to scan in three-year-old art I'll include that, too. But as kind of a prequel, I'd like to share some recent poetry. Please let me know what ya'll think.

beauty
is jinn and a rolled French r
waking to the scent of breakfast
I didn't have to make
the smile of love in your eyes
sun-soaked skin
the smoothness of that spot
and my fingers curling your
curled hair
meaning
is joy infused so deep
by the scent of bacon
laziness
and the sun's sweet heat
feelings exude from your smile
your skin so soft to the touch
of my rough, chapped
lips
love
is life with all its meaning
beauty with all its sadness
yellow smiles and furrowed brows
otherness we can't describe
jinn and a rolled French r
