Lonliness

I have no real news. I'm exhausted again. I just can't get into the swing of this new schedule. The online guy that I've told ya'll about and myself are apparently on the outs. I hope to rectify that soonest. Dunno about that. I'll be housesitting at my parents this week. WOOT. Lots of room to spread out which is nice. I'm posting one of my own poems for the blog today, I wrote it the other night. It could probably stand some tweaking ... but I'm too tired to tweak.

Here's a bit of a funny:

No matter what situations life throws at you...

No matter how long and treacherous your journey may seem...

Remember, there is always a light

at the end of the tunnel.....

You're laughing aren't you?
That's good......my job here is done!
Have a great day!


Just so you all know, I really am reading your blogs, I just haven't had any comments to make. I'm still lurking around though. =)

On with the blog-o-rama ...

Quodlibet

PRONUNCIATION:
(KWOD-li-bet)

MEANING:
noun:
1. A subtle argument, especially on a theological or philosophical issue.
2. A musical medley: a whimsical combination of popular tunes.

ETYMOLOGY:
From Latin quodlibetum, from Latin quod (what) + libet (it pleases), meaning "whatever pleases". Earlier the term referred to a mock exercise in discussion. Sense 2 arose from its use in German to refer to a gallimaufry of light-hearted musical compositions.

USAGE:
"Someone was sending me a signal. If words are unimportant, punctuation is something even more lowly. Why worry about such quodlibets? When was the last time anyone even noticed?"

Lonliness

Stuporous rages, malcontent
lonliness abrupt and halting in words
lazy hazy mornings head rushing
heart racing
drinking milk out of the carton
in the kitchen, bare feet

cold so cold
and the lonliness, on the edge
of a madness undefined
unable to conquor
sleep is shattered
restlesness is tossing on the sea

hurt turns to anger
red and purple and yellow
like a bruise
blood beating time
a song in my head
in my head, heart, belly, soul
spewing forth, fiery dragons breath

blackened thoughts, darkened dreams
dreaming while awake and bitter
bile on my tongue the taste foul
and the lonliness eats away at
the minute sanity.

beat the time ... beat the time

False smiles, incoherant purpose
one step then the other, another
no destination, a merry-go-round
dulled life, fabricated cheer.

And the lonliness ...
