I don't fail, I just succeed in unexpected ways.

You lose nothing by revisiting the basics except perhaps ignorance of your own ineptitude.

Kindness is a habit. It takes work to establish. Work to maintain. A lifetime to practice. No one masters it. But the striving makes the world better.

Shadow Thin

In that deep shadow Between the covers And the soft curve of your hip My desire lingers Sweetly dreaming Of the kisses I've left Cooling on your thighs Of flowers of feather Tracing down your back Of my hands traversing Holding, knowing! Ah Let me pull you close Again Let me break your shadows Cover you in light Let the only deep and dark Be in that space Between us And let that space Be but shadow thin Let there be only you, me, the light outside And the dark between us

Shy

I'm shy and I'm quiet and I don't blink enough and I'll tear you apart with my eyes I'll open you up and look inside I'll weigh and measure and try to understand and it'll hurt and I'll count the tones of your screams but don't worry I'm not forever
