You are love itself!

you can shit on cannibalism all you want but who aches for you so morbidly that the only way they feel satiated in loving you is to consume you?

Writer Beware makes posts on which publishing houses to avoid at all costs, which words to look for and which words to watch out for in contracts, and several other things that will keep you in control and knowledgeable about the publishing process.  I’d suggest reading through the website if you want to avoid getting ripped off, cheated, or scammed.

I’m just going to reblog this every so often because it’s a site that every writer needs to see.

He painted the counter orange

When I said I needed oranges

One is longer lasting

But not sustaining

"It's a metaphor," he says

The way we're aways reaching

For the back that's against us

Turned away

Preoccupied with something more important

Four eyes looking forward

Just past the interconnected lines

Disconnected minds

Grounded in something more

Reaching for that counter

Absent of any fruit

"I could really go for some oranges"

As I grab the keys

I drive under the stars

Then, blinded by fluorescence

I pick between the dried husks

Gleaming

I take my prizes home

Tear past the bitter skin

Peel away the refuse

Sink my teeth in

"It's a metaphor," I say

As juice runs down my chin

Little drops pooling

On the freshly painted counter

Yet another tragedy is this: no living hand knows magma.

The fact of the matter is that magma–

which typically sits above 1000 degrees Fahrenheit–

Is at least five times the heat it takes to cause a full thickness burn–

Meaning that–

Again–

We encounter something beyond comprehension–

And even bringing your hand near is enough for nerve cells to die.

This is only one of many things too much for me–

Too much for my infinitely small human body–

Which isn't as small as I would like, but small nonetheless–

At least in comparison to everything that I am not.

Things like coffee cups–

The 4:30 traffic–

The molten core of the Earth–

Fossils of a life–

Things that will endure long after I am gone.
