This post will try to express nothing in particular...

This post will fail miserably...

If I'm not part of the solution...

I was sad when I sat down to type...

To share with my fellow Knowflakes the isolation I feel...

(Something ironic in that, I guess)...

Stark moments of self-conscious awareness today...

But something made me laugh; The Simpsons.

Its that easy, I guess.

Guess I'm just shallow.

Yeah, let me share that, this is healthy.

Never know whether to share this negativity or not.

Rather bottle it up, let it explode somewhere deep inside, undetected.

I know I need an outlet.

Said goodbye to drugs.

The girl is out of reach these past few days...

Somehow a journal doesnt cut it,
sick of talking to myself...

But should I take it out on you?

The Buddhists say there's enough suffering, dont add to it.

Am I adding to it?

Or just passing it around...?

Sweeping it under Your rug.

Are we in this together?

Am I here all alone?

Dont reply to this, please,
dont offer any consolation, unless you have it to give freely,
I dont want anyone to give more than they can spare.

Why am I doing this?

Am I just Self-absorbed?

Sometimes a hug feels like a slap,
a slap can feel like a hug.

Do you know what I mean?

Do I, REALLY?

Soliloquy of Hearts (with Simon Thurlow)
by Rose Limongi

From the well of the soul springs forth a feeling

Anchored yet fluid it moves about the churning sea heart

Brought to the fore by the rage of emotional disease

Swirling, spiraling, demanding, to be denied no longer

The enigma that swelled under the might of self-doubt

Metamorphed into something quite unexpected

In chrysalis form it was no more than a child

Now broken free of the animosity that caged it within

From the darkened realms of nightmarish visions

To the sun-kissed vista that swelled with pride

Never-ending journey to a dream held so dear

Determination rife and refusing to be quelled

Exacerbated emotions bubbling to the surface

Tears long since congealed return to life

No longer a symbol of misery and distress

But a talisman of all that was simply meant to be

Bathed in an orgy of long lost yearning

Succumbing to the inevitable without a care

Knowing at last the chains have been severed

Exulting in a warmth simply cradled by love

A smile is now visible as one of contentment

Sense of serenity for the first time in years

Acknowledging that fate has turned a card in favour

Awaiting the next step that one must surely take

Ever mindful of the reality that anchored this feeling

Bound by duty and obligation, yet love soars still

Enduring moments of anguish while daring to dream

Preparing for the day ahead when all becomes as it should

Armoured in love as the life battle arrives on the horizon

Sunrise justice illuminates the path eradicating the darkness

A child no more, this feeling slays foes and removes barriers

Clinging steadfast to the belief that love is a dream

One fulfilled when it meets with the sea heart reality

The sufferance of injustice weeps on the wind

For the souls that flowered in the wrong place and time

Searching for deliverance from the crooked hand of fate

Holding on to the dream of one day being released

Anaemic alibis were quickly rumbled

But merely served to reinforce the feeling that it was always intended

Straightjacket holds tight but its time is passing

Breath no longer laboured for destiny is yet to play her hand

Absentia absolves the feeling of despair

A kiss on the dusk as real as could be

As the world turns slowly bringing two hearts ever closer

For the same wish echoes on a star in twilight hours

Each morning the sun rises as one looks to the East

Each evening it settles as the other looks to the West

Across the void they lock in union

One, not two, in a passionate embrace.

Yeah.

No sympathy here.

Just empathy.

You and I have a lot of the same placements... c'nest pas?

And you have seen my woes here.
I think I can say with assurance, that I know. Different motivators perhaps, but I DO know.
Your isolation is safely shared here.

Don't take ownness away from a Scorpio. He made himself feel, and will continue to do so forever and ever.
Circumstance, reaction, perspective.
My husband doesn't make me feel 'this way'.. no matter what he can do or not do.
It is a deep well inside that needs to be expressed in the medium one chooses.

No one has that kind of power.
Only within.

So relax.
And let him vent,
and you can vent
and we will listen to you both if you so choose.

Sometimes isolated things feel overwhelmingly connected.

Let it all happen and don't place or take blame.

If I knew he was ok, perhaps I wouldnt worry so much.

Thanks pix, as always, you are a rock when it comes to raging uranian thunderstorms in our tumultous story.

Maya, relax! Find you dynamic stillness, your inner chi!!! calm soothing breaths!!! it will be fine. he is fine. No one can make anyone feel something. It is internal. I think he has alot of feeling to deal with right now. As I am sure you do to. THe turmoil will strengthen the realationship. I am really not the one to take realationship advice from, i suppose. But I really feel you will both work through all of the stuff that goes along with starting a relationship with someone.

Thanks bluemoon, for the wisdom,
maya, for the poem,
and pixie, for being you.

pixie,

I want to say something but I dont know what to say right now. A lot is going on, nothing is going on. Suffice it to say that I'm very touched by your remarks. For whatever reason, you (or the evolving impression I have of you), mean something to me, and your opinion of me has a pronounced influence on my self-image. Though you are considerate enough not to say so, I often imagine that I appear ridiculous (or worse) to you, as I often appear rididulous to myself, and I think, in consideration of the similarities we do share, you must see me much as I see myself at those moments. (for instance, right now, i'm expressing myself ridiculously - but, despite my awareness of it, I am determined not to revise my words, i would rather appear ridiculous, or, perhaps, i fear that no amount of revision would help)

A-n-y-w-a-y...

I thank you.

Though we come from different worlds,
it would appear we are similar in some very honest ways. And some part of me does feel very close to some part of you.

(You know what I mean. Such a dirty mind, pix!)

peace, love, empathy,
hsc

Hmmmm.. I can get psychological, and analyse, and say that you feel ridiculous, therefore project that onto me and my perception, the one you imagine I have.
I don't think you are ridiculous.
I have empathy. I feel a lot even when I can't express it. In Fact, the more I understand something, the more silent I will be because words seem insignificant.
So when I try to express this knowing, it comes out garbled.
Maybe I have indicated, due to my own ridiculousness that I find you insignificant?
No... I just don't comment on a lot of things.
Sometimes I find these burgeoning love dramas a tad tiresome.. not their existence, but their uncertainty, and in the passion of feelings, things are misconstrued, and of course it feels lke a woe-is-me fest and I feel obligated to comment.
I mean, I don't mean to sound judgemental, because I do understand, and believe me, I have had and will continue to have my own dramas. Some I share, so I understand the inclination and the safety of this special place.

I just find myself thinking...
RELAX!!!
Let it happen! Stop perceiving this as the end of the world... But from the outside It looks diffrent... mayb it does feel like that. Some relationships are intense, and it sounds like this one is.
With intensity, and anything strong, comes uncertainty on a deeper level.

So once again.. I do not feel you are ridiculous.
Thank you for the nice things you said.
I am in no position to be elevated, I am just me.
