The gentle motions of waves
The gentle motions of waves carry back the distant memory of you.
Oceans of time have separated us. Yet, time's fog is burnt off by nostalgia’s sharp sunlight.
Sensations years old re-remembered in dazzling clarity.
We've changed; time has redefined who we once were.
But in that moment, your arm around me, I remember who I am.

Of Coffee and Stereotypes
"I am so sick of 'pumpkin-flavored everything.' Fuck this."
She snorted in amusement at his petulance. The Starbucks they stood in was rather unpopulated, despite the early hour.
"I know what you mean," she said, inclining her head toward him but keeping her eyes fixed on the menu boards above the baristas. "I love fall, and I love pumpkin, but keep it the fuck out of my coffee."
He was the first to look at her.
"Right?" he smiled. She met his gaze, and returned the infectious expression. He had to be in his forties, with dark hair that showed just the finest hints of lightening, and light eyes that crinkled at the corners. Distinguished,
With mounting anticipation, she clutched her bag more tightly in her fist, and minded the ukulele in her other--the damn thing refused to stay tuned despite all the curses and coaxing and cajoling she lavished upon it. She only barely endured the waiting.
The train barreled into the station with a roar, doors whooshing open to reveal an empty coach. No one boarded, and no one arrived. Up the stairs she climbed in silence, and took for herself the first available seat. A conductor passed, whose face the girl did not notice, and quickly ripped her ticket without a word. She heard the doors of the car open, then shut as the train labored on, le
She, spritely, all petite curves and impish smiles.
Dangerous. Lovely.
He, quiet, stoic, keen intellect and unassuming.
Disarming. Charming.
They stand close, the deserted bridge stretching into darkness, the path before a dark shadow, and the path behind brightly lit; the night sky yawns the deepest blue, with only pinpricks of light glittering overhead, like pearls on velvet.
She spins, arms outstretched, and giggles.
"Come dance with me!" she beckons, prancing close to darkness.
Why?
Why not? she could respond.
I am tired.
Excuses come easy. she could chide.
I don't know how.
I will teach you. she could coax.
He asks from her
You were my happiness, and when You left,
i could not smile.
You were my breath, and when You left,
i could not speak.
You were my heart, and when You left,
i could not walk.
You were my everything, and when You left,
i felt i had nothing.
You were my life, and when You left,
i was convinced i would never love again.
i begged You not to leave, but You left anyway:
you were my happiness, and when you left,
I could not smile,
but I learned how to laugh.
you were my breath, and when you left,
I could not speak,
but I learned how to sing.
you were my heart, and when you left,
I could not walk,
but I learned how to dance.

I am a 22-year old starving artist, and I enjoy all the simpler things in life--good tea, writing, reading, dancing, poking at the ukulele, listening to music, watching the seasons change, cooking, organizing.
I mainly write, and I mainly write fantasy in various settings.
Current Residence: Bay Area, CA Favourite genre of music: Does it have a good beat? MP3 player of choice: My shitty first gen ipod nano. I'm so hipster.

Jim Butcher, George RR Martin, Charles Stross, Neil Gaimen, the list goes on...
Tools of the Trade
Anything I can express myself with.
Other Interests
I like nature, writing, drawing, singing, dancing, reading, cooking...
I grew up pretty traditionally in regards to sex, love and marriage: you fell in love with someone, you married, and had sex with them. Childbirth before marriage was seen as something of, well. My mom used the term "bastard" in hushed, conspiratorial terms. That little boy in my 4th grade class? Well, his parents still aren't married, and so he's a little bastard. See, girl, your father and I were married before you were even conceived. You are not a bastard. Like it actually earned me something.
I recently had a discussion with a more fundamental friend of mine. Asked why marriage was so important, especially when kids are concerned. I cou
But perhaps it is time to dust this old thing off.
I've had it for years now, used only to creep on the few friends I have on dA. Never really posted anything because, well, what did I have to show? Yeah, I wrote a lot, but it was all shitty self-insert fanfiction. I doodled a lot too, but I was never any good. Besides, who wants to read the deluded, self centered, spasmodic ramblings of an teenage girl who feels so small and helpless, so ineffectual in her own life?
Maybe I shouldn't be so hard on myself. Back then, all the world was a stage, and ideas (even if they were bad, looking back) flowed through me and over me, and I lived my art.
