About Me

My photo
I use to be here to release steam; in combination with my sophomoric superiority, I didn't care what any one had to say about it. I miss that honestly, that tenacious teenager that didn't give a damn. Things were so much simpler, the words also flowed of the tongue. Now an adult I'm so much more analytical about things, imbedded in logic and complex thought or theory, my mind is racing now. Ive found the words. This should still be my place to release steam. It is time to start writing again.

To Miss Louise Olivia hunter by Edgar Allen Poe

Edgar Allen Poe is my favorite poet. People say he was crazy which i dont doubt, but that is part of what made him brilliant in my eyes. This is one of my favorite poems.



Though i turn, I fly not-
I cannot depart;
I would try, but try not
To release my heart.
And my hopes are dying.
While, on dreams relying,
I am spelled by art.

Thus, the bright snake coiling.
'Neath the forest tree
Wins the bird, beguiling,
To come down and see:
Like that bird the lover
Round his fate will hover
Till the blow is over
And he sinks-
Like me.
