It mattered most when I least expected it...

I heard you whisper last week
your lips were pressed against my ear.
And even though the words have passed
the message is still clear.

It really meant something.
The calm one, the one with the reason…his tongue is raw with truth, and my ears bleed faith. My deft eyes claim certainty. It was well hidden between the curtain and the guillotine.

My devoted hands work tirelessly to articulate a minstrel's vow. The commission of such an act gives me a unique sense of purpose, and helps stave off the return of my old internal debate.

I am afraid to stop, my mind fraught with hindsight. Unsure if it will hold, I test the bindings.

Secure.



p.s. some speak in tides, others ride the waves in silence.

Fimble Star said...

jules, MANCHESTER. my city. as you can tell i love my home hehehe

Anonymous said...

Fimble, what do you love about it? I have never been there and I don't know what it's like. Is it clean, nice, does it rain a lot? Quiet, noisy? Do you have a favorite place to hang around there? What do you miss about it the most?

Carrie said...

Jules, whichever's the most challenging. :) Sorry you have a dead gay boyfriend too. I really really miss mine, but I have a drawing of his in my room, so it feels like he's always close.

Fimble Star said...

ok here is my list jules

1 = it rains
2 = manchester united football club. its soccar to you lovely americans
3 = it has many amazing bands from there like the smiths, oasis, and others but i cant think
4 = i am from there
5 = it smells busy and alivie and many things are hapopening
6 = it is noisy, you have the taxis, markets, singers on the street

i hope that helps. it is very easy to find on the web. do you want me to find you a page?

Anonymous said...

Fimble, I agree. Most anons don't really bother me, as long as they treat others with respect and make nice conversations. There is always going to be anons here, regardless if they are nice, mean, or plain annoying.

Carrie said...

And hey Star! Didn't mean to ignore you, especially when it takes so damn long for my comment box to come up!

Anonymous said...

No problem, Carrie!
How are you?

Original Punk J said...

Glad to hear you're ok, BC. Try some Myoflex. Or "Mayoflex" as L accidentally called it one day. :) Talk about a Freudian slip!

I have to say, even if our anonymous posters do take names, we still don't know who they are. It's easy enough to make up a credible name and post under that. As a matter of fact, we know people who do that very thing.

But, we also know someone/s who posts as "anonymous" who we do trust. Keep that in mind.

Anon2, I'd like to ask politely: have you posted here in the pasted?

Anon: Limericks I can do. You're still anonymous. Which anon were you earlier, have you posted here before, do we know you? Anyone can take a stupid name, you should make yourself known. If there's one thing I hate it's when people who have been here before come back and act as if they haven't. I'll still do your challenge though.

Fimble,

I read your comment about the unicorn you bought, that was funny. I try to get all my shopping done at one time so I don't have to deal with the rabid, drooling bargain-hunters.

But with my family, we draw names at Thanksgiving to see who buys who gifts. There's a biggish group of us, and none of us can really afford to buy a lot of presents.

BTW, I'm talking to L on the phone right now. She got us part 4 of "The Umbrella Academy" today.

Its title?

"Baby, I'll Be Your Frankenstein!"

I swear this is true.

You sat beside me in your coat
and flipped the the tails onto my dress

you had your act right down by rote.

The only thing on which you'd dote

your last few words, the last caress,
and to the end, your breath devote.

Mayo,

How are you doing this night before the night before Christmas? Wrapped up in your family and the spirit of the holiday, I hope. Me? I'm slowly allowing myself to actually enjoy this holiday season. I did my first little family Christmas thing tonight and even though I spent most of the evening in the corner with my sister, there was no place I would have rather been. I love my family so much and my sister is my life force. She is everything to me and I am the luckiest person in the world to have her. Actually, now that I think about it...how lucky am I to have my whole family with me? Pretty damn....Sorry..didn't mean to get all mushy, gushy on you tonight.

Families are such an important part of this time of year. Sure they drive us crazy...sure they are a little quirky...sure some are borderline obsessive compulsive..sure they could pass around a basket full of antidepressants at the Christmas table...sure some are convicted felons...sure some are drug addicts...sure some of them don't know when to shut up...but, you know that when you are around this crazy bunch of folks, that they're all yours. This is your family and you wouldn't trade a one of 'em for anything. These people have your back and they pull together when times get hard. They do their best to always protect you.

Hey, Mayo....It's a lot like this place you've created. Don't you think? Pretty damn amazing.

So tonight...here's to families...and may you always remember how truly special they are.

Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. Real and BlogBelieve

Original Punk J said...

And people wondered why L and I left the blog for a few days.

It is this unnecessary, ugly, name-calling shit that gets old. And embarrassing.

We ARE adults, or are supposed to be anyway. Even the teenagers in our Family are more mature than what I've been reading tonight.

I'm not even going to dangle the "it's Christmas" line out there because that shouldn't make a difference. Tempers have been running short lately, but let's try to rein it in.

I am signing off for the night ONLY. I'll be back tomorrow.

Hopefully there will be some cooler heads around here then.

Thank you K, that was really sweet--much classier than his story--he was an almost illiterate hillbilly who used to eat potted meant and onion sandwiches and light his cigs off the pilot lights on the gas stove. And quit school when he was 17 and still in the 9th grade.

A pleasure, Miss T :) It's bad enough having actual anons coming in here from INO or Buzznet or whatever other music forum hells lurk out there. But it's quite another to have our own turn on each other in this incredibly cowardly way.

Miss T, I'm okay. I'm about to go eat some more pumpkin pie. How are you?

Fair enough, anon2, and probably right in a number of cases. But it's also known that a few regulars have it in for a few others, and occasionally air their grievances anonymously. I, for one, am sick of it.

For Fimble Star, a triolet about Manchester.


In England is the heart of Fimble Star--
In Manchester, where fall the gentle rains
And though from whence she has come very far
In England is the heart of Fimble Star,
from where, she says, the most awesome bands are.
The sounds and smells, the life the land retains:
In England is the heart of Fimble Star,
In Manchester, where fall the gentle rains.

My theory is that they believe that Mayo is Gerard, and that by driving us apart and eventually away, they will be able to take our places as "Lovelies".

I think you may be right, anon2.

Hello hello Anon616, teddy bear. I missed you guys! *hugs*
Anon616, your avatar is beautiful!

=============
Thanks BC and I've missed you too.
As for my avatar, you know how I feel about them ;-)

I'm glad you received a good health report! But, If your doctor prescribed Prozac, maybe you should take it.....
If you have any adverse side effects, just let the doctor know and I'm sure he'll take you off.
One day at a time love -- one day at a time!

Anon 2: thank you for the yummy cookies! They're delicious with my hot chocolate (with kaluha)

I brought 6 gallons of the stuff.
Help yourselves everyone!!!!

Kapunua, that poem was too funny!

Hey Amyranth, Paperheart, avenger, RW, Kapunua, Miss T, anybody I missed.

I just ate a million anisette cookies that I am supposed to be taking to my mother in law's tomorrow. Good times!

Anonymous said...

Amy, you're right.
Sometimes I do wish he disabled the anon comments. I'm getting fed up with the attacks, even if I can defend myself, but I don't know. It's complicated, considering that some of them are nice.
Fimble, I agree

I am sure if he did drop by, you would never have an inkling, apart from when he wants you to know.

By the way, have some of my marble brownies too!

Anon616 said...

RW!!!! Where have you been hiding?
You haven't been under the tree sniffing the presents with SS, have you???

Anisette cookies and strouffle for everybody!

For MissT:


Across the fields

North London's pride

Ancient team
owning their domain
like stags they run
their White Hart Lane

Colors don't fade
white and sky blue
Credo forever

You can tell how tired I am by the triteness of the rhymes. ^_~

It's happened. We guess when it's him but there's no REAL confirmation.

We can hope that he sometimes sits and converses with us, just for fun. He frequently writes about himself, like he wants to express how he really feels but he can't.

If he has to fake us out to be real with us, I can deal with that.

Anon616, I'm considering taking the meds, but I'm still undecided. I'll give it some more thought. He said the medication is not addictive, but I do worry if it has serious side affects, but I'm still thinking about it. But thank you. Hi there star how are you?



Anon 2, I had stolen at least six cookies without you watching them ;)

Jennicula, did you get it? It was an acrostic, did you read down the left side? ^_^

I'll have a brownie anon 2 thank you.

Hello to Kapunua too! I didn't see you. I do see that you're busy writing some funny/lovely poems.

Anonymous said...

Anon 2, that's what he does. He won't know which anonymous is him unless he posts the timestamp on his profile page, but he doesn't do it all the time.

What is an anisette cookie? Is it like a lavender cookie?

-A is kooky for cookies.

Hello Star! :D

Sounds great!

I will also lay out the coconut cake I made from Martha Stewart Living.

Thanks! I love brownies. &&yeah, you're right.

HEY STARRR!! *HUG*

resurrected wreck said...

Brownies! My favourite, anon2. Ta!

Amyranth said...

Avenger, I noticed he hasn't been doing it lately.

I thought maybe he was too busy, but is it possible that he just wants to BE?

Not, "Hey, look Mayo posted at 12:56pm!", but more "Yes, I see your logic and raise you one common sense."

I don't know.

Awww shucks! I knew I should have added more kaluha to the hot chocolate. Perhaps I could have "enticed" the info out of you then

;-)

Hello MJ! How are you?

Anonymous said...

Amyranth,

It's flour, cream cheese, vanilla, and anisette. You bake them and then drizzle liquid confectioner's sugar on top and sprinkle them with colored nonpareils.
They are Italian, I think.

What's a lavender cookie?

If I knew I would tell ya, Fimble.
I know Marble Cake (yum) but not marble cookies.....

My computer is being a little "happy" and it is taking forever to load Mayo's. I think I'm going to stick to my own blog or DM.

Goodnight to all if I don't see you later!;

What's a lavender cookie?

Flour,egg, baking soda, sugar and lavender flowers - finely chopped.

Bake at 325 for 10 minutes, then drizzle with chocolate.

They're English or French. I think.

-A is being cheeky.

anon 2

just wondering why all these comments about mayo

are you mayo?

Anonymous said...

They are awesome, RW.
A lot easier than strouffle, which you have to roll into tiny balls and fry in boiling oil!

Anonymous said...

MissT, I'm so glad you liked it. ^_^

here is Mustard's, and I warn you it is a weird one:


Sliding down a cold shard--
Drip, hold, drip,
dying in the dying sun
and then holding
to make a point.

A single icicle from the
dreary overhang of an awning,
it catches the fading light
and I catch the drops on my tongue.

Somewhere there is a bell,
it calls for alms for the poor,
nothing changes;
even the behemoths
have always been here,
once oak and pine,
now metal and
stretching out to the water
that you can't see anymore.

Life scurries by,
frantic, those alms forgotten
or half-given from the guilt
of the prosperous,
clanging in cheap red tin and
"Thank you,
happy holidays,
thank you, happy holidays,
thank you."

Not smoke from a hearth
but steam from a grating
rises up to meet and melt
the sharpening shard
from the awning.
Exhaust, it suffuses,
overtakes the smell of
warm bread.
No place like home.
No place for home.

This moment,
I wouldn't share this with the world,
not for the world,
and I hold it to my eyes,
a moment that no one else can know:
Drip, drip,
hold,
metal, exhaust,
clang, clang,
thank you, happy holidays,
thank you, thank you,
happy holidays,
happy
thank
you
happy
