Subliminal Message.

Relative Aperture

A smashed glass cracked
in my last careless act
catching sight off guard.
Points sparkle a dappled dance
across the hardwood floor
spreading as the day grows
and peaking at midday
then rising full in the sky
for the time I hide away.

Until evening’s effulgence
slips through severed slats
catching sight by chance
announcing a worthy time
while bringing rust to rhyme.
From lyric baring branches
pick the last pack of matches
and set alight this balefire
for grieving my darkest desire.


(As we depart, we arrive.)


p.s. thoughtfully holding the line.

Triston, you've been a naughty vamp. Are you drinking again? ^_^

Wendy, I think he needs a spanking.

I haven't talked to her lately...she hangs with Vinney a lot. I'll have to call her!! Give her a call.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I message her and see when she wants to do something! I lost her phone number *blushes*

Tell her I said HI and I haven't forgotten about our girls night out!

Triston, don't worry, you can talk shit if you want. I for one won't take you seriously. :) All in good fun.

Sometimes you just need to blow off some steam, y'know?

Or, well, something!

So easy to flirt with a vampire you know ^_^

Where is Elena? Is she working on her "Sex Pistols" installment?

Why triston, are you telling us that you are a sex addict and a perv? ^_^

Original Punk J said...

You're obviously talking to the wrong girls, TA!

WORRY NO LONGER! You're in the right place. The Night Crew has all the Perv-Seeking Lovelies any man could ask for!

I think BC is right up your alley, though. She's kinda new to the perv thing, so she's not as blase about it. heeheehee

I think there are alot of vacant hotel rooms this week, sweetcheeks.

Not much going on in NOLA this week. JAZZ FEST is coming up though!!!

Mayo

So I wasn’t gonna write anything tonight quite honestly cause I’m not sure if you’re mad at me about what I said last night. Wait, maybe you didn’t read that so forget what I just said. No, on second thought don’t. I meant what I said. I’m big on thinking the same rules should apply to everyone.

Oh I’m too tired to get back into that whole discussion. I’ve been battling dust bunnies all day and I fear they won. Blame TJ for this. I don’t want her to be frightened by the furry critters when she stays here so I had to clear them out. Just think Mayo because of this blog I’m going to be meeting up with some of my new friends in the “real” world. I’m so fucking happy about that fact. I’ve truly found people who are like me. Well not exactly like me I’m hoping they aren’t quite as eccentric but you know what I mean.

Hope you had a wonderful day full of good times and lots of laughter.

Night Mayo

A little story to ponder today:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before the Throne of Beauty
BY
Khalil Gibran

One heavy day I ran away from the grim face of society and the dizzying clamor of the city and directed my weary step to the spacious alley. I pursued the beckoning course of the rivulet and the musical sounds of the birds until I reached a lonely spot where the flowing branches of the trees prevented the sun from the touching the earth.

I stood there, and it was entertaining to my soul - my thirsty soul who had seen naught but the mirage of life instead of its sweetness.

I was engrossed deeply in thought and my spirits were sailing the firmament when a hour, wearing a sprig of grapevine that covered part of her naked body, and a wreath of poppies about her golden hair, suddenly appeared to me. As she she realized my astonishment, she greeted me saying, "Fear me not; I am the Nymph of the Jungle."

"How can beauty like yours be committed to live in this place? Please tell me who your are, and whence you come?" I asked. She sat gracefully on the green grass and responded, "I am the symbol of nature! I am the ever virgin your forefathers worshipped, and to my honor they erected shrines and temples at Baalbek and Jbeil." And I dared say, "But those temples and shrines were laid waste and the bones of my adoring ancestors became a part of the earth; nothing was left to commemorate their goddess save a pitiful few and the forgotten pages in the book of history."

She replied, "Some goddesses live in the lives of their worshippers and die in their deaths, while some live an eternal and infinite life. My life is sustained by the world of beauty which you will see where ever you rest your eyes, and this beauty is nature itself; it is the beginning of the shepherds joy among the hills, and a villagers happiness in the fields, and the pleasure of the awe filled tribes between the mountains and the plains. This Beauty promotes the wise into the throne the truth."

Then I said, "Beauty is a terrible power!" And she retorted, "Human beings fear all things, even yourselves. You fear heaven, the source of spiritual peace; you fear nature, the haven of rest and tranquility; you fear the God of goodness and accuse him of anger, while he is full of love and mercy."

After a deep silence, mingled with sweet dreams, I asked, "Speak to me of that beauty which the people interpret and define, each one according to his own conception; I have seen her honored and worshipped in different ways and manners."

She answered, "Beauty is that which attracts your soul, and that which loves to give and not to receive. When you meet Beauty, you feel that the hands deep within your inner self are stretched forth to bring her into the domain of your heart. It is the magnificence combined of sorrow and joy; it is the Unseen which you see, and the Vague which you understand, and the Mute which you hear - it is the Holy of Holies that begins in yourself and ends vastly beyond your earthly imagination."

Then the Nymph of the Jungle approached me and laid her scented hands upon my eyes. And as she withdrew, I found me alone in the valley. When I returned to the city, whose turbulence no longer vexed me, I repeated her words:

"Beauty is that which attracts your soul, and that which loves to give and not to receive."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope beauty - in all forms - surrounds you all today!

Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Yellow, yellow, yellow,
It eats into the leaves,
Smears with saffron
The horned branches that lean
Heavily
Against a smooth purple sky.

There is no light—
Only a honey-thick stain
That drips from leaf to leaf
And limb to limb
Spoiling the colours
Of the whole world.

I am alone.
The weight of love
Has buoyed me up
Till my head
Knocks against the sky.

See me!
My hair is dripping with nectar—
Starlings carry it
On their black wings.
See, at last
My arms and my hands
Are lying idle.

How can I tell
If I shall ever love you again
As I do now?

The Desolate Field
by William Carlos Williams

Vast and grey, the sky
is a simulacrum
to all but him whose days
are vast and grey and --
In the tall, dried grasses
a goat stirs
with nozzle searching the ground.
My head is in the air
but who am I . . . ?
-- and my heart stops amazed
at the thought of love
vast and grey
yearning silently over me.

so nice to see you again. Making little efforts that grow and increase in momentum until they are more than you ever dreamed. Are you smiling for all the right reasons? Just wondered if it was after I told you to grin like a fool cause people wonder why. Well regardless I hope you do everything for the right reasons as should we all.
sending love smiles and hugs to you and those you love
lotsa love

goodnight blogbelieve!

Mayo,

How is everything in your world? I hope everything is nice and comfy. Me? I'm okay. Music is flowing through my house. The weird ass alternative hillbilly punk metal head freak that I am...I have already listened to Sick Puppies, Steve Earle and The Killers. I am going to go way out there on that limb and bet you that I am the only person on the face of this beatiful blue planet who has done that this morning. Anyone else who claims they have would just be bullshitting me to get on my good side.

Anyways, with my music crunk and song lyrics and music playing in my head, I think I should be okay today. The soundtrack for my day will play alongside me and get me through.

Feel me?

Mayo, what's your soundtrack for the day?

Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. Welcome to My World..where I am Under the Gun..and holding The Devil's Right Hand.

Goodmorning all!

Mayo,
Don't make us come and get you out of your room young man.
*waggles finger*
We're not going to eat you over what you did, you know.
In the meantime enjoy your Thursday! Wait,is it Thursday there? Yep I think it must be. Okay, definitely have a good Thursday!

SS,
Nice to read you. So where did you find your secret place then? Were you all spidey-like, concealed in a ceiling corner hoping no one looked up, and, that you didn't drop your blog communicator.
Or dare I say more likely blogging in the bog? Ewww! Hope you washed your keys afterwards ^_~

FASC, welcome back!
Kapunua, yes,yes,yes! to 7:30
Kass, princess, socky, anons - hi!

Goodnight all!

You guys ever wake up humming a song or, just out of nowhere, start singing one to yourself with no idea how it got there?

Totally happened to me this morning. So, for all of you, Mayo and SS as well, I leave you with Simon and Garfunkel.

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around

(Chorus)

Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
When you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind

(Chorus)


I hope each and every one of you have a perfect Thursday. Almost the weekend! Later everyone. :)

Love's Philosophy
by Percy Bysshe Shelley


The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of Heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle -
Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea -
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?

Hello Mayo, SS and Family!

I’m sorry yesterday I just said hi and then disappeared, but there was a blackout in the whole neighbourhood and I couldn’t come back here.


SS, I missed you! *sigh*
It’s really nice to see you though.
Your words are priceless as always.I know we’ve told you this many times before, but you’re really an inspiration to us. What Mustard said is true: we are all following your advice and trying to make a difference.
You’ve made us better people, and for this I thank you.
Cheers, my friend. Stay safe.


Hey Mayo, the same goes to you. Hope you’re okay and having a great day. Take care, dude.


Guys,I’ll catch you all later.
Have a fantastic day!
Love you.
*HUGS & KISSES*

Hry we have a blog for porn. It's a porn blog and we wanted you all to know, we have a blog for porn.

In case you didn't know, we have a blog and porn writing goes on it.

We now have a blog dedicated to porn.

At our other blog, you can write X rated stories. Porn.

SS we really want you to read our porn stories, so pease go to our porn blog. Our stories are thinly veiled about Frank Iero, and we want you to read our porn stories about Frank Iero, precsious. We know you are married but we hate your wife. Notice how we were the only ones here who weren't happy about your wedding.

Mayo I don't know if you got the message but we have a porn blog. We think you're Gerard and you're gay, but BC has written a thinly veiled story about GW as a vampire and it's porn. We want you at our blog too.

In case anyone doesn't know, our other blog is for X rated stuff so please go look.

If you missed any of our messages, take a look at our porn blog.

We want you all to know that we have sex lives. It makes us feel better to know that you think we have lives outside of the blog and we still think and write a lot about sex. Even though the sex stories are really about FI and GW, we want you to think they're not.....but really know thry are.

Everyone please go to our porn blog because we have one now!

But especially SS and Mayo! And please leave us comments!!!!

elena said...

Wow who unsealed a tin of sarcasm on this blog today?

Do you think there will ever be a day when everyone is just nice to each other? No snotty, mean remarks but just words of support and caring?

Yeah, it's nice to dream that a day like that could happen.

Anonymous said...

Mayo might look at the stupid porn blog, but SS has more class. He wouldn't be interested in reading porn.

Anonymous said...

especially porn that is about HIM

Original Punk J said...

Anon, at 12:00, that's the funniest thing I have read all day. Seriously, we are not offended, actually amused!

But the question is, did you like it? And you know you can contribute if you like...

L.

Original Punk J said...

You know if you say "porn blog" over and over it starts sounding like "corn dog"?

And it's for "erotica", thank you very much. And for writers who want to try their hand at writing something different.

It's not about anyone in particular, just harmless fun. No likey, no read.

Savvy?

L.

Anonymous said...

Yes I did read it, and no it doesn't qualify as erotica. It was really bad, BC of course being the worst. I hope they DON'T read it b/c it's embarrassing. It is also obviously about them. No class.

Anonymous said...

anon at 1231, Frank is human you know, i bet he jacks off every day when he's on tour.

nothing wring with having a sex drive. i bet he has a strong sex drive being from an italian background.

Anonymous said...

And the way you keep talking about it and inviting them makes you look pahetic. WE GET IT!! You wrote porn about the rock stars you think are THE HOTTEST and you want them to read it. We get it already!

I think porn would make Frank blush.

QFT! He is a gentleman. He respects women and doesn't objectify them or view them as sex objects. I can't even imagine him just fucking someone like an animal, I bet he needs to have feelings for the person and will make love to them.

I agree wholeheartedly.

The blog was created to give people a place to have work critiqued, commented on, that might not have been written otherwise. That is why we accept anons. People are muliti-faceted, and complicated. You cannot lump them all in one catagory and say this person is like this, this one is like that.

The offers to Mayo and SS were tongue-in-cheek, they do have a sense of humor. Course if they want to contribute, that's up to them, now isn't it.

The writings are going to be different from different people, ranging from PG to X, poems, stories, all written material. It was created in response to several people wanting a place they could feel free to express themselves. That is why we don't censor the writers, unless it is EXTREME.

The people in the stories are nameless and faceless, no real person fiction allowed.

I hope this clears up a few things. Also, you realize the more you talk about it, the more you are advertising it. So if that is not your intent, it would be advisable to let it be.

Original Punk J said...

As for the stopping of the troop withdrawl...I can't even begin to say what I want to about it. Too many curse words and too much anger.

We have traded a river of blood for a river of oil.
