drenched in blood, clothed in sweat.

kiss me...

What Vestiges in the Land of the Rising Sun

This is dedicated to Yoshiko (Okada) Green; they are her memories.

Kaeru no uta ga, kikote kuruyo, kwa kwa kwa kwa
kero kero kero kero, kwa kwa kwa
I chanted with my mother, sitting

on the tatami mat, little folded frogs,
brown, yellow, red, perched in our laps.
They leapt one push at a time, hop hop hop.

Licking my finger, I made a little hole
in the paper screen to press one eye against
and peer. My father sat in...

Eating Seasons for Thought

feeds@yuku.com (SilantWanderer) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:25:56 GMT

Another creative writing project:

Words can flow as smoothly as blood
through a length of violet vein
or as roughly as grainy sandpaper
down a patch of blackened skin.

One thing is for sure,
there is no stopping either. Blood
will flow and flow and flow,
until, accomplishing its purpose, can do no more.

It's a measure of chaos, this
uncontrollable rush. Worse
still, when it's like a boat bobbing
in the...

I Traverse the Dunes of the Universe

A creative writing project for uni:

Stars frame the path,
icy and incandescent,
like a thousand washed-up pebbles
bleached white like whale bone.
Stand still,
smell the freshly bloomed
super-nova, spicy
like freshly baked pumpkin
pie on Thanksgiving.
Look to the west,
Xibalba is rising,
exploding into a magnetic
arc of gold and crimson,
hot like the kiss of electricity.
Dance from the east to the west
Circles...

"Witch" hunting on the rise.

feeds@yuku.com (SilantWanderer) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:47:12 GMT

This article, found by one of the board members, had me increasingly disturbed. Granted, this "witch" hunting isn't taking place in the countries many of us live in, but it is nonetheless unsettling to see that this is still occurring around the world. Especially towards those who, as usual, have pretty much nothing to do with magick whatsoever. Here's the article in full:

We Kissed Tomorrow Goodbye

feeds@yuku.com (SilantWanderer) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 05:51:00 GMT

Candescent stars stood stark white against the sky,

and the symphony of the night rose above the wet grass

in a shrill and brilliant harmony. I sat on the porch,

cold hands holding a hot mug of tea.

The steam curled in whimsical tendrils from the

caramel surface. I should have been thinking

about how I was going to pay next month's bills.

Or how I was going to manage living without

my best friend always shaking his finger...

Hello There?

Gifted

feeds@yuku.com (nexushorus) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 02:42:25 GMT

Not so much a poem, Just errant thoughts flying through my head at the moment.

What does it mean "to be gifted" ?
What does it mean to have power ?
Is it as easy to choose light from dark?
Is it so easy to refrain from hurting others ?

The paths sprawled out in front of each of us
So covered in grey
Often lead to hard choices
Why does it seem that all i want will cause others to be hurt?
Why does it seem that I'm better off...

Living in the Shadows for a bit...

feeds@yuku.com (RavenMarie) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 20:32:09 GMT

Due to the fact that Christy and I can't learn to keep our bad habits to ourselves and letting them get us into trouble I won't be around much for the next three or four weeks... after that I'm not sure of when I'll be able to come back... But I promise that I will be back sooner than I think ^_^

We're in the process of trying to find an apartment that is exceptable enough for the both of us (and my mother...) and trying to find second/better paying jobs as...

Goodbye

feeds@yuku.com (nexushorus) — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 07:30:52 GMT

Well...Its come to my time. Some of you know, others dont that of late i have been battling depression and im afraid i wasnt strong enough this time round. As of now, i will be severing all contact with you all with the exception of none until such time that i am able to deal with it. I cant be the strong being that some of you know me as and that is unacceptable. I pray that my goodbye is premature and that our paths cross again in the future...and that i am able to return one day but at...

my turn to vent.

feeds@yuku.com (Raven The Oracle) — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:35:24 GMT

Ok my turn. I loath how this state says I'm a bad mother. I'm a bad mother for leaving an abusive relationship. I'm a bad mother for being the only one of 7 adults working. How can people who dnt even knw you deem you a bad mother. And if I were married, it would show that I'm stable. What does marriage have to do with being stable? And my fellow managers. I'm so fucking sorry I dnt fit in with all you other whores but there's no need to pick on me. Dnt cyber stalk me....

Guess I'll be the first!

feeds@yuku.com (RavenMarie) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 21:10:22 GMT

Warning - Just a bunch of random venting... things that I really need to get off my mind... Not gonna help out much, but atleast its a try......

I'm tired of my employer! I'm tired of my managers! I'm tired of feeling like I can't do anything right! I'm tired of feeling like I'm gonna lose to woman I love all over something stupid (today she broke up with me for like three and half hours over some stupid overtime!!!) and I'm not gonna get her...

Then pics of Red and RaventheOracle

feeds@yuku.com (RavenMarie) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 19:25:22 GMT

Found these in my old room and scanned them onto the pc a few months ago while I was packing up some stuff for the new home ^ ^
Thought I'd post them up for all.
Enjoy!

my reason

feeds@yuku.com (Raven The Oracle) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 22:02:01 GMT

I'm sure some of you have wondered about my disappearance. First I want to apologize. Second, is explain. Most of us on this board are linked. I've had a great deal of angst, stress, worry and sadness lately that I've not wanted it to reflect on all of you. I love you all. If you have my phone number you can txt me. Or you can get my number from miss raven Marie. I will try to keep up. Emails are welcome too Again I'm sorry

Ello
