it flickers

you stare at the space
where the fire meets the wick
the invisible halo
that crowns the candle

and it flickers

and you realize your skin
can't stand to be touched by another

it flickers

and you remember the nights
she held onto you
and you thought she would never let go

it flickers

even if it burns

it flickers

you stare
and swear
that space is portal
you could reach through
and caress HER skin
if only the fire was big enough

and it wouldn't flicker

like a paint chipped window shutter
in an Oklahoma twister
you heart becomes a tease
no longer protecting the pane
threatening to shatter
and let in the rain
soaking the pictures

it flickers

because there's not enough oxygen
because there's too many people
in this room

and it flickers
and you wonder

I turn on my car to find two lights on the dash. On the right, the check engine light and on the left, the empty gas tank light. As I roll over the bumps in my apartment complex, the gas light dims and disappears for a few seconds. It lets me know that there's still a bit sloshing around in there. I open my g-mail to find an e-mail from my ex. The air around me began to fizzle and my heart paused as I read. It lets me know that there's still a bit sloshing around in there. <|3

I love pomegranates

What better way to start the day than with tasty pomegranate seeds. I love these things. Full of juice and such vibrant color. I don't know whether to paint them or eat (maybe I'll do both). Plopped a few of these in the "magic bullet" and blended them up. The only problem is the hard seeds inside, hard to drink it with a zillion hard bits in it. Here's a true story, when I first got a pomegranate I had no idea how to eat it. So, I said "hey, it's a fruit, so I'll just treat it like any fruit I know." Which means I took a big bite of the pomegranate. No fun. No fun at all.
